Embedded World 2014: MSC parades multi-touch projected capacitative technology
The Multi-Touch Projected Capacitive Technology (MPCT) currently permits up to 40 independent contact points to be analysed simultaneously on displays of up to 216 cm (85in.) will be introduced by MSC Technologies at Embedded World 2014 in Nuremberg (Feb 25-27). This multi-touch technology developed by Zytronic is based on the ZXY200 and forthcoming ZXY300 touch controllers and a robust scalable touch sensor.
Partnership develops a truly flexible AMOLED display
Aiming to transform and accelerate the market for flexible and wearable displays, Plastic Logic and Novaled have announced a partnership. Both companies are working to enable the market for truly flexible, unbreakable AMOLED displays (according to the IHS 2013 report, this market segment is forecast to be worth over $10bn (USD) by 2020).
Controller supports up to 40 simultaneous touch points
Designed for touchscreens that have diagonals greater than 55-inches, the ZXY300 has been introduced to complement Zytronic's portfolio of rugged, ultra-large format, multi-touch touch sensors. Based on the company's MPCT projected capacitive (p-cap) technology, the controller enables far better touch point resolution to be achieved whilst maintaining millisecond level response speeds.
MiniLEDs deliver improved thermal performance
Vishay’s VLMx234 power MiniLEDs in ultra-compact 2.3 x 1.3 x 1.4mm SMD packages are now available at Rutronik. Utilising the AllnGaP technology, the VLMx234 series provides exceptional brightness with a typical luminous intensity of 3500mcd and maximum luminous intensity of 4900mcd at 70mA, while delivering improved thermal performance compared to previous-generation LEDs.
EPD gate driver can power segment or active matrix displays
Featuring 400 outputs that are rated for +/-15V, IXYS have released the IXEP1400 electronic paper display (EPD) gate driver.
4.8in. TFT module readable from all directions
Japanese TFT module supplier, Ortustech Technology is now offering a wide product range of small and medium sized TFTs from 5.1 cm (2.0in.) up to 17.78 cm (7.0in.) screen sizes. One key product is the 12.2 cm (4.8”) TFT - COM43H4M87ULC. The TFT has a very high resolution of 720 x 1280 dots enabling a sharp and crystal clear image.
Displays offer gesture control for industrial environments
Offering projected capacitive touch functionality and crystal-clear visual clarity, the AA150XT11-PCAP and AA190EA01-PCAP displays have been introduced by Mitsubishi Electric. The 15" XGA and 19" SXGA colour TFT-LCD displays both provide a high contrast ratio of 800:1, an excellent luminance of 1.200cd/m2, and up to 16.7m colours.
Industrial grade monitors combine multi-touch and LCD
Featuring the required durability for operating in harsh environments, Axiomtek has announced the P6157W and P6187W industrial widescreen multi-touch LCD monitors. The 15.6 and 18.5" displays are suitable for use in industrial automation and control, building automation, machinery manufacturing environments, self-service kiosk, and other HMI applications.
Displays based on customer’s own specifications
Available for 36, 90 and 120 segments, Electronic Assembly offers customised ePaper displays for industry applications in medical engineering, aviation, automotive electronics and the Internet of Things. The design of the black/white segments is based on the customer’s own specifications (simple sketches, technical drawings or something in between).
Rugged TFT fulfills needs of harsh environment applications
Featuring IPS technology and 16:9 wide aspect ratio, the TX17D200VM0BAA is a 6.5-inch Rugged+ TFT display from KOE Europe. With a wide viewing angle and WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, the displays are designed to fulfill the needs of high reliability and harsh environment applications.
