Sharp Expands Its Small TFT LCD Line-up for Personal Audio Visual (PAV) Applications
Camas, WA (PRWEB) June 03, 2014 -- Today, Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas (SMA) announced two additions to its small TFT LCD module line-up. The two CGS (Continuous Grain-Silicon) LCDs include a 1.6-inch Class (1.56-inch diagonal) Transflective Color LCD for wearable technology and a 2.95-inch (diagonal) SVGA+ LCD. The new displays, perfect for personal audio visual (PAV) applications, will be on show at Display Week 2014 in San Diego, CA, June 3 – 5.
The 1.6-inch Class LS016B8YUxx: The slim profile of this high-performance module is perfect for wearable product design. A highly reflective Transflective display (10% reflection ratio), it can be operated with the backlight off in most conditions to save power and is switchable between monochrome and color mode. Resolution of 180 × RGB × 180 in color mode and an 800:1 contrast ratio delivers crisp images and superior outdoor readability.
The 2.95-inch LS030B3DXxx: This Landscape-mode module delivers an image with 366 ppi (pixels per inch) quality, due to a high aperture ratio, plus a highly-transmissive color filter and polarizer give it a high brightness of 600 nits (typical) and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 (typical). Excellent viewability is delivered via Sharp’s new wide view angle technology. The panel includes a COG (Chip-on-Glass) driver, with an internal controller and power supply.
