Sharp Microelectronics introduces two 4.3-inch industrial TFT LCD panels (type LQ043T1DG01 and LQ043T1DG02) particularly designed for mobile and industrial handheld applications. The brightness of up to 600 cd/m², the anti glare coating and an extended temperature range of -10°C to +70°C ensure an excellent readability even under ruggedized outdoor and changing ambient light conditions. Also 16 million colours and a 300:1 contrast ratio substantially contribute to the high image quality of the two new displays. In addition, the LQ043T1DG01 integrates a touch functionality facilitating the design of interactive industrial handhelds. Target applications for both displays are for example portable medical equipment, handheld barcode and RFID readers, GPS/navigation, home automation control, test and measurement equipment as well as security systems. The LQ043T1DG01 and the LQ043T1DG02 are the latest members of Sharp's small sized TFT LCD line-up for industrial portable applications. It comprises 15 different RoHS compliant displays ranging from 2.2 to 4.3 inches screen size. Various models are equipped with different technologies e.g. transflective types.
