Quarter-VGA module promises long life

2.2in TFT display module is designed for use in a wide range of applications requiring high performance displays.

Hitachi Display Products Group has launched its new 2.2in TFT LCD module, the TX06D57VM0AAA, for use in a wide range of applications requiring high performance displays.

In order to satisfy the long term product planning requirements of customers incorporating the display into products, Hitachi is guaranteeing product availability for this module for at least three years.

Typical product applications would include remote entry systems, industrial test and measurement, medical, EPOS and other handheld mobile devices.

Featuring Hitachi's advanced in-plane switching (IPS) technology the new module offers viewing angles of up to 170 degrees in any direction ensuring a bright and clear image in all usage conditions.

Typical performance figures for the 240 x 320 pixel resolution, quarter-VGA screen include a brightness of 220cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 250:1.

"The extremely wide 170 degree viewing cone of the TX06D57VM0AAA affords much greater flexibility to both product design engineers and end-users across a wide range of application areas".

"Product designers looking for stability and continuous supply through a long manufacturing lifecycle are also secure in the knowledge that Hitachi is guaranteeing that this product will be available in the market for a minimum of three years", comments Steve Donohoe, Technical Manager for Hitachi Display Products Group.

The active matrix TFT module produces clear, crisp images and graphics and operates in a transmissive mode, with a colour palette of up to 256K colours.

Despite a compact size of 39.8 x 56.1 x 2.7mm and a weight of just 12.6g, the high performance TX06D57VM0AAA offers industrial levels of quality and operates in a broad temperature range from -20 to +70C.

From a design perspective the LED backlight, comprising four LEDs connected in serial, eliminates the need for a high voltage inverter.

The TX06D57VM0AAA is supplied through Hitachi Display Product Group's distribution partners.

It is available to order across Europe immediately.
