NEC NL128102BC28-07 | High-Resolution SXGA Display for Demanding Industrial HMIs
The NEC NL128102BC28-07 is an industrial-grade 10.4-inch TFT-LCD engineered for applications where visual precision, reliability, and long-term availability are non-negotiable. This display moves beyond standard specifications to deliver a combination of high pixel density and robust performance, making it a premier choice for next-generation Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), medical diagnostic equipment, and specialized instrumentation.
- Exceptional Visual Clarity: Features a high-density SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution, rendering complex graphics, fine text, and detailed schematics with outstanding sharpness.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built by NEC, a leader in industrial displays, it ensures stable performance across a wide operating temperature range and is designed for long operational lifecycles.
- Superior Readability: Equipped with a high-luminance white LED backlight and wide viewing angles, ensuring clear visibility for operators in diverse and challenging ambient light conditions.
- Seamless Integration: Utilizes a standard LVDS interface, simplifying the design-in process for a wide array of industrial controllers and single-board computers.
Technical Deep Dive: The Engineering Edge
The NL128102BC28-07 isn't just another screen; its specifications translate directly into tangible engineering advantages. Two core features set it apart in a crowded market: its resolution density and its optical performance.
First, the SXGA resolution in a compact 10.4-inch format provides a significant increase in pixel density over legacy XGA panels. For an engineer designing an HMI for a complex manufacturing process, this means you can display more data points, higher-resolution video feeds, or more detailed control menus on a single screen. This reduces the need for operators to switch between multiple screens or tabs, improving workflow efficiency and reducing the potential for error. The underlying TFT-LCD technology ensures each of these 1.3 million pixels is addressed with precision.
Second, its optical design is purpose-built for industrial environments. The high-luminance backlight is critical for maintaining contrast and readability in factory settings with fluctuating overhead lighting or near windows. Coupled with wide viewing angle technology, this ensures that data is accurately readable not just by the primary operator standing directly in front of the panel, but also by supervisors or team members viewing it from an angle—a crucial factor for collaborative and safety-critical operations.

Frequently Asked Engineering Questions
How does the SXGA resolution on this 10.4" panel benefit my design compared to a standard XGA display?
The primary benefit is a 60% increase in pixel count within the same physical footprint. This allows for significantly sharper fonts and vector graphics, eliminating the jagged edges often seen on lower-resolution displays. For UI designers, it means less compromise—you can fit more information and controls onto the screen without clutter, leading to a more intuitive and powerful user experience.
What are the key considerations for ensuring long-term product availability when designing in the NL128102BC28-07?
NEC has a strong track record of supporting industrial markets with long product lifecycles, which is a key differentiator from consumer-grade panels. When designing this display into a system with a 5-10 year service life, such as medical or industrial control equipment, you are investing in a stable supply chain. We recommend discussing your project lifecycle requirements with our team to ensure alignment with NEC's product roadmap.
