Vertical Alignment Displays
Optical Excellence Meets Sustainability
Vertical Alignment Displays offer true black backgrounds, high contrast and energy efficiency.
They are a cost effective alternative to TFT displays, offered as a custom built solution to bring you a unique design that suits fully your application requirements.
True Black Backgrounds
Combined with Hidden-Until-Lit segments provide exceptionally high contrast ratios, delivering a sharp, easy-to-read display.
Lower Power Consumption
Uses significantly less energy than full colour TFT displays, more suitable for battery powered and sustainable designs.
Wide Viewing Angles
Ensuring excellent readability from the most acute viewing angles.
Colour Options
Using filters with colour gradients without the complexity or cost of a full RGB TFT.
Why Choose Vertical Alignment?
If you need a custom segment LCD but want to enhance its visual impact without the complexity and cost of a TFT.
Unlike TFTs, VA displays do not require advanced GUI development, high-performance MCUs, large memory storage, or increased power consumption. The customised segments and icons act as the GUI, making it easier to implement and more affordable.
For applications where a TFT would be excessive, VA displays offer a smarter, streamlined alternative.
Turning Mono to Colour with Ease
Turning Mono to Colour with Ease
By using the latest printing techniques you can add vibrant colour to your VA display and you’ve transformed a black & white mono display into a colour display very cost effectively.
Printing can be added to the polariser, producing high-resolution prints with an extensive colour gamut, for colourful images and seamless colour gradient effects which can be hidden until lit.
