New Amulet OnBoard GUI Chip and Circuitry Mounts Directly on LCD Display for a Smaller, Lighter and More Compact Module.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- --Amulet Technologies now provides a fully integrated display solution for 5.7" LCD Display modules--Amulet OnBoard (AOB) includes the Graphical OS Chip, mounted directly to the back of the display.

Amulet Technologies, inventor of the Graphical Operating System in Silicon, introduces Amulet OnBoard(TM) for the 5.7-inch QVGA display module. AOB is a fully integrated solution mounted directly to the back of the display that provides the Graphical OS Chip and circuitry to drive the LCD. The result is a smaller, lighter and more compact display module. AOB modules are available in three display types: STN Blue Negative (transmissive), FSTN Negative (transmissive) and FSTN Positive (transflective). The modules include an integrated touch panel, white LED backlight and a 4 megabit serial flash chip for storing micronHTML(TM) pages.

Amulet OnBoard features the Graphical OS Chip, which includes a graphic library, dedicated microprocessor, and LCD controller. This tight integration, will dramatically simplify end-product production time compared with gathering the components separately and developing it into an appealing user interface module.

"Embedded engineers have their hands full developing their core applications," said Jim Turley, chief analyst at Silicon-Insider. "Graphical user interfaces are important but, frankly, most engineers aren't very good at it. Creating a new GUI diverts precious time and talent from the core technology. Amulet's integrated LCD, touch screen, firmware, and widgets make GUI building swift and easy. It's a boon to these developers, especially when there's no code-writing involved."

"The Amulet OnBoard LCD display is perfectly matched to our Graphical Operating System in Silicon," said Ken Klask, President of Amulet Technologies. "System developers looking to incorporate sleek control features into their design have the additional benefit of creating a graphically stunning display in record time. With our Graphical OS Chip mounted onto the LCD display, manufacturers can now easily upgrade to a dynamic graphic user interface by creating a "graphic skin" for older products needing a mid-life facelift."

Additionally, the Amulet OnBoard LCD display comes equipped with standard communication ports that promote the control and programming of devices through existing local area networks and information technology infrastructure. Developers can use existing code and industry-standard protocols to link devices by Ethernet, for example, and control their operations. Radio, Wi-Fi and RS485 are also supported by the LCD.

The Amulet OnBoard LCD display is available for $125 each for production volumes of 10,000 units or more. For more on the Amulet OnBoard LCD display and Graphical OS in Silicon, visit the company's Website at www.amulettechnologies.com
