Which Innolux 15 and 27 Inch Industrial TFT Displays Offer the Best Value?
June 7, 2017
For a 15-inch design, the Innolux G150XNE-L01 offers the strongest price/performance in its class: XGA resolution, a wide symmetrical viewing angle, 500 cd/m² and a -30 to +80°C operating range. For large-format designs, the 27-inch S270HR1-A01 (full HD) and S270DR1-A01 (UHD) combine 700 cd/m² brightness with an attractive price. We supply all three from Ronkonkoma, New York, as a bare panel or as a ready-to-connect kit with controller and cables.
Which Innolux displays are current?
| Display | Size and resolution | Brightness | Interface | Operating range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G150XNE-L01 | 15 inch, 1024 × 768 | 500 cd/m² | LVDS | -30 to +80°C |
| S270HR1-A01 | 27 inch, 1920 × 1080 | 700 cd/m² | LVDS | -20 to +60°C |
| S270DR1-A01 | 27 inch, 3840 × 2160 | 700 cd/m² | eDP | -20 to +60°C |
What makes the G150XNE-L01 a good 15-inch choice?
It is the wide-angle version of Innolux’s popular G150XGE-L04, so it drops into the same designs. Its symmetrical viewing angle of 176°/176° (horizontal and vertical) keeps it readable from the side, and at 500 cd/m² it is brighter than its predecessor. The XGA resolution, the -30 to +80°C operating range, the space-saving LED backlight converter built into the panel and the LVDS interface are the same on both. Innolux also introduced an eDP version, the G150XNE-E01. For more brightness, we also list the G150XNE-L01-V570, a FORTEC Integrated version of the panel rated at 800 cd/m².
Which older Innolux 15-inch displays are discontinued?
The G150XGE-L04 itself is now end-of-life, and so is the R150XJE-L01, a 15-inch XGA display whose MVA technology gave a 170°/170° viewing angle for landscape or portrait use, at 350 cd/m² and -10 to +65°C. Both were compatible with each other, which is why the G150XNE-L01 is the natural path forward for designs built around either. Our obsolescence management service handles the move, and other discontinued parts are on our EOL products page.
Where do the 27-inch Innolux displays fit?
They fit large-format industrial and signage designs that need image quality without a premium price. The two share identical outer dimensions, so one housing can take either. The S270HR1-A01 delivers full HD over LVDS; the S270DR1-A01 delivers UHD over eDP, for more detailed images and larger data volumes. Both offer 700 cd/m², high contrast and rich color saturation, a wide symmetrical viewing angle for readability from the side, and an extended operating range of -20 to +60°C for more demanding thermal conditions.
Can you get an Innolux display as a complete kit?
Yes. We supply each of these displays as a plug-and-play kit with a TFT controller from our Prisma series and all the necessary cables, so it runs straight from a standard video source. Our post on how Prisma TFT controllers simplify display integration explains the approach, and for an eDP panel such as the S270DR1-A01, see how to drive an eDP display from an LVDS controller or SBC. We can also add a matching touchscreen, or an optically bonded front glass to protect the display from its environment.
Tell us where the display has to work and what drives it, and we will take it from there, drawing on the FORTEC Group where a project needs more than one site. When a part receives an EOL notice, we tell you early and plan with you: a last-time buy to cover remaining builds, or qualifying a replacement before supply runs out.
