SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL AT HIGH RESOLUTION WITH NEW SUNRISE 8.4inch PANEL

LVDS interface and backward compatible form factor suit wide range of applications

Dedicated NEC distributor Sunrise Electronics has just added a new small format high resolution display to its extensive range of colour TFT modules from NEC.  The new model has a compatible form factor with existing displays in the same screen size, allowing developers to enhance system performance or upgrade equipment without changing mechanical design.

NEC’s new 8.4-inch NL10276BC16-01 is a high resolution (XGA) panel with an Ultra-wide viewing angle of 85º from the normal in all directions. It offers the industry standard resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels in up to 16 million (16,777,216) colours with a fast response time of 25ms. This makes it suitable for applications demanding superior picture quality, such as control panel applications or information systems.

This new panel has a high brightness of 300 candelas per metre squared (cd/m2). Four high efficiency cold-cathode fluorescent lamps are used to ensure even backlighting and can be replaced if needed. Its high contrast ratio of 300:1 makes it suitable for a wide range of ambient lighting conditions.

The NL10276BC16-01 uses the industry standard LVDS digital interface, and will accept 8-bit or 6-bit RGB data plus dot clock and data enable signals. Scan direction is reversible.

Operating over the temperature range of 0 to +65º C, these panels are suitable for a wide range of applications such as monitors in process control and display terminals for control or information systems.

Sunrise can also provide design-in support and advice on interface modules for all the display panels it offers. The extensive range of NEC active-matrix thin film technology (TFT) flat panel displays for industrial applications ranges from 5.5-inch to 12.1-inch formats. These products address a wide range of markets -- including factory automation, medical instrumentation, information displays and kiosks as well as in-flight entertainment systems.
