The EA DIP180B-5NLWTP display module from Electronic Assembly was designed to be compatible with many applications that range from those found in the industrial control to the medical sectors. When equipped with an analog-resistive touch panel, applications involving user guidance and the display of information can be combined in a single unit.

The EA DIP180B-5NLWTP is a full-graphic display with a resolution of 180 x 32 pixels; alphanumeric characters are displayed as graphics. Three integrated controllers of type PT6520 are used to control the left, center and right sections of the display. A white LED backlight ensures crystal-clear display of information and exceptional readability.

The touch panel is linked to an external touch pad controller, or a controller with analog inputs. The panel operates similarly to that of a potentiometer. When a specific voltage is applied to the Top-Bottom input of the controller, a voltage proportionate to the Y-position of the point of contact is set at the Left-Right signal pins. The position of the point of contact in the X-axis is determined in the same way and a voltage is applied to the Left-Right pins. The output voltage that is then set at the Top-Bottom pins indicates the horizontal position of the point of contact.

The module provides a high level of contrast and fast response times thanks to the use of an LCD supertwist display. The modules feature an automatic temperature compensation facility, which eliminates the need to adjust the contrast during operation. The display is certified for operation between -20 and +70 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for many applications in industrial and medical environments. With outer dimensions measuring just 102 x 27 mm and a monitor window spanning 88 x 19 mm, the display is very compact. The module can be soldered directly to the circuit board, thus eliminating the need for complex assembly using mechanical components.

Electronic Assembly provides consistent quality at the highest level thanks to in-house manufacturing processes. The company also safeguards long-term availability in line with its customer-oriented corporate philosophy, which is why even small orders of one or more units can be accommodated. Highly skilled support technicians are available to assist customers with any technical problems they may encounter. With such an optimal balance of quality and service, Electronic Assembly also caters to the medical sector and its demanding applications.
