10.4" TFT Color displays from Purdy Feature High Brightness for Instrumentation Applications.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 1997--Purdy Electronics Corp. today announced the introduction and availability of the 10.4" AND LTM LTM abbr. long-term memory 10C209A as the latest addition to their AND color, thin film transistor (TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film.

These high-brightness (250 nits) VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. displays are ideal for medical, office and factory instrumentation and are available for immediate delivery. "Typically, the average brightness for 10.4" TFT displays is 70 nits," stated Brian Platt, vice president, Sales, Purdy Electronics. "While that may be appropriate for laptop computer displays where you sit close to the screen, it is unacceptable for many instrumentation applications where you must be able to read the screen from a few feet away -- or even from across the room. Therefore, we're seeing strong sales for this TFT display with 250 nits brightness." Features of the 10.4" TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor LCD) See LCD. Module The 10.4 inch diagonal panel screen (211 x 158 mm) utilizes thin film transistor technology, features an industry leading brightness of 250 nits, and is driven by a digital 6-bit signal to generate 256K colors. The LTM10C209A is a VGA display with 640 (horizontal) by 480 (vertical) pixels with a pitch of 0.33 mm arranged in a stripe pattern. Overall dimensions are 265 x 189 mm. Power consumption for the display is 5 volts at 125 mA (typical). The cold cathode A cathode in a gas-filled electron tube that is not heated by a filament in order to excite the electrons and cause current flow. The voltage potential within the tube is sufficient to ionize the gas in the tube and cause current flow. fluorescent lamp (CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Same as CCFT. ) backlight back·light n.

This represents the newest addition to the AND family of nine TFT color monitors and panels which range from 4 to 12.1 inches (diagonal), with a new high-bright 250-nit 12.1" display coming out soon. Versus competitive offerings, the LTM10C209A provides the brightest "off-the-shelf" 10.4" display available; the dual tube CCFL backlight provides 250 nit brightness. Additionally, the display incorporates state-of-the-art TFT screen technology providing an unsurpassed contrast and response time. The LTM10C209A is available for immediate delivery. Pricing for the display is $770 each in quantities of 500. Applications Due to its superior brightness, the AND LTM10C209A is ideal for instrumentation applications. Target applications include medical instrument monitors; mobile entertainment; aircraft instrumentation; industrial control instruments; scientific instruments; test and measurement instruments; multimedia kiosks; point of sale devices; and office automation equipment.
