Kyocera TCG070W VLRPC-GD117 and TCG070W VLRPC-GD118 touch screen LCD modules

Kyocera is expanding its range of liquid-crystal displays to include two 7″ widescreen (800 x 480 pixels) WVGA on-cell touch LCD modules with built-in touch sensors: the TCG070W VLRPC-GD117 and TCG070W VLRPC-GD118.

Both modules feature a capacitive touch sensor built into the display’s front glass. Combining these two separate components into one results in a compact on-cell touch display with good optical performance. The five-point multitouch screen controller is also included. Screened circuits help reduce EMC problems.

The displays are suitable for lightweight applications where an additional front glass would be intrusive or for applications that already feature a front glass for design reasons. The modules have a wide temperature range of -30 to +80°C, plus a 170° viewing angle.

The modules measure 169.8 x 109.7 x 9.2 mm and include a built-in LED driver for easy integration, eliminating the need for additional backlighting components for the display. The LVDS interface ensures easy operation using a 20-pole plug. The touch sensor’s output can be checked using USB or I²C.
