AZ Displays announced its strategic partnership with Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) of Taiwan. "Our partnership with CMO will give AZ Displays' customers a new line of high-performance industrial TFTs in a variety of sizes not previously available," said Vignesh Sanmugam, President, AZ Displays. "The new sizes such as 13.3", 14.1" and 15.4" are developed and priced specifically for the industrial market."

Available in full (4:3) and wide screen (16:9) formats, the new TFT displays feature pioneering technology that provides a broad temperature range of -30 up to +85C and a wide viewing angle of 88/88/88/88. A special low-reflection coating reduces sunlight glare, making the displays ideal for outdoor viewing. The new TFTs come standard with low-maintenance features including quick exchange slots for CCFL tubes and LED bars on many models as well as a LED/CCFL MTBF of 50k hours. Additionally, the TFTs end-of-life policy of 15 months exceeds the industry average.

"AZ Displays understands our customers' unique needs that require one-of-a-kind solution," said Sanmugam. "Our TFTs bring together quality craftsmanship, innovative technologies and competitive prices for an exceptional product, ideal for applications ranging from kiosk systems and open frame monitors to outdoor terminals and avionics."

Chi Mei Optoelectronics' (CMO) commitment to long term support of their products with forward compatibility, outstanding performance specifications and flexible business models makes them an ideal TFT display manufacturer to cater the North American Industrial market place.
