Hitachi display modules support wide-aspect ratio

The 7.0in TX18D35VM0AAA and 8.0in TX20D26VM0AAA feature the latest evolutions of Hitachi's In-Plane-Switching technology, IPS-Pro, which provides a stable colour image from any viewing angle, excellent colour saturation and a very high contrast ratio, the company said.

The TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA support a 15:9 wide-aspect ratio and a display resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (WVGA), which enables flexible graphical user interfaces to be designed for many different application environments.

Challenging industrial environments are supported with an operating temperature range of -30 to 80C.

Hitachi's IPS-Pro TFT technology as implemented in the TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA display modules overcome the limitations of conventional TFT display technology.

The high brightness LED backlights provide image uniformity and 600:1 contrast ratio while delivering a brightness of 600cd/m and a lifetime of 70K hours.

The TX18D35VM0AAA and TX20D26VM0AAA implement a six-bit RGB CMOS data interface that enables up to 262K colours to be employed.

The display modules feature compact mechanical dimensions of 165.0 (W) x 104.0 (H) x 12.8mm (D) and 190.0 (W) x 120.0 (H) x 12.8mm (D), respectively.

Touch-panel versions of the displays, the 7.0in TX18D35VM0APA and 8.0in TX20D26VM0APA, are also available.

The modules are suitable for embedded applications such as in-flight entertainment, media terminals, navigation systems, home automation and industrial user interfaces.
