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.
Also 16 million colours and a 300:1 contrast ratio substantially contribute to the high image quality of the two new displays.
In addition, the LQ043T1DG01 integrates a touch functionality facilitating the design of interactive industrial handhelds.
Target applications for both displays are for example portable medical equipment, handheld barcode and RFID readers, GPS/navigation, home automation control, test and measurement equipment as well as security systems.
"With 16:9 aspect ratio of the new TFTs Sharp meets the increasing demand of different industries for handhelds", explains Sven Stegemann, from the LCD Product Marketing at Sharp Microelectronics Europe.
"Wide screen format panels offer the advantage actually displaying larger amounts of data, eg on oscilloscopes or other test and measurement devices".
"Furthermore, the additional display area can be used for dynamic operating menus and therefore improved ergonomics".
High integration reducing the part count and intensive testing against the demanding industrial specifications ensure easy design-in as well as high quality and reliability.
In this way Sharp is directly supporting partners to shorten time to market cycles and reduce development cost.
The LQ043T1DG01 and the LQ043T1DG02 are the latest members of Sharp's small sised TFT LCD line-up for industrial portable applications.
It comprises 15 different RoHS compliant displays ranging from 2.2 to 4.3in screen sise.
Various models are equipped with different technologies, such as transflective types, so Sharp can offer suitable display solutions for virtually every industrial handheld device.
Engineering samples of the LQ043T1DG01 and the LQ043T1DG02 are available through Sharp sales offices and distributors throughout Europe.
