Quarter-VGA module shines in the sun

Sunlight-readable 5.7in QVTA TFT module offers improved contrast, colour saturation and response time over CSTN products.

Phoenix Display International (PDI) has developed a new line of sunlight-readable 5.7in TFTs with QVGA (320 x 240) resolution.

The sunlight-readable 5.7in QVTA TFT module offers improved contrast, colour saturation and response time over CSTN products.

PDI also offers the 5.7in QVGA as a standard transmissive module with or without a touchscreen.

PDI achieves sunlight-readable performance by manufacturing the TFT cell using high aperture panel technology, high transmittance colour filters, and a novel antireflective polariser scheme.

The result is a clear and extremely bright display that is ideal for high ambient light or outdoor, high brightness applications.

PDI's sunlight-readable model of the 5.7in QVGA TFT (PDI-T320240SR-5.7) is illuminated with high intensity white LEDs and offers brightness of 300cd/m2 (typical).

The unit features a contrast ratio is 400:1 and a response time of 15ms.

This model also uses the HX8218A (source) and HX8615A (gate) drivers from Himax.

In 1000-unit quantities, Phoenix Display offers the 5.7in QVGA transmissive at US $62.50 each, the transmissive with touch model at $71.85 each, and the sunlight-readable model at $87.25 each.
