Sunrise shines bright and clear with latest high contrast 15-inch digital LCD

New LCD panel by NEC combines high brightness with wide viewing angles

Dedicated NEC distributor Sunrise Electronics has just introduced a new high brightness 15-inch digital LCD module in its extensive range of colour TFT panels from NEC. Developed for use in industrial PC monitors, engineering workstations or as monitors in process control, this new panel combines high brightness and very high contrast with wide viewing angles and an industry standard interface.

NEC’s NL10276BC30-18 is a 38cm (15 inch) XGA panel that gives 1024 x 768 pixel resolution and can display a full colour image with up to 16,777,216 (16 million) colours simultaneously. It has a fast response time (Ton + Toff) of 18ms (typ), a high contrast ratio of 500:1 and supports very wide viewing angles of 80° from the normal, both left to right, 80° up and 60° down. Four built in long-life cold cathode fluorescent lamps provide direct backlighting with a very high brightness of 500 candelas per metre squared (cd/m2). High brightness is particularly important to displays used in applications like control systems or portable monitors where ambient lighting conditions may vary.

Ideal for developers building their own driver systems, the NL10276BC30-18 uses the industry standard LVDS interface (6-bit + 2-bit FRC). It will operate over the wide temperature range of -10ºC to + 70ºC and is suitable for a wide range of applications such as industrial PC systems, display terminals and monitors. Sunrise can provide design in support and advice on interface modules.

Sunrise also offers an extensive range of NEC active-matrix thin film technology (TFT) flat panel displays and plasma display panels. These products address a wide range of markets -- including mobile computing, desktop CRT replacement, factory automation, financial trading terminals, medical instrumentation, information displays and kiosks as well as in-flight entertainment and multimedia projection systems.
