Wide landscape format TFT for public information displays

Industrial LCD solution provider JDIT-K – formerly KOE – has announced the introduction of a new 15.8-inch transmissive colour TFT display module. The TX40D200VM0BAA features a resolution of 2560 x 600 pixels, a wide landscape format, and the latest In-plane switching (IPS) LCD technology.

Optical performance is provided with the implementation of the latest In-plane switching (IPS) technology, which delivers outstanding colour representation with deeply saturated colours and highly consistent image stability, strong contrast ratios and deep black levels combined with 176° viewing angles in all directions (up/down, left/right).

Display images are bright, accurate and concise, with a contrast ratio of 800:1 and a white LED backlight providing a specified brightness rating of 370cd/m² and a half-brightness lifetime of 70K hours. An integrated PWM backlight dimming circuitry enables easily controlled, flicker-free dimming from 0% to 100%.

Benson Huang, marketing manager, JDIT-K, said: “The optical performance and image characteristics of the new 15.8-inch TFT module naturally lends itself to use in digital signage, public information displays and control console applications. Bright, deeply saturated colours and high contrast display images can be easily viewed and scrutinised from all directions.”

Ease-of-use is enhanced with the adoption of a 20-pin embedded DisplayPort (eDP) data interface which offers support for 8-bit RGB colour data enabling a colour palette of up to 16.7M colours. The display module has outline mechanical dimensions of 409.8mm (w) x 109.5mm (h) x 14.5mm (d), and an active display area 389.76mm (w) x 91.35mm (h). An operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C is supported.

Future product development plans include the imminent introduction of an additional JDIT-K 15.8-inch TFT display module featuring an LVDS interface, enhanced luminance rating, and a wider -30°C to +80°C operating temperature range.

Typical applications for the high-resolution, wide-screen display module include digital signage, public information systems, control consoles, in-vehicle clusters, public transport, measurement and monitoring equipment.
