Technologies tend to come full circle, but in this case we mean literally – combining an advanced rotary encoder (and encoder shell) with a 1.28-inch circular TFT display for a single, compact control solution. Users can navigate with precision by simply turning or pressing the knob, while the integrated screen displays menus, status updates or graphics right at the point of interaction.

We all know and love e-paper, right? And like they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But what if it could be better? What if we could tell you that the latest generation of e-paper from Avnet Displays is smarter, sharper and more sustainable than ever?

As you might imagine, we are very particular when it comes to who we partner with. After all, we have an impeccable track record for giving our customers the very best displays. So, we’d like to introduce you to Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), whose specialized firmware and hardware meets our every expectation – and yours.

Today, touch displays are a familiar sight in industrial applications, so making sure that they are robust and durable, while also maintaining their brilliance, is essential. This means that we pay particular attention to how each component of the display is connected – a process called ‘optical bonding’.

There are two words guaranteed to make us sigh loudly: cable management. Now, don’t misunderstand us, we know the unique satisfaction of well managed cables, but that feeling is entirely derived from the knowledge that they often need a lot of wrangling.

Are you familiar with Smart Surface Technology? If not, you should be. It’s nothing short of a breakthrough in displays and combines sleek design with the superb functionality that is the hallmark of Avnet Displays.

When devices are designed for use outdoors, there are immediately several challenges to overcome and, for us, one of the most important is getting the balance right when it comes to brightness. But why? Surely, to counteract the effect of strong sunlight we simply use a TFT display with high brightness?

Outdoor environments pose unique challenges for touchscreens – requiring robust construction and exceptional performance under harsh conditions like wet environments, extreme temperatures, vandalism, and electromagnetic interference.

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.

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.
