SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (August 19, 2002) - NKK Switches, a leader in the design and manufacture of electromechanical switches, introduces the small STN LCD module complementing the fully programmable IS Series SMARTSWITCH(TM).

The new liquid crystal display provides a wide, high-contrast viewing area of 13.9 X 10.6 mm with a 36 X 24 pixel resolution to maximize clarity. As one of the industry's smallest dot matrix LCD displays, NKK Switches' LCD module ideally suits compact electronic devices that require the display of graphics, text or moving images in tight-fitting locations.

Moreover, NKK Switches' LCD module offers more functionality than a 7-segment display. It is well suited for use in 1 U rack mount units and in applications where 7-segment displays and LED matrices do not provide enough information.
