The customer´s main needs were:
– better optical performance than running design
-better price than running design
-outdoor design in regard to UV & water resistance as well as readability
-ruggedness
-extra backlight
Like most things in life, displays change and improve. As classic displays and control elements are increasingly being replaced by modern display stacks, new processes will come into play to bond the cover glasses or DTCs into their housings.
Well, what do you know, another SimplePlus product has been added to our portfolio! Hot on the heels of the muscular new 7” SimplePlus, we have added a new and pleasingly low-cost 5” display.
When it comes to the world of sensor technology, we like to think that we know our stuff. And while the principles that are central to pressure sensors have been around for some time, we’re certainly seeing a new interest in the latest advancements in the field.
It’s not the first time we’ve talked about the phenomena of the ‘ghost touch’ or ‘false touch’, where a touch screen responds, seemingly without human interaction. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you view it!), there is nothing spooky going on here.
A gamechanger? Well, yes. In our world of displays, it can be tempting to announce every new innovation with a huge fanfare and excitement. But the 23.1″ Stretched In-Cell Monitor is genuinely going to be a huge deal for so many of our customers.
It’s important to take a step back and consider just what your application really needs when it comes to wear and tear. Because while the ultimate in toughness might be your immediate choice, it could be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut – it’ll do the job, but did you really need all that power?
Our customers love the 7” SimplePlus. Why? Because it’s a great display that gets the job done, balancing cost and performance without cutting corners. So, it wasn’t long before we were asked to make it a little… tougher, for use outdoors. As ever, your wish is our command.
Capacitive sensors are great – highly reliable and have a wide range of functions. You can’t argue with their usefulness in household electronics, especially as panels in such products are becoming thinner and lighter with almost every iteration. In the automotive world, however, this isn’t exactly desirable. In this industry, sensitive sensor technology is subject to stricter requirements, both in terms of service life and environmental influences.
‘True color’ is one of those expressions that takes on a different meaning, depending on who you’re talking to. For an artist or designer, it refers to the accurate depiction of colour in an image – as close to the original as possible. In the world of displays, it defines the palette of around 16 million colors on a PC (otherwise known as 24-bit color depth).
