The following products based on PLED technology have been discontinued due to industry wide obsolescence of PLED technology:
The following part numbers will be discontinued:
In order to assist you with this discontinuation please review the following potential display solutions:
1) Changing from a PLED display to an FFSTN LCD display FFSTN LCD displays (Liquid Crystal Display) like PLED displays are very bright and crisp. They are capable of a temperature range of -20 to +70 degrees Celcius.
2) Changing from a PLED display to a VFD display VFD displays (Vacuum Flourescent Display) like PLED displays have a near a 160 degree viewing angle. VFD's are also extremely bright and crisp. They are capable of a temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celcius.
3) Changing from a PLED display to an STN LCD display STN LCD displays (Liquid Crystal Display) are the most widely used technology. They are capable of a temperature of -20 to +70 degrees Celcius. Please note that the main difference between PLED technology and any of the above mentioned technologies is the power consumption.
PLED Technology had a very low power consumption that will not be matched in VFD or LCD technology. We will be continuing to monitor the PLED situation in the industry in the hopes that another company will be able to take over the manufacturing of this technology. This may or may not happen and will most likely take a long time.
In the meantime, please take the necessary steps to switch over to another technology. We will be more than happy to help you transition to a technology that will work for your application. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this will cause.
