AUO B104SN01 V2 | Reliable 10.4" SVGA Display for Legacy System Integration
The AUO B104SN01 V2 is a cornerstone display for industrial applications, engineered for stability, longevity, and seamless integration. As a 10.4-inch SVGA (800x600) TFT-LCD module, it provides a robust and cost-effective solution for upgrading or maintaining legacy systems that rely on a traditional 4:3 aspect ratio. Its design prioritizes operational reliability over superfluous features, making the B104SN01 V2 a trusted workhorse in demanding environments.
Technical Advantages: Built for Longevity and Efficiency
The true value of the AUO B104SN01 V2 lies in its core engineering choices, which directly address common industrial pain points like maintenance cycles and energy consumption.
- Long-Life WLED Backlight System: Moving away from older Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) technology, this module incorporates a White LED (WLED) backlight. This transition delivers three critical benefits: an extended operational lifespan of 20,000 hours, significantly reduced power consumption, and the elimination of a high-voltage inverter. This simplifies system design, reduces potential points of failure, and ensures compliance with modern environmental standards like RoHS compliance due to its mercury-free construction.
- Optimized for Industrial Environments: The B104SN01 V2 is specified to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C. While its TN (Twisted Nematic) panel technology results in specific viewing angles, it offers a distinct advantage in fast response times, which is crucial for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and control systems where instantaneous feedback on touch or command inputs is necessary.
Solving Real-World Challenges: Application Scenarios
This display is not just a component; it's a problem-solver for specific industrial contexts. Here’s how the AUO B104SN01 V2 adds value:
- Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) & Legacy Automation: Many factory floors run on equipment designed around 10.4" 4:3 panels. The B104SN01 V2 serves as a perfect drop-in replacement, allowing for the modernization of the display unit (with better power efficiency and lifespan) without the costly redesign of the entire machine enclosure.
- Process Control and Monitoring Systems: In applications where a single operator monitors critical data from a fixed position, the panel’s clear SVGA resolution and direct-view performance are ideal. It delivers the necessary information without the added cost of wide-viewing-angle technology.
- Test and Measurement Instruments: For oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other benchtop equipment, the AUO B104SN01 V2 provides a dependable visual interface for displaying waveforms, metrics, and menus. Its standard LVDS interface ensures straightforward integration with existing controller boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the B104SN01 V2 directly replace an older CCFL panel?Yes, in most cases. It is a popular upgrade path. The key advantages are a longer backlight life, lower power draw, and the removal of the fragile, high-voltage CCFL inverter. However, you must ensure your controller board can supply the correct logic and power for the WLED backlight system, or use a compatible LED driver.
- What are the best handling practices for this display module?Like all modern electronic components, the AUO B104SN01 V2 is sensitive to static electricity. Always handle the module in an ESD-safe workstation and wear proper grounding equipment. For more information on best practices, refer to this guide on electrostatic discharge protection. Avoid putting pressure on the screen surface and only handle it by its metal frame.
