Focus Display Solutions will be showcasing VATNs at booth 1626. VATNs are new cutting-edge technology and more and more design engineers are inquiring about them. This Q&A will be very beneficial in helping design engineers with their design decisions.
Q: What is a VATN display?
A: A VATN display is a type of newer LCD technology that has excellent contrast and a wide viewing angle. LCDs contain a fluid that is oval shaped. VATN allows the fluid to rotate to a vertical angle allowing more light to pass through. This produces a brighter display with a sharper contrast.
Q: What does VATN stand for?
A: Vertically Aligned Twisted Nematic is a description of how the fluid is positioned with respect to the LCD glass.
Q: Does VATN replace any older LCD technologies?
A: Yes! VATNs are a great alternative to VFD & LED displays. VATN is less expensive and the tooling cost to customize is also lower.
Q: What advantages do VATNs have over other LCD technologies?
A: VATNs have high contrast, no hot spots, are less expensive, have shorter lead times and a wider viewing angle. They also are less likely to go end of life.
Q: What industries are VATNs used in?
A: VATNs are used in Medical, Automotive, Aviation, Industrial, Marine, Monitoring, RF/Communications and Navigation.
