Industrial specification, 16:9
aspect display modules from 7 to 15.4 inches
With customers increasingly demanding the flexibility
to display more information for an improved user
experience, Hitachi Display Products Group has announced
four new widescreen TFT LCD display modules in a
16:9 display format. Featuring display sizes of 7,
9, 12 and 15.4 inches, the new modules deliver industrial
levels of specification, WVGA and WXGA resolutions
and join the 7-inch, WVGA high brightness TX18D16VM1CAB
display launched earlier this year.
“We see 16:9 wide format modules as the future
direction for industrial displays and the launch
of these LCD
modules places Hitachi at the forefront of this growth
market. With four display sizes and wide VGA and
XGA resolutions our strategy is to continue to offer
customers the best quality, choice and value in the
market,” comments Mark Stephenson, Product
Manager for Hitachi Display Products Group. “We
see these modules being used in a wide variety of
application areas particularly in medical and industrial
monitoring where the wide screen enables larger amounts
of data to be displayed. The wide viewing angle of
the 9-inch IPS module also lends itself to gaming
and personal media applications.”
