NEC NL8060BC31-17D | Industrial SVGA Display with Proven Reliability
The NEC NL8060BC31-17D is a 12.1-inch SVGA amorphous silicon TFT-LCD module engineered for long-term performance in demanding industrial applications. This display provides a robust and visually consistent solution for human-machine interfaces (HMIs), process control systems, and medical diagnostic equipment. Its combination of high luminance, wide viewing angles, and a broad operating temperature range ensures operational integrity and clarity where it matters most.
Built by NEC, a legacy name in display technology, the NL8060BC31-17D delivers the stability required for critical systems. The module integrates a long-life backlight system and utilizes a standard LVDS interface, simplifying integration into both new designs and legacy system retrofits that require a reliable industrial display.
Technical and Operational Advantages
The engineering behind the NL8060BC31-17D focuses on delivering tangible benefits in real-world industrial settings. Its key technical attributes directly translate to improved usability and system longevity. One of the core features is its high-luminance backlight, which produces a typical brightness of 350 cd/m², paired with a 350:1 contrast ratio. This ensures crisp, clear readability under the variable lighting conditions commonly found on factory floors or in medical facilities.
Furthermore, the display is designed for resilience against environmental stress. It supports a wide operating temperature range, allowing for consistent performance in environments where temperature is not strictly controlled. This operational robustness is a critical requirement for equipment deployed in heavy machinery, unheated enclosures, or mobile systems. The use of a standard LVDS interface is another key engineering choice, providing high noise immunity and allowing for longer cable runs between the display and the system controller, which is essential for complex machinery layouts.
