New Optrex 10.4 - Inch VGA TFT LCD Offers Expanded Display Features for Test, Measurement, & Diagnostic Applications
Plymouth, MI, August 2002 - Optrex America has introduced a rugged new 10.4-inch diagonal digital TFT LCD module designed for non-PC applications requiring high luminance, high contrast, wide viewing angle and durability. New features include user-selectable reverse scan and both 3.3V & 5.0V input voltage.
The new module (Optrex P/N T-51513D104U-FW-A-AB) offers best-in-class front of screen performance, displaying 260K colors with high color saturation. It has a luminance of 400 nits in a 640 x 480 dot pixel display format, with a contrast ratio of 300:1 and a wide viewing angle of 120°.
It includes a TFT (thin film transistor) LCD panel, driver ICs, control circuit and 2 field-replaceable CCF backlighting lamps. It accepts both 3.3V and 5.0V input voltage, and offers customer-selectable 12 o'clock (normal scan) or 6 o'clock (reverse scan) viewing angles in a single module (it is a mechanical drop-in replacement for two existing Optrex 10.4-inch VGA TFT LCDs - P/N AA104VB04 and P/N AA104VB02).
Designed to perform in rugged, non-PC industrial applications, the T-51513 series 10.4-inch VGA TFT LCD can handle 150-G shock and 1-G vibration levels, and operates reliably over a temperature range of 0°C to 50° C. The two CCF lamps that backlight the LCD have an estimated life of 50,000 hours each.
Applications for which the new 10.4-inch TFT LCD provides a high-performance, cost-effective display include test & measurement and diagnostic equipment, industrial control equipment, kiosks, POS displays, ATMs and amusement/entertainment systems.
Pricing for P/N T-51513D104U-FW-A-AB is $320 in sample quantities. Samples are now available, with mass production scheduled for 4Q02. For additional details, contact Optrex America.
