All colors of the RGB spectrum can be used as background illumination modules for the LCD displays of ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY's DOG line. This line of products for industrial applications encompasses five graphic displays and three text displays, which can be combined with up to seven background illumination modules. An RGB background illumination module makes it possible to set any shade of color (including white) by mixing the primary colors red, green and blue.

The five graphic displays of the DOG line offer a resolution of 102 x 64 to 160 x 104 pixels. The three text displays can show two or three lines of text at 16 characters per line, or a single line with up to 8 characters. An especially unique feature of this product line is that the display is functionally separated from the background illumination module used. Display and illumination modules can be combined in a variety of ways to accommodate almost every design requirement. Modules are also available in white, yellow/green, blue, red, and amber in addition to the RGB illumination module and its rainbow of colors offered.

Communication with the outside world takes place via a fast SPI interface with up to 20 MHz of processing speed. Windows compatible simulation software that can be downloaded from the Web site free of charge allows users to conveniently create and test how information should be displayed. A test board is also available for connecting to the USB port of a PC, and additional character sets are offered on a data medium, Analog touch panels can likewise be ordered for the graphic displays.

Designed to be installed in all types of machine, device and system, the displays are very flat and are not thicker than 6.5 millimeters with the illumination unit or 2 millimeters without. The display units can also be used in battery-powered and mobile devices thanks to their low energy consumption. A further highlight of the DOG displays is the ease with which they are integrated in the production process, since they can be soldered directly to the circuit board without any additional assembly.

The DOG displays come with a single voltage source of 3.3 V, while the text displays do run with 3.3V or 5 V source. Capable of operating from -20 °C to +70 °C, the display modules can be used in the majority of industrial application environments. Large and small orders of 1 or more units can be placed for the DOG series from ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY.
