Expanding portfolio of wide format
aspect ratio TFT displays
Hitachi Europe Ltd, Display Products Group (DPG)
continues to enhance and develop its range of wide
aspect ratio LCD TFT displays. Traditional TFT technology
and the continued migration of Hitachi’s impressive
IPS-Pro (in-plane-switching) technology to industrial
and commercial displays enables Hitachi to offer
an expanding portfolio of wide format TFT display
solutions. The family line up now includes display
sizes of 7, 8, 9, 12, 15.4 and 17 inches and supports
WVGA and WXGA resolutions. Hitachi’s IPS-Pro technology
now provides the industrial market with medium size
displays that benefit from exceptionally wide viewing
angles, excellent colour saturation and reproduction.
"We see the wide format display modules as a future
growth area for the industrial sector. These widescreen
LCD modules place Hitachi firmly at the forefront
of this developing market. With six display sizes
and wide VGA and XGA resolutions our strategy is
to continue to offer customers market leading optical
performance, long term availability and continuity
of supply” comments Mark Stephenson, Product Manager
for Hitachi Display Products Group. “Wide format
TFT displays will find use in many front panel, instrumentation
and process control systems and designs. The mechanical
footprint of the wide format TFT display is ideally
suited for human machine interface applications particularly
medical and industrial monitoring. Information, data
and graphics can be concisely represented and displayed
providing an enhanced user interface".
Other application areas suitable for Hitachi’s wide
format TFT display modules include personal entertainment,
gaming, building management, industrial PC, marine
and automotive applications.
