The Seiko Instruments 2000/2001 CMOS IC Catalogue is available now on CD-ROM.
The RA43Z can be used in portable handheld devices such as cellular phones, two-way pagers and small test and measurement units.
"We are always looking at ways to conserve battery power", says Mike McLachlan, associate marketing manager for Seiko Instruments.
"The RA43Z uses the same amount of power as a black-and-white LCD of similar size, resolution and pixel configuration.
Therefore, it won't drain the battery any more than the current displays in cell phones".
Seiko's colour chip-on-flex LCD has 4096 colours, an active area of 31.2 x 39.0mm, a viewing area of 33.3 x 43.0mm, and a white LED backlight.
It uses a ZIF connector to connect to the data terminal.
Pricing for the RA43Z begins at $45 (USA) in 1K quantities.
