Hitachi introduces new 10.4 inch TFT LCD module with full ROHS compliance

07. 11. 2005

Hitachi Display Products Group today announced the introduction of the TX26D02, successor to the TX26D01. The new module is a high brightness 10.4-inch colour TFT display that is fully compliant with ROHS requirements. Ideal for a wide range of display and interface applications, the new display panel delivers a 640 x 480 resolution. Using new components to ensure ROHS compliance, the new TX26D02 delivers excellent performance. Two cold cathode fluorescent tubes for backlighting provide 380 cd/m² brightness with a 500:1 contrast ratio, making it ideal for applications in ambient light conditions.

“Offering full electrical and mechanical compatibility with its predecessor the TX26D01, the new module offers customers the option of upgrading existing products with an ROHS compliant module. The TX26D02 is ideal for applications including process control, e-pos and networked information kiosks where bright colours, graphics and text are displayed,” comments Mark Dalton, Business Development Manager for Hitachi Display Products Group. “Larger format colour display modules are becoming increasingly common across many applications so it makes sense for our customers to choose a display module that offers both excellent performance and compliance with environmental standards.”

Designed to present information to the user in a clear, concise format, the TX26D02 offers a highly flexible colour display with excellent performance. It is a transmissive display capable of producing 262,144 colours in a screen measuring 211mm x 158 mm. The module operates at temperatures between -20° C and 70° C and weighs just 445g. Its physical dimensions are 243mm (W) x 181mm (H) x 12mm (D).

The TX26D02 is supplied through Hitachi Display Product Group’s distribution partners. It is available across Europe immediately. For more information, please visit www.hitachi-displays-eu.com or call +44(0)1628 585 000. Hitachi Display Product Group is part of Hitachi Europe Ltd.
