Display Specs




   Display Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   DLP Display
 
     Digital light processing (DLP) uses an array of small mirrors on a semiconductor. Each mirror is a pixel; the mirrors move quickly to produce an image.
 
   Electroluminescent Display
 
     Electroluminescent displays (ELDs) sandwich a thin phosphorescent film between two plates. One plate is coated with vertical wires. The other is coated with horizontal wires. Together, the plates form a grid. When an electrical current is passed through horizontal and vertical wires, the phosphorescent film at the intersection glows, creating a point of light or pixel.

ELDs are emissive devices that do not shutter the light source like liquid crystal displays (LCD). They are best-suited for applications which require high visibility for all-light conditions.
 
   LCD Display
 
     Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) sandwich a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Passing an electric current through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. In this way, each crystal acts as a shutter, either allowing or blocking the passage of light.
 
   LED Display
 
     Arrays of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used in high-resolution displays. LEDs are PN junction devices that emit light radiation when biased in the forward direction.
 
   OLED Display
 
     Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a special type of LED that uses organic compounds in the emissive layer.
 
   Plasma Display
 
     In a plasma display, a gas fills the spaces between two glass sheets that are lined up in parallel and separated by a gap just 100 to 200 microns wide. Ultraviolet (UV) light is generated by discharging the gas and using electrodes. Red, green, and blue fluorescent substances absorb these UV discharges and then re-radiate the energy as visible light, producing the colors that appear on the screen.
 
   SED Display
 
     Surface conduction electron emitters (SEDs) use an electron emitter to excite a phosphor layer for each pixel. SEDs offer many of the advantages of traditional CRTs, but in a flat-screen format. 
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary display types.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   LCD Matrix Type:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   AMLCD
 
     Active matrix LCDs (AMLCDs) use metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes or thin-film transistors (TFT) at each pixel to control the pixel’s on / off state. To fabricate an AMLCD, the front transparent electrode is deposited over the entire glass surface and serves as a ground electrode. The rear glass is deposited with a matrix of transistors (at least one per pixel for monochrome and at least three per pixel for RGBr) and metal interconnect lines. Even with redundant transistors at each pixel, some pixels fail to operate, resulting in quality assurance problems that have restricted economical, high-volume AMLCDs to an 8" - 10" range.
 
   PMLCD
 
     Passive matrix LCDs (PMLCDs) are the most common flat panel display. PMLCDs have closely-spaced, transparent, horizontal metal electrodes on one glass-plate, and vertical electrodes on the other plate. Voltages on these row and column electrodes combine at a cross point to turn-on the pixel at that point.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Display Technology:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   ChLCD
 
     Cholesteric liquid crystals (ChLCDs) use the pitch of the liquid crystals to reflect light of desired wavelengths.
 
   CSTN
 
     Color super-twist nematic (CSTN) video technology is found in portable, laptop and handheld devices. CSTN is similar to LCD technology.
 
   DSTN
 
     Double layer super-twist nematic (DSTN) video display technology is used in laptop, portable and handheld devices. DSTN is a passive-matrix LCD technology that uses two display layers to counteract the color-shifting that occurs with conventional super-twist displays.
 
   HPA
 
     High-performance addressing (HPA) is a passive-matrix technology that offers better response times and contrast than CSTN.
 
   MVA
 
     Multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA) displays have fast response times, wide viewing angles, and a high contrast ratio; however, they suffer from diminished brightness and color reproduction.
 
   PVA
 
     Patterned vertical alignment (PVA) displays have fast response times, wide viewing angles, and a very high contrast ratio; however, they suffer from diminished brightness and color reproduction.
 
   S-IPS
 
     Super in-plane switching (S-IPS) provides better viewing angles and color then other technologies. S-IPS displays are used widely in larger panels. 
 
   TFT
 
     Thin-film transistor (TFT) or active-matrix displays produce color images that are as sharp as traditional CRT displays. TFTs are fabricated in a manner similar to integrated circuits (ICs). Much of the manufacturing equipment, materials, and accumulated knowledge about silicon is applicable to the TFT fabrication process.
 
   TN
 
     Twisted nematic (TN) displays have small viewing angles and provide poor color. They are relatively inexpensive to produce, a consideration which makes them very popular.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary display technologies. 
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Video Standards:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   QVGA (320 x 240)
 
     Quarter-video graphics array (QVGA) is a small display used in mobile devices.
 
   VGA (640 x 480)
 
     Video graphics array (VGA) is a video display circuit and adapter technology that supports text and graphics for personal computers (PC). VGA supports text at a maximum resolution of 80 x 25 characters in 16 colors. Graphics are supported at a maximum resolution of 320 x 200 pixels in 256 colors, or 640 x 480 pixels in 16 colors.
 
   SVGA (800 x 600)
 
     Super video graphics array (SVGA) is a set of graphics standards that provides greater resolution than VGA. There are several varieties of SVGA, each with a different resolution. All SVGA standards support a palette of 16 million colors, but the number of colors that can be displayed simultaneously is limited by the amount of video memory installed. One SVGA system may be able to display 256 colors simultaneously. Another may be able to display the entire palette of 16 million colors. SVGA standards are developed by a consortium of monitor and graphics manufacturers called VESA.
 
   XGA (1024 x 768)
 
     Extended graphics array (XGA) is a high-resolution graphics standard that is designed to replace the older 8514/A video standard. XGA provides the same resolution as 8514/A (640 x 480 or 1024 x 768), but supports 65,000 simultaneous colors instead of 8514/A's 256 colors. In addition, XGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced.
 
   WXGA (1280 x 800)
 
     Widescreen extended graphics array (WXGA) is the widescreen format of XGA. WXGA is popular in television displays and has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
 
   SXGA (1280 x 1024)
 
     Super extended graphics array (SXGA) provides a higher resolution (1280 x 1024) than XGA (1024 x 768). Like XGA, however, SXGA can display more than 16 million colors and support 65,000 colors simultaneously. SXGA is sometimes called XGA2.
 
   SXGA+ (1400 x 1050)
 
     Super extended graphics array plus (SXGA+) is a set of graphic standards that provides higher resolution (1400 x 1050) than SXGA (1280 x 1024).
 
   WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050)
 
     Widescreen super extended graphics array plus (WSXGA+) displays 1680 x 1050 pixels.  WSXGA+ is the widescreen format of SXGA+, but is not approved by any organization.
 
   UXGA (1600 x 1200)
 
     Ultra extended graphics array (UXGA) is a set of graphics standards which provides higher resolution (1600 x 1200) than either XGA (1024 x 768) or SXGA (1280 x 1024). Like XGA and SXGA, however, UXGA can display more than 16 million colors and can support 65,000 colors simultaneously.
 
   WUXGA (1920 x 1200)
 
     Widescreen ultra extended graphics array (WUXGA) is the widescreen format of UXGA.  WUXGA is designed to provide higher resolution (1920 x 1200) than either XGA (1024 x 768) or SXGA (1280 x 1024). Like XGA and SXGA, however, WUXGA can display more than 16 million colors and support 65,000 colors simultaneously.
