27 July 2011 - Kyoto / Neuss − The Japanese technology corporation Kyocera, a leading manufacturer in the field of electronic devices, is extending its LCD product range by adding a new 7-inch wide viewing angle WVGA module.

Kyocera’s new 7-inch LCD features WVGA resolution, long-life LED backlighting with low power consumption and up to 70,000 hours of operating time, and a viewing angle of 170 degrees, which covers the needs of medical and industrial-use applications. Combined with these features is Kyocera’s ability to provide reliable delivery and long-term availability of the product.

The specially-designed LED backlighting guarantees lower power consumption by utilizing the latest technology for LED chips and light guides. Due to this, the LCD module itself generates less temperature than conventional models. Furthermore, the high contrast ratio of the screen, even when viewed from various angles, allows for use outdoors where sunlight can normally affect readability. Thanks to these benefits, the LCD is ideal for use in industrial and medical applications. An 18-bit RGB connection guarantees easy installation.
Kyocera is actively engaged in the development of environmentally friendly products and strives to reduce the use of environmentally harmful materials and processes in industry fields. The company complies with the EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive.
