TFT modules handle automotive extremes
Sharp Microelectronics Europe is sampling the two latest additions to its range of LCD modules - the 6.5in LQ065T9DZ01 and the 8.8in LQ088H9DZ01 TFT displays.
Sharp Microelectronics Europe is sampling the two latest additions to its range of LCD modules - the 6.5in LQ065T9DZ01 and the 8.8in LQ088H9DZ01 TFT displays Equipped with Sharp developments such as Super Mobile Technology, they guarantee a constantly high image quality and a wide viewing angle despite changing brightness levels in the environment

Sharp's next-generation high-performance 32bit smart card incorporates 1Mbyte of Flash memory.
Faster access for high-density Flash
Sharp Microelectronics Europe reckons its latest high-speed 128Mbit Flash memory features the fastest access time available to date.
In addition, the new displays are extremely temperature resistant.
These qualities make the TFTs ideal for use in automotive applications such as navigation and entertainment systems, as well as in many industrial environments.
Super Mobile Technology combines the advantages of a high reflection TFT with the performance of a backlit transmissive TFT.
This means that these transflective LCDs always guarantee good display readability.
A high-quality antireflection coating also minimises disturbing reflections on the surface of the glass.
Even if the navigation display is viewed from the side by the driver and passenger, the new displays deliver sharp images.
The Mobile ASV Technology increases the viewing angle to up to 160 degrees, without the image reversing into a negative image.
The new TFTs offer a "wide-screen" picture format of 16:9 or 8:3 with (400 x RBG) x 240 or (640 x RGB) x 240 pixels and have a 262,144 colour display.
The 6.5 and 8.8in TFTs are extremely resistant to heat and cold.
A vehicle that stands for a long time in strong direct sunlight can heat up to 70C, but that is no problem for the new displays.
In the off mode they can withstand temperatures from -40 to +85C.
The working temperature range lies between -30 and +85C.
This is also an advantage in the industrial sector, where displays are often exposed to heat.
Thanks to the "self-heating backlights", the new TFTs rapidly reach their maximum brightness after a "cold start" at temperatures below 0C.
The new modules are especially insensitive to jolts and vibrations thanks to the chip-on-glass technology - another important aspect for the trouble-free use of TFTs in automobiles or in mobile industrial machines.
Samples of the new 6.5 and 8.8in TFT displays LQ065T9DZ01 and LQ088H9DZ01 are available immediately for the European market.
