6H graphic display is scratch resistant
A graphic display, the eDIPTFT70-ATC from Electronic Assembly, has been released. The TFT touch panel display features an extensive set of intelligent display functions, making it suitable for MCU system architectures. Other features include a bright, high-contrast screen and an attactive appearance.
The display has a 7" screen, 800x480px resolution and an optional capacitive touch panel. The extremely bright, high-contrast screen is easy to read even in bright sunshine, making it suitable for parking ticket vending machines and information booths.
The 6H surface is scratch resistant and dirt repellent, guaranteeing excellent long-term optical performance. The display retains its appearance even when strong cleaning agents are used, for example on the production floor or in machine rooms. The display can be easily mounted behind a protective glass panel up to 4mm thick, which acts as a deterrent to vandalism. It has a high-grade capacitive touch panel which reacts even when the user is wearing gloves.
The display copes well with multi-touch action. The high-precision sensor function ensures that user commands are executed correctly. The screen reacts to user input with 80 different messages, change of output voltage level or data sent over the on-board RS‑232, SPI or I²C ports.
Using the two analogue inputs, simple data acquisition tasks can be programmed in next to no time. Fonts, images, animations and macros can be stored in the 8MB on-board FLASH memory. The display has access to eight pre-defined, adaptable fonts and TrueType fonts can also be imported.
