CAMAS, Wash. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Today at the Society for Information Display's (SID's) Display Week 2009
conference in San Antonio, TX, Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas
(SMA) announced an expansion to its LED-backlit and touch screen display
product lines. Two new TFT-LCDs - one 5.0-inch panel with resistive
touch and one 7.0-inch panel - deliver LED backlighting rated at 50,000
hours of operation. Additionally, both panels feature built-in LED
drivers, saving engineers time, effort, and expense.
These two landscape-mode, low-reflection panels incorporate
high-performance color filters for increased brightness and wider color
gamut. The LEDs also deliver high color rendering and energy efficiency.
The crisp, vibrant images that result make both displays ideal for
multi-media applications.
"Sharp's years of experience in developing LCDs, combined with the
benefits of LED backlighting, continues to enable new horizons for
industrial design," said Dave Hagan, LCD Product Manager, SMA.
"Engineers can build display-based products that are longer-life and
more environmentally friendly, without having to deal with many of
yesterday's design challenges. This keeps development focused on
creating amazing visual experiences."
The 5.0-inch TFT-LCD Resistive Touch Panel (LQ050W1LA0A)
This new Sharp 5.0-inch landscape-mode panel incorporates a four-wire
resistive touch panel. Fine pixel pitch makes this panel ideal for
applications such as GPS and mapping, as well as instrumentation
applications like oscilloscopes. Graphics and text can be displayed on a
1024 x 3 x 600 dots panel with 262,144 colors using an LVDS (Low Voltage
Differential Signaling) interface that supplies +3.3V DC for TFT-LCD
panel driving and backlight operation.
