Premium displays provide exceptional performance in harsh environments
13. 10. 2009
Many embedded electronics systems require a graphical user interface capable of
displaying bright, vivid display images and information. For over 35 years Hitachi
have been developing and supplying high quality, high performance LCD display modules.
Two new product introductions from Hitachi's Display Products Group (DPG) are the
compact 7.0" and 8.0" wide aspect ratio TFT display modules featuring many of Hitachi's
latest display technology innovations. The new 7.0" TX18D35VM0AAA and 8.0" TX20D26VM0AAA
feature the latest evolutions of Hitachi's renowned In-Plane-Switching technology
IPS-Pro, which provides a stable colour image from any viewing angle, excellent
colour saturation and a very high contrast ratio. The new TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA
support a 15:9 wide aspect ratio, a display resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (WVGA)
which enable flexible graphical user interfaces to be designed for many different
application environments. Challenging industrial environments are ably supported
with a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.
Demand for wide viewing angle and wide field of vision displays has increased in
many embedded systems and equipment designs. Many graphical user interfaces now
require highly consistent optical performance and accurate image reproduction. Contrast
and colour characteristics must be maintained over a wide range of viewing angles
and positions. When viewed from an acute angle, a conventional TFT display will
exhibit a loss of brightness and display image colours become inverted. Hitachi's
IPS-Pro TFT technology as implemented in the TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA display
modules overcome the limitations of conventional TFT display technology. Additionally
the new 7.0" and 8.0" Hitachi IPS-Pro displays offer a very effective 'cost versus
performance' display solution when compared with traditional TN (twisted nematic)
TFT display modules.
The new transmissive TFT display modules also continue Hitachi's implementation
of rugged and reliable LED backlighting in medium size TFT display modules. The
high brightness LED backlights provide excellent image uniformity and impressive
600:1 contrast ratio whilst delivering a brightness of 600cd/m2 and a lifetime of
70K hours.
The TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA implement an industry standard 6-bit RGB CMOS
data interface which enables a colour palette of up to 262K colours to be employed.
The new display modules feature compact mechanical dimensions of 165.0mm (w) x 104.0mm
(h) x 12.8mm (d) and 190.0mm (w) x 120.0mm (h) x 12.8mm (d) respectively.
Touch panel versions of the displays, the 7.0" TX18D35VM0APA and 8.0" TX20D26VM0APA,
are also available making these four new display modules ideal for many embedded
applications such as in-flight entertainment, media terminals, navigation systems,
home automation and industrial user interfaces. The new TX18D35 and TX20D26 display
modules are supplied via Hitachi Display Products Group distribution partners and
are available across Europe immediately.
