Temperature and Humidity Resistant LCD Modules – Display Solutions for Solar Inverter or EV Charging Applications

Application Spotlight, October 2018

LCD display on solar inverter , AZ Displays LCD panelAZ Displays has integrated high-end polarizers and liquid crystal fluid into a select list of LCD monochromatic modules, capable of passing stringent 85C /85% RH (Relative Humidity) 1000 hours reliability test conditions. These LCD modules have an enhanced operating temperature of -30C to 80C.
At low temperatures, the liquid crystal fluid maintains its viscosity, allowing the IC to refresh the data logic without any latency in the response time. At the high extreme of the operating temperature spectrum, the polarizer and adhesive materials are able to withstand the heat without warping the film and damaging the optical performance of the LCD module.
Application Example: Solar Inverters and/or EV Charging Stations
In the recent past, AZ Displays has supported a range of design activities in the Solar application and Electric Vehicle charging markets.
These applications call for compact and robust designs at competitive prices, which are supported by AZ Displays with the following LCD modules:

Series Description
Viewing Area
ACM1602KW 16 x 2 alphanumeric LCD module 64.5 x 16.4 mm
ACM2004D 20 x 4 alphanumeric LCD module 76.0 x 25.2 mm
AQM2416 240 x 160 dot matrix LCD module 78.5 x 47.5 mm

In addition to meeting the stringent quality requirements to withstand high temperature and humidity exposure, our displays also support “smart management” features, in form of a visual interface designed to help control the overall PV or EV application.

AZ Displays provides industrial grade TFT LCD solution for ignition interlock breathalyzer

Application Spotlight July 2017

breathThe Design
Ignition Interlock breathalyzer devices have become a standard mandatory requirement for DUI first time offenses in many states, causing an exponential increase in market demand. A leading device manufacturer has developed a low cost, yet high-tech, breathalyzer that has led the market in accuracy, response time, and affordability. AZ Displays provided this manufacturer with their ATM0177B3A, a small 1.77″ color LCD display, capable of depicting instructions to the driver with sharp contrast and good readability, a crucial factor when considering the safety of the driver.

About the Ignition Interlock Market
DUI offenders are required to purchase or lease ignition interlock devices at their own expense. Manufactures have therefore been faced with the challenge of providing cost-effective solutions, while still meeting safety requirements and maintaining all the standards imposed by law enforcement. The AZ Displays LCD solution in this instance made it possible to engineer a device that addresses all these challenges by offering a simple-to-use visual interface that is also ruggedized enough to be leased to the driver, therefore minimizing the cost of the device to the end user.
