Industrial displays with led backlight

According to Sharp, the new Type LQ057Q3DC03 5.7in display features a broad viewing angle, which covers 160° in the horizontal axis and 145° in the vertical. Sharp adds that the high brightness of 500cd/m^² enables a good readability of the QVGA display even in very bright ambient light conditions. The Type LQ084S3LG03 8.4inch TFT lcd is said to provide 'brilliant' image reproduction due to its SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and colour depth of 16million colours. The graphics control is performed by means of an LVDS interface. Both displays feature an led backlight which enables rapid response behaviour and wide dimming capability. This enables a stepless regulation of the display brightness from zero to maximum level. The display illumination can be optimised to suit ambient light conditions and the brightness control is performed preferentially on a digital basis by means of pulse width modulation. The corresponding drivers are already serially integrated to the new models LQ057Q3DC03 and LQ084S3LG03. The backside of the lcd module simultaneously functions as a cooling element for the led backlight. By these means, Sharp says that both of the new TFT lcds reach the temperature range between -30 and 80°C which is necessary for many industrial applications, with a service life of 50,000 hours. The lcds are suitable for industrial applications, testing and measurement instruments, portable medical monitoring devices and building automation systems. Due to the led backlighting, model LQ057Q3DC03 is predominantly suitable for outdoor and semi-outdoor areas, where applications are exposed to very bright and frequently changing light conditions. Sample models are available now, with mass production planned for the first quarter of 2012.
