We are frequently asked if we can replace old membrane keypads with a new PCAP design. It makes sense, as the membrane design can present many problems – particularly as it ages. Simply put, membrane keys are less durable and their PET foil, which controls responsiveness, can and will break with frequent use.
It only feels like a few minutes ago that we shared the news of our MipiPlus 7”, 7.8” and 4” products, but already we have another addition to offer. It’s a testament not only to the popularity of MipiPlus, but the speed at which we are able to launch new tested and proven variations into our portfolio – especially one with an interface as challenging to integrate as MIPI.
When we speak to our customers about MIPI Display products, they all agree that it’s a great interface that comes with some implementation challenges. However, working with Avnet Embedded means that they have a partner with plenty of experience in integrating MIPI into a range of industrial and medical products and our portfolio just keeps growing.
We knew the launch of MipiPlus in February would be popular, but we’ve had such a great response to the 7.84” size that we’re now adding the 7” (17.78 cm) screen size to our portfolio. Integrating MIPI display products can be a complex process, but our significant experience in the field has given plenty of customers confidence to partner with Avnet Embedded for the journey.
Display products with MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) had previously been limited to purely high-volume consumer products, most notably smart phones. Recently, however, there has been a steady increase of MIPI products across industrial and medical applications and this has created more room for them mainly in handheld applications and sizes due to lower power requirements.
Industrial standard displays need to perform under all circumstances – in extremes of weather and temperature, or environments where there is a high risk of damage. Traditionally, this has been fulfilled by resistive touch displays, which are essentially two transparent film layers, each with a conductive layer on the inside. To operate, these layers press against each other. However, this continual pressure can be problematic, as it means they lose their resistance over time and eventually wear out. Scratching and a lack of optical clarity is also an issue.
Our well-loved and widely used SimplePlus family welcomes a new addition in the shape of the new ‘AMA-070A08-DU2511-G020’. It may not be the catchiest of names, but it could be just the solution you need to kickstart your product innovation journey.
As a leading provider of industrial visualization systems, Avnet Displays is implementing complete PCAP glass touch solutions using a new technology to achieve bigger sizes, better optical and EMI performance, along with lower sheet resistance.
Avnet Dsiplays has just added a new 10.1″ option to its popular range of SimplePlus displays. The new GEA-101C01-DC9509-G020 is a ready-to-use display solution which is pre-validated and tested for a wide range of industrial uses.
