In locations such as factories, restricted space and power consumption limitations are important issues for display devices. There are enormous demand for compact LCDs, but it can be difficult to overcome the requirements imposed by harsh environments, such as resistance to vibration or temperature extremes. Sharp's Strong LCDs employ new mounting and drive technology, liquid crystal capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures, and backlights designed to provide an extended service life. These TFT LCDs are capable of standing up to physical shocks, vibrations, and variations in temperature. They provide a high degree of reliability in punishing environments, such as applications in manufacturing or distribution. |
