2.8" Sunlight-Readable TFT IPS Display

Display Visions' 2.8” sunlight-readable TFT IPS delivers the same high-quality images, graphics, and versatility found in previous Display Visions' TFT displays, but has in-plane-switching (IPS) technology to improve the shortcomings of twisted nematic (TN) LCD panels. With superior color reproduction, excellent viewing angles (160°), and better contrast these TFT IPS displays are sunlight-readable and ideal for outdoor use.

The 2.8” TFT IPS displays offer 240 x 320 resolution, a wide temperature range, and feature a powerful backlight to provide an extremely high brightness rating of 1,000 cd/m² or 800 cd/m². These displays are perfect for displaying colorful, high-quality graphics and images on a small screen and run directly at 3.3 V requiring no additional auxiliary voltage. The SPI interface guarantees simple control with common microcontrollers due to integrated display RAM. The display can be addressed via a classic RGB interface. Connection to an 8- or 16-bit data bus is possible.

One connector combines the control lines of the display, the backlight, and the optional touch panel with 39 pins at a 0.5 mm pitch. The version with a capacitive touch surface with an I²C controller is called EA TFT020-23AITC. This version measures 43 mm x 65 mm and the touch panel (PCAP) is optically bonded for a clear and low-reflection display. Since both models were designed as handheld displays for heavy-duty outdoor use, they can operate within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. Their service life amounts to 50,000 hours.
