Round touchscreen for wearable and industrial applications

AndersDX has unveiled round TFT touch screens, manufactured by Truly Semiconductors. The displays are aimed specifically at the wearable electronics market, especially in the healthcare and fitness sectors, but also in a number of industrial applications.

Mike Logan, display and input technology manager of andersDX said: "A standard module is available, but we can work with customers to create the display they actually need. Wearables are by definition a highly style conscious market, and with our affordable NRE and tooling cost structures most customers will be able to specify the exact size they want rather than compromise with an off-the-shelf standard product."

AndersDX claims it can offer customers bespoke and affordable round touch screens. The standard module has an overall diameter of 37.79mm, and an active area of 30.96mm diameter. The display can be driven from a 4.6V supply and operates at temperatures of -10 to 60°C. The LED backlight runs from a 2.9V power supply.
