Ultra low power TFT

Yes, you can go low and high at the same time. Take, for example, our new TFT and touch technology – its power consumption is ultra-low, but its performance? We think you get where we’re coming from.

But you’re used to great performance from Avnet Displays, right? It’s what we do. However, what’s really interesting here is how our new Ultra Low Power TFT maintains that performance even for reliability-critical battery-operated devices – like those in medical settings or industrial controls.

By using fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) transistors and a thin buried oxide layer, we’ve been able to achieve truly outstanding energy efficiency, with low-voltage operation reducing both active and standby power. To you, this means a bright, high quality, full color display with no backlighting required, putting ePaper or MIP displays in the back seat for a whole host of applications. Especially when you learn how impressively customizable and functional our new Ultra Low Power TFTs are:
 

  • Flexible design: The display can be tailored to suit specific applications – in size, shape, even adding a curved screen.
  • Self and mutual capacitance sensing: enhanced waterproof and glove-touch capabilities.
  • Thick cover support: operates seamlessly with glass thicknesses up to 3.0mm and plastic covers up to 2.5mm.
  • Ultra-low power modes: Active Mode: 1.1mA, Sleep Mode: 7μA, Deep Sleep Mode: 1μA
  • Wake-up functionality: an independent self-key wakes up the device instantly

Dynamic performance? Check. High quality visuals? Check. Design versatility? Check. You might say this is a low-effort choice with a high return.
