TFT modules cut industrial display costs
TFT LCDs operate from -20 to +70C, making them suitable for industrial applications, but without the price premium typically associated with extended temperature operation.
Anders Electronics has a new range of TFT LCDs for instrumentation, process control, automation, portable measurement and other price-sensitive industrial applications The 3.5, 5 and 5.7in modules all operate from -20 to +70C, making them suitable for a broad range of industrial applications, but without the price premium typically associated with extended temperature operation

Anders Electronics will be announcing an extension to its UMR (User Machine Relationship) range of intelligent colour display platforms at Electronica.
Display module has extended temperature range
A 7in WVGA TFT display module from Anders Electronics combines excellent visual characteristics with an extended operating temperature range of -30C to +85dC.
The new 3.5in module offers LED backlighting with a brightness rating of 250cd/m2, the 5.0in module has 350cd/m2 and the 5.7in technology uses a long-life CCFL backlight to deliver over 500cd/m2.
All the displays feature conventional digital RGB plus timing-signal interfaces for easy integration into embedded or PC-based industrial applications.
Each model also comes with the option of a resistive touchscreen, providing an off the shelf solution capable of supporting feature-rich, "soft" and highly integrated user interfaces.
The 3.5in QVGA display has 8bit colour depth for vivid and accurate image reproduction.
Long-life and extended life LED backlight options help to minimise ongoing maintenance by providing operating life to half brightness of 20,000 and 40,000 hours, respectively; many similar displays offer 10,000 to 20,000 hours by comparison.
The 5.7in QVGA module measures 144 x 104mm, a format already widely used in industrial control and embedded computing applications.
This allows replacement using a lower-cost display with little mechanical redesign or modification, reducing time, expense and engineering effort.
The new 5in industrial TFT model in 320 x 234 pixel resolution features a 6bit colour depth and offers a hard coated, antiglare surface treatment as well as compact overall dimensions of 118.0 x 91.5mm.
The display will readily fit inside DIN-format instrument housings, allowing room for additional front-panel controls, providing extra flexibility for designers looking to integrate a 5.0in display into a wide range of industrial and professional instruments.
