Maximiser2 from Densitron is an LCD module with a top-of-the line specification that includes operation over a wide temperature range. Maximiser2 is a fully addressable graphics panel of 480 x 320 dot resolution (1/2-VGA). It uses the latest LCD technology to provide a bright, clear display; the LCD is an FSTN type used in transflective mode.

Excellent readability is therefore assured in ambient light, and for use in low-light conditions or in darkness the module has a built-in backlight.

Once again this uses the most up-to-date practice, employing white light-emitting diodes that give good efficiency and a long lifetime, specified at 50,000 hours.

One of the limitations of some earlier LCD technologies was their restricted temperature range: not so with the Maximiser2, which is specified for operation over -20 to +70C.

Storage temperature range is -30 to +80C.

Maximiser2 has an active display area of 115.2 x 76.8 mm, and an overall module size of 144 x 94.9 mm, excluding mountings.

Assisting designers in mounting the module within their equipment's enclosures, the module has an overall thickness of only 10.5mm.

Connections are via a standard 20-pin connector for the display panel itself, and a 2-pin connector on a flying lead for the LED drive.

Drive voltage for the panel is 23.8V, with a frame rate of 70Hz .
