TFT displays with long-life LED backlight

The 10.4inch TFT displays G104V1-T03 (VGA) / G104X1-L03 (XGA) and the 12.1inch panel G121S1-L02 (SVGA) from CMO (Chi Mei Optoelectronics) feature a viewing angle of 88° from all sides, a contrast ratio of up to 1500:1 and a brightness of up to 450cd/m². The displays are manufactured with the help of MVA (Multi-domain Vertically Aligned) technology. The new models are equipped with an especially long-life LED backlight with an operating life of 50000 hours typical at 25°C and a 12V LED driver circuit is already integrated in the electronics. If needed, the displays can, however, also be driven with the customer’s own driver circuit. The G104X1-L03 is designed for an operating temperature range of -20 to +70°C. The G104V1-T03 and G121S1-L02 models are specified for an extended temperature range of -30 to +80°C. All panels are mechanically compatible to the respective CCFL versions, whereby the "side mounting" mechanical system used with the CMO displays enables an especially small outline dimension. The displays are suitable for indoor and outdoor industrial applications. If needed, the displays are available with a complete SKD kit. Samples of the TFT displays are available from Gleichmann Electronics.
