Sharp Sets the Performance Standard with New 4.3-Inch Industrial-Grade Display
New high-brightness display for mobile and portable devices is one of the most feature-rich wide-aspect displays available
CAMAS, Wash. - April 25, 2007 - Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas has introduced a 4.3-inch industrial-grade LCD display designed for mobile and portable-use applications. The LQ043T1DG01 is a highly-integrated display with touch panel that will complement any handheld or portable device design. The display delivers superior performance in brightness and contrast, operates over a broad temperature range, and features a wide viewing angle; all while conserving power.
The display offers 16 million colors, a 16:9 aspect ratio, high brightness of 500 nits and a viewing cone of 120 degrees (H) x 100 degrees (V) in 480 (H) x 272 (V) pixels. The LQ043T1DG01 is an excellent fit for applications in challenging industrial and handheld environments and high ambient light conditions. Its high level of integration means a lower parts count. Typical applications include PDAs, portable medical equipment, GPS/navigation, home automation control, test and measurement equipment, fish finders, and security systems.
"This display reinforces Sharp's technological leadership and provides designers with a great choice when choosing a display for demanding applications," stated Sriram Peruvemba, Senior Manager, Product Marketing at Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas. "It raises the standard in 4.3-inch display performance."
As an industrial performance part, the LQ043T1DG01 is designed and tested to meet demanding environments by providing wide operating temperatures, high brightness, and a wide viewing angle. The display features an integrated touch panel and a standard TFT interface (no ASIC or GSIC required). The display is backed by Sharp's highly-recognized quality service and support.
Key features of the 4.3-inch display include:
o Wide temperature range (-10 to +70 degrees C)
o High brightness (500 nits)
o Wide viewing angle (degrees) (120 (H) x 100 (V))
o Integrated interface
o Touch panel
"The 4.3-inch display is tested to the full range of its specifications so Sharp can ensure that it operates properly to the edges of those specifications," explained Peruvemba, "This display truly rises above the current class of commodity-grade parts and provides an industry-leading solution."
