Features of the wide-format LCD module, which is based on NEC LCD Technologies' ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) technology, include: horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 176 degrees, a luminance of 350 cd/m2, an excellent contrast ratio of 800:1 and a replaceable CCFL backlight with an average life of 50000 hours. The UA-SFT technology prevents the unavoidable color shifts, which occur with twisted nematic (TN) versions, due to changes in viewing angle. Thereby, information for the viewer can be read easily and more precisely.
The outer dimensions of the NL8048BC24-04 as well as the positions of mounting holes and screen center are compatible with twisted nematic (TN) products. The signal compatibility with conventional displays, supporting a WVGA-type LVDS interface, is also guaranteed. This enables the user to replace a module in an existing application without changes to the software or hardware. Among other things, the NL8048BC24-04 can also be used in portrait mode without any change in picture quality.
The NL8048BC24-04 is specified for a temperature range from -20°C to +70°C. Datasheets are immediately available from Gleichmann Electronics. First samples are expected to be available during the fourth quarter of 2008.
