GTK adds 10.1 inch version to extended temperature TFT portfolio
The family of extended operating temperature range TFTs from GTK now include a 10.1-inch version. This is becoming the “go to” screen size for OEMs, said Clive Dickinson, business manager for displays at GTK. “Typically, TFT displays operate at temperatures between -20 c to +70 degrees C, but displays in this range can operate between -30 to +85 degrees C, meaning they can be used in a wider range of applications, he added.
The 10.1 inch display uses IPS technology, LVDS connectivity and has 1,000 cd brightness making it sunlight readable. It also features an extended backlight half-like of 50,000 hours, making it suitable for industrial, always-on display applications. All of these features, combined with its extended temperature range, make the TFT display suitable for a variety of harsh environments and outdoor applications.
GTK can offer OEMs options such as custom enhancements, custom capacitive sensors and extended glass cover lenses to allow flush fitting into recessed housings.
GTK’s technical experts can support OEMs with new product designs including display selection, customisation and connectivity.
