Data Modul is aiming at industrial displays from 12.1 to 23.8in with a projected capacitive (PCap) touch controller PCB built around Microchip’s TD series of touch controller chips. The mXT2952TD touch controller board is compatible with Data Module’s earlier mXT2952T2, but includes differential mutual sensing to increase signal-to-noise ratio. “Neither thick gloves up to 5mm nor cover glasses up to 10mm ...

Ynvisible has won a design-in for its electro-chromic displays – thin flexible displays that change colour through low power ionic transfer. The company teamed up with SpotSee to create a 91 x 59mm calibrated temperature indication label for cold-chain use: temperature-controlled shipment and storage of goods such as blood bags, high-end foods, biomaterials and medicines. “With the TempSafe Electrocard, we now expand ...

Epson is aiming at vehicle instrument clusters with a greyscale segment LCD driver for up to 368 segments. “The amount of information that needs to be shown on instrumental cluster displays is increasing as vehicles gain additional features and functions,” according to the company. “On the other hand, larger displays with higher definitions increase costs. For this reason, there has been an increase, ...

Canadian company Ynvisible is offering custom electrochromic displays on thin flexible substrates. This is a new spin on an existing technology, characterised by low power consumption and image retention for tens of minutes after power is removed. It works by driving ions in and out of the visible surface to change its colour, using a low-voltage electric field. In this ...
