NEW PRODUCT NEWS—edited by Harv Weiner

LCD Display

Apollo Display Technologies Inc. has introduced a high-contrast line of 240 ý 128 pixel monochrome, passive LCDs with onboard controllers and optional touchscreens. The line includes black and white FSTN transmissive and blue and white STN transmissive models, both with cold cathode backlighting. Also available is a transflective, sunlight readable version with LED backlighting.

These compact displays offer designers a simple and low-cost way to display icons, logos, bar charts, multiple fonts, and bit-map graphics with optional user input via an analog resistive touchscreen. Applications include bench top, rack or panel mounted instruments, POS terminals, and other applications requiring high information content in limited space.

The display includes 240 ý 128 pixels with 0.50 ý 0.50-mm (0.020" ý .020") pitch in a 126.0 ý 70.0-mm (4.96" ý 2.76") viewing area and outline dimensions of 170.0 x 105.0 x 14.0 mm (6.7" ý 4.1" ý 0.55"). Each model features a 5.0-V, 8-bit ASCII display interface with onboard, industry standard controller T6963C and 64-KB SRAM.

The touchscreen is designed for finger, stylus, and signature capture touch requirements. It features an 8-wire interface for accuracy, mounts directly to the display bezel, and offers 79% transmissivity with integral anti-glare film and hardcoat.

The displays price from $99 and $79 with and without touchscreen, respectively.
