Kyocera TCG070WV, TCG104XG and TCG121XG TFT LCDs with PCAP touch screens

Kyocera has announced three TFT LCDs with projected capacitive (PCAP) touch screens, suitable for medical equipment, factory automation, test and measurement, and marine applications. PCAP touch screens are highly sensitive and can support multiple touches, with the screen activated by gentle contact.

Kyocera’s 7″ TFT LCD with PCAP (TCG070WV) features 800 x 480 resolution, 800 cd/m² brightness for outdoor sunlight readability and a 750:1 contrast ratio. The 10.4″ TCG104XG features 1024 x 768 resolution, 1040 cd/m² brightness for outdoor sunlight readability and 700:1 contrast ratio. The 12.1″ TCG121XG features 1024 x 768 resolution, with a brightness of 960 cd/m² and contrast ratio of 750:1.

The touchscreen surface features anti-glare and anti-fingerprint treatments and offers the option of either I²C or USB touch interface. All three products incorporate advanced wide view (AWV) technology and achieve 170° viewing angles from both vertical and horizontal directions. They also feature an LVDS interface and a wide operating temperature range of -30 to 80°C.

It’s easy to incorporate Kyocera’s PCAP LCD displays into compact equipment designs, because no additional components are required to drive the backlights. The company’s constant-current, high-efficiency LED driver circuit is integrated into the LCD module, providing the backlighting with a long LED lifetime of 70,000 h.
