Low-Power, sunlight readable display

The DV3002 is a rugged, 2 × 16, sunlight readable, Chip-on-Glass LCD. Capable of surviving extreme temperatures from –20°C to 70°C and high humidity (90% RH), it has an MTBF in excess of 100,000 hours and draws only 50 µA during normal operation at 5 V. The DV3002 is ideal for battery-powered applications where weight and harsh environment are likely to be encountered (e.g., such as on process control equipment, mobile data-collection devices, and hand-held instrumentation).

The device measures only 69.5 mm × 2.85 mm × 25.05 mm yet has a display area of 61 × 15.1 mm. Its STN fluid in positive mode also offers a wide viewing angle and excellent readability under sunlight. The built-in LCD controller incorporates a character generator providing 225 different 5 × 7 alphanumeric patterns and symbols to minimize programming efforts. Other display control functions include blink character, display and cursor on/off, display and cursor shift, and display clear. The high-speed 8-bit interface allows direct connection to many microprocessors. Alternatively, a 4-bit parallel interface may be used. No external clock is required for RAM read/write operations. Standard interface for the DV3002 is via a 14-way 1.0-mm pitch flex cable (optional pin or elastomeric connections are available to solve difficult PCB mounting problems).

The DV3002 starts at $5.28 each in 5000-piece quantities.
