Product Overview: Key Specifications & Engineering Value
Engineered for Clarity and Durability in Demanding Environments
The LG Display LM150X08-TLC1 is a 15.0-inch a-Si TFT-LCD module designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance in industrial, medical, and point-of-sale (POS) applications. Its core value lies in providing a stable and proven XGA resolution platform with operational resilience across a wide temperature range. Featuring a 1024x768 resolution, a luminance of 250 nits, and an anti-glare surface treatment, this panel ensures clear data visualization and operator comfort. Key specifications include a standard 4:3 aspect ratio and a single-channel LVDS interface, simplifying integration with established system architectures. The panel's robust design addresses the core engineering need for long-term operational stability in environments where reliability is paramount. With its specified wide operating temperature range, the LM150X08-TLC1 is an optimal choice for non-climate-controlled factory floors or embedded kiosk systems.

Application Scenarios & Value
Reliable Visualization for Critical Systems
The LM150X08-TLC1 is engineered as a foundational component for systems where uptime and consistent readability are critical. Its XGA resolution and standard 4:3 aspect ratio make it an ideal drop-in solution or upgrade for a vast installed base of industrial machinery and control panels. The anti-glare surface is a key feature, minimizing reflections from overhead factory lighting. This is analogous to using a matte-finish photograph instead of a glossy one in a brightly lit room; it prevents distracting glares, reducing operator error and eye strain during long shifts.
Key application areas include:
- Industrial Automation HMI: Providing clear, stable visuals for process monitoring and control systems on manufacturing floors.
- Medical Instrumentation: Serving as the primary display for diagnostic equipment and patient monitoring systems that require proven, long-lifecycle components.
- Point of Sale (POS) Terminals: Offering a durable and readable interface for retail and hospitality environments.
- Test and Measurement Equipment: Displaying critical data with clarity for laboratory and field-based instrumentation.
For systems that demand a higher resolution or different interface technologies, exploring options like the G156XW01 V1 may provide additional design flexibility.
Application Vignette
Enhancing a Legacy CNC Machine Control Panel
Consider a scenario involving the refurbishment of a fleet of computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines. The original CRT monitors have become unreliable, with fading brightness and image burn-in. The primary engineering challenge is to find a replacement display that is mechanically compatible, electrically simple to integrate with the existing 3.3V LVDS signal, and robust enough to withstand the machine shop environment, which includes fluctuating temperatures and potential for glare from high-intensity lighting.
The LM150X08-TLC1 emerges as a strong candidate. Its 15.0-inch size and XGA resolution match the legacy system's output, eliminating the need for complex video scaling hardware. The standard 20-pin LVDS connector allows for straightforward interfacing. The panel's specified operating temperature of 0 to 50 °C provides sufficient margin for the typical machine shop floor. Most importantly, the anti-glare surface directly addresses the issue of readability under workshop lighting, ensuring that machine operators can accurately read coordinates and tool paths without being hindered by reflections. By integrating the LM150X08-TLC1, the refurbishment project achieves its goal of extending the operational life of valuable capital equipment with a modern, reliable, and clear visualization solution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the backlight type of the LM150X08-TLC1 and what does it imply for system design?
The LM150X08-TLC1 utilizes a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight system. This requires a separate, external inverter to provide the high voltage necessary to power the lamps. Designers must account for the space and power requirements of this inverter module during system integration.
Is the LM150X08-TLC1 suitable for outdoor applications?
With a typical luminance of 250 nits and an operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, the LM150X08-TLC1 is designed for indoor industrial environments. It is not suitable for direct sunlight applications. For outdoor or high-ambient-light conditions, a display with significantly higher brightness (typically 1000 nits or more) and a wider temperature range would be required.
