Latest generation IPS-Pro from Hitachi delivers exceptional optical performance for high-end applications

Hitachi launched the 17-inch SXGA TX43D57VC0CAA and the 17-inch WXGA TX43D55VM0BAA which, for the first time, bring the superior performance of IPS-Pro to industrial LCD displays. IPS-Pro, the latest evolution of Hitachi’s In-Plane Switching technology provides a stable colour image from any viewing angle.

These new display products offer excellent colour saturation with very high contrast ratios. The black level of both displays combined with improved transmittance helps to provide contrast ratios of up to 1000:1. These characteristics also mean that high brightness can be achieved without increasing the power consumption of the backlight.

“With the launch of these two LCD displays, customers in a wide variety of industrial and professional markets can now benefit from the high contrast and wide viewing angles achieved by IPS-Pro technology. For applications where absolute image quality is paramount these displays deliver unparalleled performance,” says Steve Donohoe, Technical Manager for Hitachi Display Products Group. “Previously LCD displays using IPS-Pro were only available to a restricted customer base, but Hitachi is now committed to offering the performance and product lifecycle required by industrial applications.”

Significant customer interest has already been expressed in both models for integration into a wide range of high-end, multi-viewer applications which demand high optical performance. Both models are ideally suited for use in public information displays, medical diagnostic systems and monitoring applications. Security surveillance and traffic monitoring as well as video broadcast applications are also being explored.

The 17-inch SXGA TX43D57VC0CAA offers a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and brightness of 270cd/m². The display has outline dimensions of 368(w) x 306(h) x 19.8(d) and weighs in at 2200g.

The WXGA TX43D55VM0BAA has a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels, with a contrast ratio of 800:1 and brightness of 370cd/m². Again weight is 2200g although the outline dimensions change to 400(w) x 258(h) x 22(d) in line with the widescreen profile.

The IPS-Pro technology used in both displays ensures viewing angles of 170 degrees in both horizontal and vertical planes, without significant reduction in contrast. Both models feature a long-lifetime CCFL backlighting unit.
