Latest from AndersDX is a new round TFT touch screens aimed specifically at the growing market for wearable electronics, especially in the healthcare and fitness sectors. Manufactured by Guangdong based display module specialist Truly Semiconductor, the round modules are also seen as an attractive option in a number of industrial applications. Commenting, Mike Logan, display and input technology manager, AndersDX, said: "A standard module is available, but the key point here is that 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." The company can offer customers bespoke round touch screens with affordable NRE and tooling cost structures. The standard module has an overall diameter of 37.79mm, and an active area of 30.96mm diameter. The round display can be driven from a 4.6V supply and operates at temperatures of -10C to +60C. The LED backlight runs from a 2.9V power supply.
