AP Technologies announces the global launch of Lumex, Inc.’s InfoVue EBTN (Enhanced Background Twisted Nematic) family of custom negative image TN LCD technology. InfoVue EBTN LCDs provide significant performance and cost savings benefits including contrast up to 6x higher than standard TN LCDs, technology costs up to 40% lower, and energy requirements up to 50% lower than other technologies.

The RoHS compliant InfoVue EBTN LCDs are available in sizes ranging from 1.0 to 5 inches squared and are compatible with standard LCD drivers and is ideal for many applications:

● industrial control device technology (gas pumps, flow meters, control panels, test chambers)

● medical device technology (portable heart monitors, gas analysis monitors, portable defibrillators’, and disposable glucometers)

● communications equipment (routers, switches and gateways)

● appliance displays (displays on ovens, microwaves, refrigerators and dishwashers)

“The new proprietary masking technology used between the two glass panels is very effective at blocking light and allows the InfoVue EBTN to provide the highest contrast TN negative image available in the LCD market today,” explained Yasoob Ahmed, Display Technology Manager. “The resulting sharp, high contrast negative image promotes brand image and ensures easy and accurate display viewing.”

InfoVue EBTN LCDs provide key performance benefits compared to traditional LCD technology. InfoVue EBTN LCDs offer a contrast ration of 300 to 1, compared to traditional LCDs which offer a contrast ration of 50 to 1. Sharp, crisp negative images can be displayed using any color backlight.

InfoVue EBTN LCDs generate significant cost savings compared to technologies such as VFDs (Vacuum Florescent Displays) as they can cost up to 40% less and have 50% lower energy consumption.
