Industrial TFT-LCDs from Anders Electronics

The new 3.5-inch module offers LED backlighting with a brightness rating of 250cd/m2, the 5.0” module has 350 cd/m2 while the 5.7-inch technology uses a long-life CCFL backlight to deliver over 500 cd/m2.

All of the displays feature conventional digital RGB plus timing-signal interfaces for easy integration into embedded or PC-based industrial applications. Each model also comes with the option of a resistive touchscreen, providing an off the shelf solution capable of supporting feature-rich, “soft” and highly integrated user interfaces.

The 3.5-inch QVGA display has 8-bit colour depth for vivid and accurate image reproduction.

Long-life and extended life LED backlight options help to minimise ongoing maintenance by providing operating life to half brightness of 20,000 and 40,000 hours respectively – many similar displays offer 10,000 to 20,000 hours by comparison.

The 5.7-inch QVGA module measures 144mm x 104mm, a format already widely used in industrial control and embedded computing applications.

This allows replacement using a lower-cost display with little mechanical redesign or modification, reducing time, expense and engineering effort.

The new 5-inch industrial TFT model in 320 x 234 pixels resolution features a 6-bit colour depth and offers a hard coated, anti-glare surface treatment as well as compact overall dimensions of 118.0mm x 91.5mm.

The display will readily fit inside DIN-format instrument housings, allowing room for additional front-panel controls, providing extra flexibility for designers looking to integrate a 5.0-inch display into a wide range of industrial and professional instruments.
