Sharp Introduces High-Resolution 6.4-inch LCD for Industrial Applications
Sharp's newest display expands product lineup, and supports growing trend toward use of VGA resolution in industrial markets
Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas announced its high-resolution 6.4-inch Transmissive TFT-LCD module. This new LCD meets the performance needs of design engineers in North America integrating color VGA displays -- or upgrading existing displays -- into their industrial applications. With this new product, Sharp expands its existing product lineup, and offers engineers another option in its wide range of high-quality, cost-effective TFT-LCD solutions for the industrial market.
A leader in LCD technology, Sharp developed this 6.4-inch display (LQ064V3DG01) in response to an increased demand for next-generation displays that feature greater on-screen performance characteristics in a smaller, thinner and lighter package. The display is characterized by higher reliability, resolution and brightness, low reflection, higher color saturation, wider viewing angles and wider temperature ranges than previous generations of 6.4-inch displays.
Leveraging its longstanding commitment to the industrial market, Sharp developed this newest display to accommodate specific design considerations that are priority for designers of industrial applications. For example, with 350 nits of brightness, and pinouts and connectors identical to previous versions for easy drop-in, the display allows engineers to upgrade to a current-generation display technology without having to re-design the application. It is ROHS compliant, and does not contain any hazardous substances that are harmful to either human health or the environment. The 6.4-inch display is targeted at the growing trend in industrial markets for devices that can support VGA resolution, such as control systems, factory automation, handheld instrumentation, test and measurement equipment, security monitors and GPS systems.
Sharp also has developed display process improvements and efficiencies, such as wider temperature range, greater shock resistance, and longer backlight life, that translate to better price and performance for displays for industrial markets.
Sharp System Solutions
Sharp's new 6.4-inch TFT-LCD integrates seamlessly with other components from Sharp, including its BlueStreak(TM) MCUs, NOR Flash memory devices, optoelectronics, and other components, to deliver well-integrated, proven system solutions for industrial devices.
