Display with on-board controller reduces design complexity and speeds time to market
Anders Electronics has launched a new 5.7-inch QVGA TFT-LCD display that helps designers
deliver improved user experience in a variety of applications, from medical devices and instrumentation to process control panels.
The integration of a controller device within the display module itself will reduce design complexity and speed time to market. The QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) module also includes an integral backlight.
The feature-rich Solomon SSD1926 on-board controller enables the LCD to display up to 262K colours and provides a 16-bit high-speed Intel 80 series bus interface. The amorphous silicon-based TFT display is tested and characterised for use within an extended -20°C to 70°C temperature range, and can achieve response times as good as 15ms, making it suitable for a wide variety of video user interface applications.
"Integrated controllers are an expected feature in smaller displays, but to date have rarely been offered in products as large as 5.7-inches," says Margaret Kato, head of product management at Anders Electronics. "Now Anders Electronics can offer users of larger displays the same time-to-market and simplicity benefits that are readily available for screen sizes of 3.5-inch displays and below."
With a viewing angle of 135° and typical contrast ratio of 250:1, the display provides high image quality. Brightness is up to 500cd/m2 and an anti-glare coating that further improves readability.
Designed for use with a 3.3V power supply, the display module measures 144.0mm x 104.6mm x 12.8mm. Its external interface is via a 26-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC connector.
