TFT display module handles extreme temperatures

Operation in extreme temperature environments is aided with KOE's latest generation of Rugged+ TFT display modules which support an operating temperature range that has been extended to -40°C to +85°C (an increase over the previously specified -30°C to +80°C). The storage temperature range is also increased to -40°C to +90°C.

Further enhancements to 7in Rugged+ display module have delivered improved optical, mechanical and environmental performance. The modules derive their optical and environmental characteristics from the exacting standards used in automotive specification display modules.

The 7in Rugged+ TFT is designed for use in high reliability industrial, medical, marine, automotive and aerospace applications where consistent and guaranteed operation under extreme temperature, mechanical shock and vibration are a necessity.

For dedicated human-machine interface applications, the latest IPS display technology delivers exceptional colour saturation and stability, high contrast and deep black levels with 170° wide viewing angles (vertical and horizontal).

The display features a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a white LED backlight with a brightness of 800cd/m² and a specified 70K hour half-brightness lifetime. These features ensure that display images are exceptionally bright, colourful and concise.

A 40-pin CMOS interface supports 6-bit RGB data which enables a colour palette of up to 262k colours. The 7.0-inch display module has mechanical outline dimensions of 167.7mm (w) x 109.45mm (h) x 9.0mm (d) and an active LCD area of 152.4mm (w) x 91.44 mm (h).

Also introduced, is the 7.0-inch TX18D206VM0BAA display module which features the same mechanical and optical specification but implements a 20-pin LVDS interface.

The 7in Rugged+ TX18D205VM0BAA and TX18D206VM0BAA TFT display modules are available immediately from KOE Europe's distribution partners.
