Anders releases sunlight-readable TMR TFT display

Designed for portable applications - such as mobile handsets, remote monitoring systems, industrial and metering products, portable measuring devices and medical devices - the 2.8in TMR TFT offers excellent indoor and outdoor optical specifications, guaranteed availability and cost-performance advantages, according to the company.

Traditional sunlight-readable products rely on either a power-consuming bright backlight, which is unsuitable for portable applications, or cost-prohibitive transflective technology.

The newest Anders display leverages cost-effective TMR, an alternative to transflective displays for designers of indoor/outdoor products for original equipment manufacturers.

For outdoor use, TMR displays are comparable in performance with transflective displays.

For indoor use, the TMR display's high transmission rate results in better colour saturation and improved performance compared with transflective technology.

Anders' portrait-mode TMR TFTs are currently available in 2.8in, 4.3in, 5.7in and 7.0in screen sizes, with a resolution of 240 x (RGB) x 320 pixels, 262K colours and an integrated backlight.

The displays offer a display surface luminance of 300cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 300:1 and a 12 o'clock viewing angle.

Designed for rugged industrial and outdoor use, the TMR TFTs offer operating temperatures from -20C to 70C and storage temperatures from -30C to 80C.
