Lumex Introduces New Line Of Easy-To-Design-In LCDs With One-Chip LED Backlights



PALATINE, IL--Lumex Inc. is introducing a new line of super-twisted nematic (STN) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with low power drain built-in LED backlights, designed for easy integration into battery-operated equipment and systems. These integrated LCD/backlight modules are designed to operate from low-voltage power supplies, and their low power consumption and rugged construction makes them ideal for a wide range of hand-held, portable, or battery-operated systems.

The unique one-chip LED backlights on these LCDs are available in blue, white, green, or amber, with typical power consumption of only 10mA If at 3.5VDC. Unlike common fluorescent backlights, the Lumex backlights do not require complex power supplies and they generate no EMI or RFI noise. In addition, the Lumex units can be used over a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

The LCD modules are available in a number of versions including 10 character x 1 line, 10 character x 2 line, 16 character x 1 line, and 16 character x 2 line, plus a 122 x 32 graphic display version. All feature the one-chip LED backlight. The 16 x 2 character version is housed in a package whose footprint is only 84mm (3.31 inches) by 44mm (1.73 inches). Total thickness of the unit is less than 11mm (0.43 inches). Each character is formed by a 5 x 8 matrix.

Production quantities of standard units are available in 8 - 10 weeks. Semi-custom and full-custom units are also available. Pricing varies, depending on the model specified, options requested, and quantity ordered. For the standard 16 x 2 version, pricing is approximately $10.95 each in quantities of 1,000.
