Our partner Powertip is having a busy start to 2010, as well as their new 3.5″ TFT LCD with Capacitive touch they are also releasing a 4.3″ WQVGA version once again utilizing the capacitive touch technology. The 4.3″ TFT has proven to be a very popular size and format across the industry with many industrial OEM  manufacturers standardizing on this size display. Now with the addition of the capacitive touch version we believe more applications will look at this size for new product development.

Our range of compact TFT LCD video and VGA kits has further been enhanced by the release of our 5.0″ VGA resolution version. The complete kit includes the 5.0″ VGA TFT, a compact VGA driver board plus OSD setup board and a mounting frame for securing the board and display together and to provide a simple mechanical mounting solution.

The TFT LCD has a built-in LED backlight providing a hi-bright 450 cd/m2 and also offers an excellent contrast ratio for such a small display of 400:1. The VGA board fits snugly behind the display and is  provided with a remote mounted 6 button OSD menu board which allows the user to adjust the display’s image quality etc.  The VGA board is powered by a single 12 VDC supply which in-turn provides the voltage for the display including the LED backlight.

Field Sequential LCD’s use a fairly new technology developed by the joint Japanese/Chinese company - Santech Display Co. who own a number of key patents. We have reached an agreement with them to promote these products here in the UK and Ireland initially and feel that there are many possible applications across a wide range of industries. Current examples include indicator panels for the “white goods” industry - cookers, washing machines and fridge freezers etc. through to the latest digital sign boards at Narita (Tokyo) and Shenzhen (China) international airports.

Essentially, FS technology offers the simplest and least expensive way of obtaining a custom design colour LCD panel. The one time engineering/tooling charge is typically around $4000 (£2500). A fraction of the normal charge for a custom TFT module and a 1kpc production order is a very low MOQ  (we do not have to have a multi-thousand pc commitment, although we would surely welcome one if offered). One possible limitation is that each pixel only presents up to 8 colours (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, black and white), possibly not good enough for streaming video but perfect for many applications where 8 colours are enough.

Advantages are as follows:-

• High Contrast: >300:1
• Wide Temperature Range: -20 ~ +70 degC
• Fast switching Speeds: <4ms
• Wide Viewing Angle: >140 deg
• Low Unit Cost (no colour filter required)
• RGB LED Backlight
• Parallel or Serial Interface
• Low Power Consumption

We really believe that FS LCD’s offer a simple, low cost route to migrating from monochrome to colour displays in your next generation product.
