Datasheet

Industrial LCD manufacturer KOE has announced the introduction of an 8.0" Rugged+ TFT display module. The TX20D203VM0BAA features WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, a 15:9 wide aspect ratio, extended operating temperature range and IPS (in-plane switching) technology which provides exceptional image quality when viewed at any viewing angle.

The Rugged+ 8.0" display is designed for use in high reliability industrial, medical, marine, automotive and aerospace applications where consistent and guaranteed operation under extreme temperature, mechanical shock and vibration are a necessity. KOE's Rugged+ display modules derive their optical and environmental characteristics from the exacting standards used in automotive specification display modules

For dedicated human-machine interface applications, IPS display technology delivers exceptional colour saturation and image stability, high contrast and deep black levels with 176° wide viewing angles (vertical and horizontal). The 8.0-inch display features a contrast ratio of 700:1 and a white LED backlight with a brightness of 550cd/m² and a specified 70K hour half-brightness lifetime. These features ensure that display images are bright, colourful and concise.

Jason Tsai, Marketing Manager, KOE, said, "The new 8.0" display uses IPS technology, which delivers excellent optical performance with wide viewing angles and highly consistent colour reproduction. KOE's Rugged+ displays have been purposefully developed to have robust mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics that are highly resistant to shock, vibration, electro-static discharge and temperature variation."

The 20-pin LVDS data interface supports 8-bit RGB which enables a colour palette of up to 16.7M colours. The 8.0-inch display module has mechanical outline dimensions are 189.5x119.4x11.6mm and an active display area of 174x104.4mm. An operating temperature range of -30 to +85°C and storage temperature range of -40 to +90°C is supported. The display module weighs 270g.

KOE's Rugged+ TFT display modules are suitable for many varied applications including aerospace, industrial automation, in-vehicle, marine, medical, point-of-sale, process control and signage. The new 8.0-inch Rugged+ TX20D203VM0BAA TFT display module is available immediately from KOE's sales channel distribution partners.
