KYOCERA Introduces Wide-Format, Super High Brightness TFT-LCD for Industrial Applications

New 12.1” WXGA with 1500nits brightness ideal for easy readability in outdoor sunlit applications

February 23, 2016 – Plymouth, MI – Kyocera today announced a new wide-format (16:10) TFT-LCD display for bright environments, indoors or outdoors. The display is a new 12.1” WXGA TFT-LCD.

Wide-format TFT-LCDs provide a sleek, modern design aesthetic that allows more information to be displayed on a single screen. The increased resolution and wide aspect ratio deliver greater detail and sharper imaging, making them ideal for all industrial display needs — including medical, agriculture, test and measurement, and marine applications.

Kyocera’s new 12.1” WXGA (TCG121WX) TFT-LCD display features 1280 x 800 resolution. Designed with the newest high-efficiency power LED backlight, the display achieves a super high brightness of 1500nits, which makes it easily readable even in bright, sunny environments. Powered with Kyocera’s Advanced Wide View (AWV) technology, the display provides a wide, 85-degree viewing angle in all directions (left, right, top and bottom) and eliminates color inversion.

It is easy to incorporate this new display into compact equipment designs because no additional components are required to drive the backlights. Kyocera’s LED driver circuit is integrated into the display module. The new TFT-LCD is designed with a standard LVDS interface and offers a wide operating temperature range of -30° to 80°C.

Kyocera’s new 12.1” WXGA TFT-LCD facilitates compact form factors in industrial equipment.

 

“Kyocera brings 40 years of experience in LCD technology innovation, making the company a preferred supplier of displays for industrial, automotive and medical equipment,” said Cynthia Ferrell, Vice President of Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corporation’s Display Division. “We continue our commitment to developing environmentally friendly products; all of Kyocera’s TFT-LCDs are RoHS compliant to reduce potentially hazardous substances.”

The new wide-format (16:10) TFT-LCD display is in volume production and ready to ship immediately. For more information, please visit www.kyocera-display.com, call +1-734-416-8500 or email displaysales@kyocera.com
