## KOE SX25S004 | 10.0" XGA Industrial TFT with Ultra-Wide Viewing Angle & 70k Hour Backlight
The KOE SX25S004 is an industrial-grade 10.0-inch TFT-LCD engineered for applications demanding exceptional visual performance, uncompromising reliability, and long-term operational stability. This display moves beyond standard specifications, delivering tangible engineering advantages for complex Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), diagnostic equipment, and control systems where data integrity and clarity are non-negotiable.
### Core Strengths for Demanding Environments
* **Superior Visuals:** A combination of XGA (1024x768) resolution, 500 cd/m² brightness, and an 800:1 contrast ratio ensures sharp, legible content in typical factory and indoor environments.
* **Ultra-Wide Viewing Angles:** Symmetrical 80/80/80/80 degree viewing angles prevent color inversion and contrast shift, critical for multi-person viewing or off-axis installations.
* **Engineered for Longevity:** The high-efficiency LED backlight is rated for a 70,000-hour lifetime (to half brightness), significantly reducing total cost of ownership and maintenance cycles.
* **Industrial-Grade Durability:** With an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, the SX25S004 is built to withstand challenging thermal conditions found in unconditioned industrial settings.
### Technical Deep Dive: Where Engineering Meets Application
Two key features set the KOE SX25S004 apart: its viewing angle technology and its backlight system. These are not just datasheet numbers; they are deliberate design choices that solve common engineering problems.
**1. UWVA (Ultra-Wide Viewing Angle) Technology:** Unlike standard TN (Twisted Nematic) panels that suffer from dramatic color and contrast shifts when viewed from an angle, this display utilizes advanced technology akin to IPS. For an engineer, this means design freedom. The HMI can be mounted in a fixed position, yet remain perfectly readable for operators of different heights or from various positions on the factory floor. This consistency is vital in applications like medical imaging or process control, where misinterpreting a color or value could have significant consequences. This wide Viewing Angle performance ensures that the data displayed is the data perceived, regardless of the operator's perspective.
**2. Extended-Life LED Backlight:** A 70,000-hour backlight is a strategic component for reliability-focused systems. In a 24/7 operation, this translates to nearly 8 years of continuous use before the backlight reaches half its initial brightness. This drastically reduces maintenance schedules, service calls, and system downtime, directly impacting the TCO of the end product. For equipment destined for remote or hard-to-service locations, such as digital signage or specialized test equipment, this level of reliability is a primary design driver.
### Application Focus: Delivering Value Where It Counts
The robust feature set of the SX25S004 makes it a prime candidate for a variety of specialized industrial LCD displays applications:
* **Industrial HMIs & Process Control:** The wide operating temperature and anti-glare surface ensure reliable operation on the factory floor, from food processing to automated assembly lines.
* **Medical Diagnostic Equipment:** The consistent, accurate color reproduction from any angle is essential for non-diagnostic viewing stations, patient monitoring systems, and laboratory instruments.
* **Test and Measurement:** The clarity and stability of the display allow engineers and technicians to accurately read complex waveforms and measurement data from oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other benchtop devices.
* **Public Transport & Information Displays:** The long-life backlight and robust build are ideal for information kiosks and in-vehicle displays, where continuous operation and low maintenance are paramount.

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
**Q1: Is the KOE SX25S004 suitable for direct sunlight applications?**
With 500 nits of brightness, the SX25S004 is excellent for bright indoor environments and is considered "semi-outdoor" readable, meaning it performs well in shaded outdoor areas or within a vehicle cabin. For applications in direct, bright sunlight, a display with 1000 nits or more is typically recommended. For more information, explore our guide to sunlight readable HMIs.
**Q2: Is the LED backlight replaceable?**
Yes, the SX25S004 is designed with a replaceable LED backlight unit. This design philosophy aligns with its focus on long-term serviceability, allowing for the extension of the product's life well beyond the already impressive 70,000-hour backlight rating. This is a critical feature for systems designed for a service life of a decade or more, reflecting a commitment to engineering for extremes.
