NL8060BC31-28E: Robust 12.1-inch SVGA Display for Demanding Industrial HMI
Engineered for Clarity and Longevity in Industrial Environments
The NL8060BC31-28E is a 12.1-inch a-Si TFT-LCD module engineered for operational reliability in industrial human-machine interface (HMI) and control panel applications. This display delivers consistent, long-term performance, characterized by its solid optical specifications and durable construction. It provides a balanced solution for systems where readability and stable operation are paramount. With its standard SVGA resolution and robust backlighting system, it addresses the core need for a dependable visual interface in manufacturing, automation, and instrumentation settings. For systems requiring a wider temperature range or higher brightness, the related NL10276AC30-42D offers an alternative feature set.
Product Details for the NL8060BC31-28E a-Si TFT-LCD Module
Delivering proven performance for industrial applications, the NL8060BC31-28E from NEC is a 12.1-inch SVGA display designed to meet the rigorous demands of factory automation, process control, and specialized instrumentation. Its feature set is optimized for systems that require a clear, reliable human-machine interface with stable, long-term availability. The display's 800x600 resolution provides the necessary detail for complex graphical user interfaces, while its standard LVDS interface ensures straightforward integration with a wide array of industrial controllers and embedded systems. This combination of functionality makes it a practical choice for new designs and legacy system upgrades where consistent visual performance is a key engineering requirement.
Application Scenarios & Value
System-Level Benefits in Control and Monitoring Systems
The NL8060BC31-28E is engineered to excel in environments where visual clarity and consistent operation are non-negotiable. Its 12.1-inch diagonal size and 800 x 600 SVGA resolution make it an ideal fit for industrial control panels, medical monitoring equipment, and test and measurement devices. A key engineering challenge in these applications is ensuring that operators can clearly read critical data under typical factory or lab lighting. The module's 350 cd/m² brightness and 600:1 contrast ratio directly address this challenge, providing sufficient luminance and image depth for clear interpretation of GUIs, charts, and diagnostic information. This ensures that system status, warnings, and data points are communicated effectively, reducing the risk of operator error and improving workflow efficiency. For applications demanding higher resolution in a similar form factor, designers might consider the NL10276BC24-21F.
Key Parameter Overview
Decoding the Specs for Industrial Integration
The technical specifications of the NL8060BC31-28E are tailored for reliable integration into industrial systems. The use of a CCFL backlight, while a mature technology, is well-understood and provides a proven service life, a critical factor for equipment with long operational lifecycles. The LVDS interface simplifies the electrical connection to the host system, reducing cable count and minimizing EMI, which is a crucial consideration in electrically noisy industrial environments. Think of the LVDS interface as a dedicated, high-speed lane for data; it ensures the signal from the controller arrives at the display without interference, much like an armored cable protects its contents from external damage. This inherent robustness is essential for maintaining signal integrity and, consequently, a stable, flicker-free image on the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary benefit of the standard SVGA resolution for industrial HMIs?
The 800x600 SVGA resolution provides a well-balanced pixel density for the 12.1-inch screen size. It allows for the clear display of graphical elements, text, and numerical data common in industrial control software without requiring the high-end graphics processing power that higher resolutions demand. This simplifies system design and helps manage overall cost.
How does the LVDS interface benefit system integration?
The Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface uses a low-voltage swing and differential signals to transmit data. This design is inherently more resistant to common-mode noise found in industrial settings, resulting in a more reliable video signal over longer cable runs compared to older TTL interfaces. This enhances system robustness and simplifies the electrical design.
