Sharp - Microsite
Sharp Microelectronics is a world's leader in devices that reduce parts count, board size and cost by packing the highest performance into the lowest dimensions, helping engineers throughout the world to realise their own design ambitions and bring them to market. For instance, Sharp's industrial grade high brightness LCDs with LED backlight for e-kiosk and vending machine applications combine the backlight power needed with the flexibility to control display brightness for a brilliant image performance under ever changing ambient light conditions. The latest high brightness models even have the driving unit for Pulse Width Modulated dimming already on board, slashing users' design-in overhead. Furthermore, extended operating temperatures from -20°C up to 60°C ensure functionality of the display as human-machine-interface (HMI) even under harsh outdoor climate conditions. The Sharp product range includes :
