Hitachi
Display Products Group
has appointed Anglia,
the UK’s largest
privately owned electronic
component distributor,
to market its range of
industrial LCDs in the
UK.
The agreement is designed
to help Hitachi achieve
greater penetration into
the industrial market
as its European sales
manager, Steve Dyson explains,
“Displays are one
of the fastest growing
areas for the UK components
industry and they are
appearing in an ever-more
diverse range of industrial
applications. Anglia has
a particularly strong
industrial customer base
and we see a great opportunity
for them to achieve long-term
growth in this market
with our products.”
Hitachi’s monochrome
and colour graphic LCDs
range from 2.6”
to 10.4”. Features
include wide temperature
range operation, long
life cold fluorescent
light (CFL) and high brightness
white LED backlights,
touch panel options, low
power consumption and
industry leading quality.
Hitachi’s 5.7”
QVGA line up offers mechanical
compatibility throughout
the monochrome STN, colour
STN and TFT offerings,
providing maximum flexibility
for customers.
Anglia’s marketing
director, Lee Nye, confirms
his company’s commitment
to the product line, “We
already have a dedicated
business manager for displays
and are adding a full-time
FAE to support the Hitachi
line, plus additional
internal sales resources.
The products are complementary
to our existing display
technologies and will
improve our ability to
deliver the optimum display
solution for each application.
We’re seeing increasing
demand for LCD products,
and it’s a privilege
to be able to add a renowned
brand like Hitachi to
our customer offering.”
