High-brightness backlight aids LCD readability

Hitachi has a new family of 5.7in quarter-VGA monochrome LCD modules.

Hitachi has a new family of 5.7in quarter-VGA monochrome LCD modules.

The family includes the transmissive SP14Q006, which provides excellent optical performance in indoor or low ambient light environments, and the transflective SP14Q006-T, a sunlight-readable display suitable for outdoor use.

The key feature of the new 320 x 240 display is the implementation a new high brightness, low power white LED backlight providing a brightness of 150cd/m2.

The 5.7in monochrome display also features the latest improvements in film STN technology to provide a high contrast "black on white" display image.

A wide-temperature-range liquid crystal fluid has been implemented to enable an operating temperature range of -20 to + 70C.

The new SP14Q006 display modules complement and offer full mechanical and electrical compatibility with Hitachi's existing monochrome quarter-VGA SP14Q00x family.

The module has been designed to provide a cost effective display solution for a wide range of applications.

These include epos, process control, instrumentation, information terminals and man-machine interfaces.

To assist engineers that are implementing complex man-machine interfaces, Hitachi has also developed the SP14Q006-ZZA and SP14Q006-TZA, which feature four-wire analogue resistive touchscreens.

All SP14Q006 display modules are now available in mass production quantities.
