| Sharp Unveils 12.1 Inch SVGA and 15.0 Inch XGA LCDs Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas has introduced two new Advanced Super View TFT-LCDs (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) for industrial, gaming, medical, and other applications. These new LCDs push performance levels in resolution and luminance while maintaining drop-in replacement for current Sharp designs. These versatile LCD modules expand SHARP's existing product suite and offer engineering customers two more size and technology options within its broad range of high-quality, cost-effective TFT-LCD solutions. Sharp's new flat-panel LCD displays open up a greater variety of industry sectors beyond factory automation and control systems including finance, medical and electronic signage - even gaming. Applications like these demand greater visual performance combined with higher durability. Sharp developed the 12.1 inch (LQ121S1LW01) and 15.0 inch (LQ150X1LW72) models to address specific design considerations that are a priority for designers of industrial applications. Higher resolutions and greater luminance output meet the growing need for viewability in a wide range of indoor and outdoor settings and lighting conditions. Sharp's 12.1 inch module can display 262.000 colors and 250 nits of brightness; the 15.0 inch module can display an amazing 16 million colors and 350 nits of brightness. Both displays incorporate Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View technology boasting a 170-degree symmetrical viewing cone. This super-wide viewing cone allows off-axis perception of the image without color shifting or loss of detail. These Advanced Super View displays have fast response times for flicker-free screens; and because the LCDs are normally black, users perceive much crisper, clearer images. Engineers can quickly and easily upgrade to a current-generation display without re-designing the application. Sharp's new displays feature mountings, connectors, and pinouts identical to previous versions for drop-in replacement. These new displays are also well suited for optical enhancement by third party integrators. The displays' improved durability and field-replaceable backlights with an MTBF of 50.000 hours, make them a suited choice for a variety of applications. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
