Sharp Develops 4.3-in. Industrial-Grade LCD for Mobile
Applications
CAMAS, Wash. - Sharp
Microelectronics of the Americas introduced
a 4.3-in. industrial-grade liquid-crystal display (LCD)
designed for mobile and portable-use applications on April 25.
The LQ043T1DG01 is a highly integrated display with touch
panel to complement handheld- and portable-device design. It
also delivers superior performance in brightness and contrast,
operates over a broad temperature range, and features a wide
viewing angle, all while conserving power, Sharp said.
The display offers 16 million colors, a 16:9 aspect ratio,
high brightness of 500 nits and a viewing cone of 120° (H) x
100° (V) in 480 (H) x 272 (V) pixels. According to the
company, its LQ043T1DG01 is an excellent fit for applications
in challenging industrial and handheld environments and
high-ambient-light conditions, and its high level of
integration means a lower parts count. Typical applications
include PDAs, portable medical equipment, GPS/navigation, home
automation control, test and measurement equipment, fish
finders, and security systems.
"This display reinforces Sharp's technological
leadership and provides designers with a great choice when
choosing a display for demanding applications," Sriram Peruvemba, Senior Manager
of Product Marketing at Sharp Microelectronics of the
Americas, stated in a press release. "It raises the
standard in 4.3-in. display performance."
As an industrial performance part, the LQ043T1DG01 is
designed and tested to meet demanding environments by
providing wide operating temperatures, high brightness, and a
wide viewing angle. The display features an integrated touch
panel and a standard thing-film transistor (TFT) interface (no
ASIC or GSIC required).
"The 4.3-inch display is tested to the full range of
its specifications so Sharp can ensure that it operates
properly to the edges of those specifications," explained
Peruvemba, "This display truly rises above the current
class of commodity-grade parts and provides an
industry-leading solution."
