SUNRISE CLEARS THE VIEW WITH NEW 15-inch NLT LCD

Latest LCD panel by NEC combines high brightness with wide viewing angles and transflective technology.

Adding further applications flexibility to its range of NEC LCD modules, dedicated distributor Sunrise Electronics has just introduced a new 15-inch digital LCD panel featuring NLT technology for readability in direct sunlight and an anti-reflective coating for enhanced viewing under a wide range of ambient lighting conditions. 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 digital interface.

NEC’s NL10276BC30-18C 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 edge lighting with a very high brightness of 600 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 NL10276BC30-18C 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 also provide design in support and advice on interface modules. The range of NEC active-matrix thin film technology (TFT) flat panel displays for industrial applications is extensive. These products address a wide range of markets -- including factory automation, medical instrumentation, information displays and kiosks as well as in-flight entertainment systems.

Sunrise Electronics is a direct ship NEC distributor. It is the only dedicated franchised distributor in the UK electronics market, and is providing a high level of design-in support to customers for the whole range of NEC Semiconductor products, including colour LCD, ASIC as well as microprocessors, microcontrollers and memory products.
