Brightest 12.1" TFT Color Display from AND; Ideal for Instrumentation Applications; Industry Leading Brightness of 250 Nits.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 1997--Purdy Electronics Corp. today announced the introduction of a high bright 12.1" display, AND12C275A-HB, 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.

Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. product line. 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. Product Description The 12.1 inch diagonal panel screen (246x185 mm) utilizes thin film transistor technology (TFT), features an industry leading brightness of 250 nits, and is driven by a digital 6-bit signal to generate 256K colors. The AND12C275A-HB is a SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. display with 800 (horizontal) by 600 (vertical) pixels with a pitch of 0.3075mm arranged in a striped pattern. Overall dimensions are 275x195mm. Power consumption for the display is 5 volts at 125 mA (typical). The CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Same as CCFT. backlight back·light n.

If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. requiring 12 volts at 600 mA (typical). This represents the newest addition to the AND family of nine TFT color monitors and panels which range from 4 inches to 12.1 inches (diagonal). Versus competitive offerings, the AND12C275A-HB provides the brightest "off-the-shelf" 12.1" display available; the dual tube 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 fluorescent lamp Type of electric discharge lamp consisting of a glass tube filled with a mixture of argon and mercury vapor. A current of electricity causes the vapor to produce ultraviolet radiation that, in turn, excites a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube, (CCFL) backlight provides 250 nit brightness. Additionally, the display incorporates state of the art TFT screen technology providing excellent response, high contrast, anti-glare, and an unsurpassed viewing angle. The AND12C275A-HB is available for immediate delivery at a time when many color display vendors are capacity constrained and on allocation. Pricing for the display is $1,295 each in quantities of 500. Added value services are also available including backlight enhancements (up to 900 nits), interface cards with control circuitry, inverters, cabling, and technical support. Applications Due to its superior brightness, the AND12C275A-HB is ideal for non-PC notebook/instrumentation applications. Target applications include the following: 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.
