February 15, 2007 1-By-16 PLED Drops In To Replace LCD Units
The OSD1601-D is a one-line by 16-character polymetric LED (PLED) display module from OSD Displays. The module's high-contrast yellow-green characters measure 4.51 by 8.6 mm, creating a display active area of 84.31 by 8.6 mm. The display's total overall mechanical dimension is 122 by 33 by 8.9 mm deep. Compared to negative-mode LCD modules, the OSD1601-D saves significant power. The typical current consumption with 25% pixel use and a full screen of characters at 40 nits is...
