GTK launches 5” transflective IPS display
Summary
As an IPS panel, it also benefits from all-round viewing angle and excellent response times. “This transflective technology is ideally suited for outdoor applications,” said Clive Dickinson, Business Manager for Displays at GTK. “In daylight hours the display operates in reflective mode using natural light and this minimises power usage. A practical example of this would be an outdoor parking meter display being easily readable in daylight and at night an IR sensor triggering the backlight when a user approaches the meter.” “The advantage of this technology is that the reduced power usage can extend the life of the product by between 3-5 years, which is significant for OEMs and this needs to be considered when calculating the full lifetime cost of the finished product,” said Clive. “Other applications for this technology include handheld meters, kiosk displays, EV chargers, marine electronics and outdoor digital displays.” GTK can provide technical support and guidance for OEMS considering this innovative technology and advise on customisation options such as capacitive touch technology and custom bezels.
