University of Cambridge spin-out Porotech has built what is said is the world’s first micro-display that emits red natively from indium gallium nitride – meaning that no phosphors are involved. The 960 x 540 display measures 14mm (0.55in) across the diagonal. “Until now, it has only been possible to produce blue and green micro-displays using GaN-based light-emitting devices – with red emission ...

Microchip is introducing touchscreen controllers certified to IEC/UL 60730 Class B, that will work on displays over 10in across. Called MXT448UD-HA and MXT640UD-HA (32 x 20 touch array) , they are also compliant with IEC61000-4-6 Class A for conducted noise immunity up to 10Vrms (level three for industrial use). “This enables products with a touch screen interface to function in very ...

Canadian thin-film display company Ynvisible Interactive and the UK-based printed electronics company PragmatIC Semiconductor are to develop integrated flexible display modules. The non-binding technology partnership and supply agreement will last for three years, with services and deliverables of up to $2m. ‍The reflective displays are very thin and take little power, needing only a pulse every few minutes to prevent ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) has introduced a 13.3in TFT display module for industrial use. Made by Tianma, the P1330FHF1MA00 is an HD display 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio) with in-plane switching. “Tianma P-series display modules have been designed and developed to deliver exceptional optical performance and meet the requirements of the industrial and medical display markets and applications ...

Display Technology has announced a sensor that can detect a frozen display screen. Called IF444 Frozen screen sensor, it requires a small sensing patch to be stuck to the front of a screen in a corner, where it monitors a group of blinking pixels. The sensor does not work on its own, but needs to be used with firmware in ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) of Kent has introduced an 8in TFT display module from industrial display manufacturer Tianma. Part of Tianma’s professional (‘P’) series, P0800WVF1MA00 features WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, 15:9 aspect ratio and -30°C to +80°C operating range. “The Tianma P-series display line-up is designed for use in a wide range of human-machine interface applications where guaranteed, long-term operation ...

Displays used in defence and avionic installations have their own set of challenging electrical and environmental demands because they are expected to have quiet switching signatures while also conforming to size, weight and power (SWaP) criteria and the ability to operate reliably in harsh environments. Distributor Display Technology has a military portfolio which offers a range of displays and embedded ...

Data Modul is to stock ruggedised sunlight-readable TFT LCDs from Toppan, using VA technology to keep contrast high. “Thanks to the optimised mechanical design and the use of particularly robust components, the Rugged Series meets requirements ranging from extended temperature range to vibration resistance,” according to Data Modul. “They impress with their Blanview technology, which gives them excellent readability, even ...

TFT displays can be integrated into a variety of installations, in industrial and commercial settings. Assemblies are typically made up of a touch panel or cover lens and the display, with an air gap between the two. When an external light source (natural sunlight or ambient lighting) enters the front of the assembly, the light passes through the touch panel ...

Suitable for indoor and harsh environments as well as more unusual designs for indoor displays, the FLR-0959MLV0PCFA1  is a series of round displays by FutureLabs which are now available from Relec Electronics. The 9.5-inch TFT and PCAP (projected capacitive) displays have an active display area of 240mm. Resolution is 1540 x 1540 with 1000 CD/M2 brightness. They can be used in ...
