Mono display enhanced for handheld applications

An enhanced version of Hitachi's popular 5.6 inch 1/4 VGA monochrome display is now available for use in industrial instrumentation and communications equipment.

GD Technik, the design-in distributor, is now supplying an enhanced version of Hitachi's popular 5.6 inch 1/4 VGA monochrome display for use in industrial instrumentation and communications equipment.

The SP14Q002-A1 is fully compatible with its predecessor, the SP14Q002, yet delivers images of higher clarity and is available at the same cost.

The SP14Q002-A1 is a black/white transmissive Film STN display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.

Dot size and pitch are 0.345mm2 and 0.360mm2 respectively.

Easier to read in poor light conditions, the display benefits from a high contrast ratio of 25:1, a brightness level of 140 cd/m2 and an high efficiency Cold Fluorescent Tube (CFT) back-light.

Actual module dimensions are 167 x 109 x 10mm and the effective display area is 120 x 89mm.

"With significant improvements made on the industry-leading SP14Q002, designers looking for the highest performance transmissive STN LCD screen available today need look no further than Hitachi's SP14Q002-A1," said Kim Allen, Hitachi product marketing manager at GD Technik.

When compared to similar displays, this module offers the highest contrast ratio and brightness levels available.
