New 7-inch Embedded Display Module Offers Wide Viewing Angle

May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Reach Technology Inc., a recognized leader in Embedded Touch Screens, today announced a new 7-inch display module that gives customers access to the wide WVGA screen size that offers extended control area. The module uses a 7-inch LED backlight TFT panel suitable for industrial, long-life applications.

Reach Technology’s 7-inch module comes complete with an SLCD5+ controller board, LCD, backlight driver, and touch screen. Reach’s display module technology and simple-to-use programming tools make GUI interface and integration easy. This helps customers reduce time-to-market and development costs. The company is currently in full production.

The 7-inch LCD is an ideal size for a broad range of control surfaces. The wide screen ratio creates an ideal user interface space and gives customers looking for a screen larger than 5.7-inches a good value. Even though the 7-inch module is nearly as wide as the 8.4-inch module, it costs 40% less.

“We offer a low-risk option for embedded engineers to include 7-inch color touch control surfaces in their products,” said Jonathan More, president for Reach Technology. “Our low-cost development kit contains everything an embedded engineer needs to get a color touch interface up and running in a matter of days.”
