KYOCERA Showcases Next-Generation LCD Displays with Advanced Wide View, Super High Brightness at DisplayWeek 2015

San Jose, CA, June 1, 2015 - Kyocera announced today that its next-generation LCD displays will be showcased at DisplayWeek 2015 this week. The company’s innovative thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD displays allow bright colors to be seen clearly even in intense sunlight – making them ideal for industrial applications including medical, aerospace, marine, test and measurement, and factory automation equipment.

Kyocera’s new 10.4” XGA (TCG104XGLP) and 12.1” XGA (TCG121XGLP) TFT-LCD displays feature 1024 x 768 resolution and the latest high-efficiency, long-lifetime LED backlights with brightness ratings of 1300cd/m2 (10.4”) and 1200cd/m2 (12.1”). Powered with Kyocera’s Advanced Wide View (AWV) technology, the displays achieve a wide, 85-degree viewing angle in all directions. Kyocera’s LED driver circuit is fully integrated, eliminating the need for additional components to drive the backlights. The new TFT-LCDs are designed with a standard LVDS interface, and offer a wide operating temperature range of -30º to 80º C, ideal for outdoor applications.
