Review Display Systems (RDS) now offers the NL12880BC20-07F WXGA, TFT Colour LCD module from NLT. It is manufactured specifically to be readable in bright or sunlight conditions in industrial settings.

The 1280 x 800 resolution TFT display has a contrast ratio of 800:1 (typical) and an impressive screen luminance of 1,800cd/m², making it truly readable in sunlight.

The robust industrial LCD module offers high contrast and clear images due to the proprietary ColorXcell technology which reproduces colour that is comparable in intensity to the original video source (i.e. without tint or colour variance), yet with a minimum increase in power consumption.

The 12.1inch display uses an-Si TFT active matrix drive to display over 16milion colours, with 64 grayscale, at 8bit input, and 262, 144 colours at 6bit input via a single channel LVDS connection.

The wide operating temperature of -20 to +70C combined with the high screen brightness makes this panel ideal for outdoor mobile applications.

The module is compact, measuring only 277.7 x 180.6 x 8.7mm for use in space-restricted industrial environments.

The screen can be viewed from all directions and has an anti-glare surface and consumes just 17W (typical).
