Mitsubishi launches 8.4-, 10.4- & 12.1-inch color TFT-LCD modules with circuit board-embedded LED drivers

JAPAN: Mitsubishi Electric Corp. announced the launch of its new 8.4-, 10.4- and 12.1-inch TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) industrial-use modules in both SVGA and XGA color versions.

The six models, in addition to featuring high brightness and wide viewing angles, have a LED driver embedded in the circuit board to help reduce the size and cost of final products. Sales will begin successively from December 1 through Mitsubishi Electric global offices.

Industrial-use color TFT-LCDs capable of high-quality images are used widely in POS terminals, bank ATMs, factory line displays and for many other applications. In the case of these conventional TFT-LCDs, however, the driver circuitry for the LED backlight must be added to the module to complete the final product. Mitsubishi Electric’s six new modules eliminate the need for this circuitry, enabling the manufacturing of smaller products at reduced costs.
