Sharp LQ150X1DW11 | Robust 15.0" XGA Industrial LCD for Legacy Systems
The Sharp LQ150X1DW11 is a workhorse 15.0-inch TFT-LCD panel engineered for unwavering performance in demanding industrial and medical environments. With its classic XGA (1024x768) resolution and robust construction, this display serves as a critical component for maintaining, repairing, and extending the life of existing high-value equipment. It is the go-to solution for applications where reliability and backward compatibility are more critical than cutting-edge specifications, ensuring operational continuity without costly system redesigns.
Technical Deep Dive: Core Strengths
- Proven a-Si TFT-LCD Technology: The **LQ150X1DW11** utilizes an amorphous silicon Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) active matrix. This technology provides excellent pixel control, resulting in a stable, flicker-free image with a solid contrast ratio of 700:1 and a brightness of 400 cd/m². This level of clarity is essential for operators interpreting complex data on Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) or technicians analyzing readouts on test instruments.
- Long-Life CCFL Backlight System: While newer panels use LED, the Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight in the **LQ150X1DW11** is a mature, highly stable technology. It offers a predictable performance curve and an impressive typical lifetime of 50,000 hours. For systems certified and designed around CCFL technology, this ensures consistent brightness and color temperature over the long term, a crucial factor in medical and industrial certification.
- Standardized LVDS Interface: Equipped with a 20-pin Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface, this panel ensures seamless integration with a vast range of industrial motherboards and single-board computers. Careful consideration of PCB design guidelines for high-speed signal interfaces is essential to maintain signal integrity and achieve optimal performance.
