New InfoVue™ TFT LCD Modules Feature Extended Temperature Range, Thin Profile and LED Backlight

Lumex announces the global launch of their InfoVue TFT (Thin Film Transistor) family of full color graphic display technology. InfoVue TFT LCDs come in both touch screen and standard formats and feature an extended temperature range, LED backlighting for high contrast, and a thin profile starting at an industry-leading 3mm. InfoVue TFT technology comes with complimentary integration support from Lumex´s team of Technical Design Specialists.
 
Compatible with standard LCD drivers, InfoVue TFT technology is ideal for a wide range of applications including:
  •     industrial control device technology (including user interface technology for automation controls, alternative energy, industrial power and calibration/diagnostics);
  •     medical device technology (including display features on medical radiology equipment, monitors, defibrillators, infusion pumps, blood gases analyzers and ventilators);
  •     test and measurement (including cable testers, calibration instruments and digital multi-meters)
  •     communications equipment (including network routing, enterprise phone systems, servers)

InfoVue TFT LCDs provide an extended temperature range. Whereas standard TFT LCDs operate from 0°C to 60°C, the InfoVue TFT LCD can operate effectively at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 70°C, making the technology an ideal fit for applications that require consistent performance in extended hot and cold environments. 



InfoVue TFT LCDs use LED backlights which further increase the contrast. This method allows for much richer colors and darker blacks than available with alternative technologies such as CCFLs (compact fluorescent lamps).  Whereas CCFL can offer a contrast of 150:1, an LED backlight allows for a contrast of 500:1.

“Lumex is launching its InfoVue TFT technology with complimentary product integration support that is unparalleled in the industry,” explained Brian Coates, Technical Sales Manager at Lumex. “Lumex Technical Design Specialists can integrate the TFT technology with touch screens, switches, connectors, cables covers, heaters, custom daughter boards and other key components to create solutions that maximize performance and efficiency in each individual application.”
 
This complimentary integration support generates cost savings, speeds time to market and reduces opportunity for product failure due to integration issues

The RoHs compliant InfoVue TFT LCDs are available in standard and touch-screen formats in 3.5”, 4.3”, 5.7” and 7.0” diagonal screen sizes.  The resistive type touch-screens operate in a 4 bit parallel interface and operate well over the entire operating temperature range of the display.

Pricing is approximately $30 to $150 per unit in production quantities dependent on size and quantity ordered. Touch screen TFTs are available in stock from Lumex’s strategic distribution partners immediately.   Standard lead time for non-touch screen technologies is approximately seventeen weeks.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
