In industrial areas, touchscreens are exposed to many challenges. Not only do they have to resist dirt and moisture, but they also have to be easy to operate with gloves, some of which are very thick. The situation is particularly difficult when acrylic glass panes are to be used to protect the touch sensor. A PMMA pane shields the signal of a PCAP touch sensor much more than a glass pane of the same thickness. Our engineers have intensively studied this topic and adapted the touch controller to the situation.

The Solomon Goldentek GKTS80MNFG1E1 is a bar-type TFT display with a resolution of 1600x480 pixels. Due to its brightness of 500cd/m² and a wide viewing angle of 85° from all directions, thanks to IPS technology, it is perfect for advertising, information or status displays in e.g. coffee machines, vending machines or laboratory equipment. The content can also be perfectly read when viewed from the side, when passing by or in an overhead installation.

TFT displays in special formats are real eye-catchers, which are getting more and more popular. There are some small-formats available in round and square displays as standard products. Now we are pleased to present the new G170HAN01.1, an AUO square TFT display with a resolution of 1920x1920 pixels and a 17 inch diagonal at an extremely attractive price. In an active area of 30.5 by 30.5cm and with a brightness of 350cd/m², the AHVA wide viewing angle display shows your content perfectly from all directions.

The IB918 is a 3.5-inch single-board computer (SBC) from iBASE which is perfectly suited for use in visual industrial applications. The compact SBC-board includes the powerful AMD® Ryzen™ V1000 embedded processor or alternatively its little brother R1000 and controls up to four TFT displays. In addition to the powerful graphics, demanding industrial applications benefit from the long-term availability and robust design. It has a wide DC input range from 12 to 24 volts and is suitable for an operating temperature range from 0 to +60°C.

On 20 December 2020, the new safety standard EN 62368-1 for monitors will replace the existing standards EN 60950-1 and EN 60065. From this date on, only monitors that comply with the new safety standard may be sold. The new standard applies, just like the two previous standards, to electronic equipment in the audio, video, information and communication technology sector up to a nominal voltage of 600V and thus also affects the Distec monitor lines.

With an official letter, Tianma has renewed the promise of long-term product availability for its TFT displays and informed about the extensive precautions that ensure a stable supply situation.
