OREANDA-NEWS. January 23, 2013. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today the launch of 8.4-inch SVGA, 9.0-inch WXGA and 10.6-inch WXGA color TFT-LCD modules with projected capacitive touch panels that enable intuitive operation even with gloved hands. Sales will begin on February 8 at Mitsubishi Electric offices worldwide (www.MitsubishiElectric.com/semiconductors). Initial production has been set at 2,000 units per month for each model.

Mitsubishi Electric' s existing models, launched on July 19, 2012, are 6.5-inch VGA, 10.4- and 12.1-inch XGA modules offering excellent visual clarity combined with durable 2.8mm cover glass. The three newly announced modules include one 4:3 aspect model and two with wide aspects, thereby offering additional options for industrial applications of high-quality touch-panel screens.
Highly reliable and widely applicable touch-panel solutions - Wide range of solutions, including TFT-LCD, PCAP touch panel, touch controller and driver software, making these three modules ideal choices for diverse industrial applications.
- TFT-LCD, PCAP touch panel, cover glass and touch controller are factory-installed, ensuring excellent reliability.
