Kyocera

electronica, the international fair for the electronic industry, presents innovative technologies and trends. Thousands of exhibitors contribute to the trade fair and demonstrate the breadth and variety of the product range and fields of application. This year, Kyocera presents a whole host of new products from different areas of the company.

Kyocera has announced its 0.5mm-pitch flexible printed circuit (FPC) and flat flexible cable (FFC) electronic connectors with improved quality assurance (QA) checks – both visual and automated optical inspections (AOI) – to prevent misalignment. Kyocera’s new 6892 Series connectors also feature an operating range from -40°C to +125°C and high-speed transmission making them well suited for automobile applications. The new connectors are available globally in August 2018.

  Kyocera International, Inc. has announced a line of high-performance, high-resolution LCD panels specifically designed for automotive Head-Up-Displays (HUDs). These LCDs offer high light transmittance, high resolution, and the industry’s widest operating temperature range for optimal performance in automotive HUD applications.

Kyocera is to construct a new manufacturing plant on the premises of its Kagoshima Sendai manufacturing complex to increase production of ceramic microelectronic packages. The company entered into a site location agreement with local governments, and a signing ceremony was held at the Satsumasendai municipal office in the presence of the governor of Kagoshima Prefecture and mayor of Satsumasendai.

Kyocera has announced that its subsidiary, Kyocera Communication Systems, will launch three new fee-based plans for Labellio, its online image classifying service which enables users to quickly and easily classify digital images by using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered deep learning technology - without the need for programming or deep learning expertise. The new service plans will be available on 30th October.

Kyocera has announced its first electronic connectors to feature one-touch locking, which will be available globally in July 2017. Kyocera’s new 6810 series flexible printed circuit (FPC) and flat-flex cable (FFC) connectors provide automatic locking upon full insertion, a key feature to support automated manufacturing and robotic assembly processes. The 6810 series connectors also offer heat resistance up to 125°C (257°F) for automotive, industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Advance Wide View Technology is a key feature of the new 6.2” LCD from Kyocera. The display has been developed for industrial applications and features a 16:6 format and the width allows the display of longer parameter curves while maintaining a slim design and flat form. Furthermore, it is well suited to fit in a 19” rack system, which is commonly used for audio and server equipment.

The new 5.7" VGA TFT module (4:3) introduced by Kyocera is suitable for use in portable devices. Devices for industrial applications are following the trend of consumer electronics: becoming smaller, thinner and lighter.  However, it is crucial that these devices have high quality and the resilience for everyday use in rough environments.

The Japanese technology Corporation Kyocera, announced a new wide-format (16:10) TFT-LCD display for bright environments, indoors or outdoors. Wide-format TFT-LCDs provide a sleek, modern design aesthetic that allows more information to be displayed on a single screen.

Kyocera have announced three TFT-LCDs with Projected Capacitive Touchscreens (PCAP) that offer a suitable user interface for a wide variety of industrial applications such as medical equipment, factory automation, test and measurement and marine application.

The Kyocera Group will be exhibiting featured products and technologies at the CEATEC JAPAN 2015 tradeshow, one of Asia’s largest showcases for pioneering IT and electronics, from 7th to 10th October at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex.

A technology for real touch feeling and force feedback in display screens has been developed by Kyocera. The development of a real button sensation is expected to create a new type of user interface. It can be used in touch panel or touch pad products for a broad range of applications such as automotive and industrial equipment or in the field of information and communications.

Wide format (16: 10) 10.1” and 12.1” WXGA TFT-LCD displays have been introduced by Kyocera. Wide format TFT-LCDs provide a modern design look and allow more information to be displayed on the screen. The increased resolution and wide aspect ratio provide greater details and achieve a sharper image, making them suitable for industrial applications including medical, agriculture, test and measurement, and marine applications.

Kyocera has introduced two next-gen TFT LCDs which display bright colours clearly, even in intense sunlight. Suitable for industrial applications including medical, aerospace, aquatics, T&M and Industry 4.0 equipment, the 10.4" XGA (TCG104XGLP) and 12.1" XGA (TCG121XGLP) TFT LCD modules feature 1024x768px resolution and high-efficiency, long-life LED backlights offering 1300 and 1200 cd/m², respectively.

  The T-57152GD042H-LW-AAN and the T-55923GD050J-LW-ABN, small-format TFT LCD modules designed for use in harsh environments, have been introduced by Kyocera.

Two 7” widescreen (800x480px) WVGA on-cell touch LCD modules, featuring built-in touch sensors, have been introduced by Kyocera. The TCG070W VLRPC-GD117 and TCG070W VLRPC-GD118 expand the company’s range of LCDs. The capacitive touch sensor is built into the display’s front glass, resulting in a compact on-cell touch display.

Kyocera has revealed that the company has extended the backlight lifespan to 100,000 hours in 26 of its LCD modules. Available in sizes between 4.3 and 21", the long-life portfolio includes standard modules and modules suitable for use in extended temperature ranges, extremely bright light and in applications that require very wide view angles.

Kyocera’s development of this innovative ceramic packaging is based on established HTCC technology (High Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics), which is currently used with specific “non-magnetic” piece parts and plating options. Kyocera is now presenting a new type of HTCC with platinum metallization on the top surface and in ceramic multilayering. Besides the “non-magnetic” property of platinum metallization, this unique technique and choice of materials also allows for use in high temperature applications up to 1.000°C. For instance, the wireless SAW temperature sensor of the company Vectron, which can be used to screen temperatures up to 600° C, has been developed based on Kyocera’s component package. Furthermore, customized packages for individual applications can be delivered, for example, the design can include or omit leads and can also be made compatible with a surface mountable concept if required.

Kyocera is expanding its LCD portfolio to include the TCG121WXLPAPNN-AN20, a new 12.1” WXGA LCD module with a 16:10 widescreen format and a 1280 x 800-dot display. Featuring materials that are perfectly suited for demanding use in industrial applications, this display stands up to the toughest conditions thanks to an expanded temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, a 170° horizontal and vertical viewing angle and sturdy construction.

Three LCDs, featuring wide 170° horizontal and vertical viewing angles and extreme brightness of 1200cd/m², have been launched by Kyocera. The displays are suitable for almost any interior or exterior application.
