128-x-32 LED Displays Incorporate Drive Electronics And Video Interface

A pair of bright red and neon orange LED displays are designed to serve as solid-state alternatives to plasma displays. The two 128-x-32 LED displays include drive electronics and a +5-V HC CMOS-level video interface. Designed as replacements for APD-128G032 plasma display module, the displays offer designers a choice of bright red (LEE-128G032B) or neon orange (LEE-128G032-1) colors. Both supply high brightness and superior viewing characteristics in a slim package. The LEE-128G032x LED displays have four to five times the life of a plasma display, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. With a 12.75-in. by 3.15-in. viewing area, they are optimized for low- to medium-level information content and are suited for applications such as pinball machines and other arcade games, slot and gaming machines, process control, POS terminals, medical equipment, message centers, and automatic teller machines. Featuring a 1.1-in. profile, the LEE-128G032x displays have large 0.65-in. by 0.45-in. characters for long-distance readability, offer a high contrast ratio of > 30:1, and provide a wide viewing angle of > 150°. The LEE-128G032-1 display provides all the same features but also provides an identical matching color for displays built on plasma technology, compared to which it uses only half as much power from a single ±5-V supply. Single-piece and production quantities of the LED displays are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for larger orders. Pricing is under $200 for the LEE-128G032B and under $250 for the LEE-128032-1. VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC., Malvern, PA. (605) 665-9301.
