The range of optoelectronic components available in the TME catalogue has just been expanded to include products by Newhaven Display. This is an American supplier specialising in universal displays manufactured in compliance with various standards, with a wide range of technologies applied and versions available. These solutions are now available directly from our warehouses. If you are interested in the new products, do not hesitate to visit our catalogue (see the link below) and take a look at the brief overview of the range presented below.

Newhaven Display product range overview

Newhaven Display is a manufacturer with a highly specialised area of expertise, who almost exclusively focuses on displays. Therefore, you can be sure that the supplier has taken care of the wide compatibility of its products, as well as their durability and manufacturing precision.

The brand’s core products include alphanumeric displays based on LCD and OLED technologies. They come in 16×2, 20×2, 20×4 and 40×4 character configurations with heights ranging from 3.23 mm to 9.22 mm. Liquid crystal products feature white, blue, grey, yellow-green or RGB backlighting. They are fitted with HD44780-compatible controllers, i.e. with a 14-pin parallel interface (+2 backlight power pins). Moreover, they also come in versions controlled via SPI or I2C bus. Furthermore, they are also available in variants operating at 2.8V DC, which facilitates their integration in battery-powered devices.

NHD-0216HZ-FLYC

Classic alphanumeric LCD with parallel interface.

Graphic displays (LCD and OLED) with resolutions from 128×32 to 320×240 also boast versatility and a variety of colours. As with the alphanumeric models, selected products feature factory-fitted heating. As a result, their lower operating temperature limit reaches even -40°C. The manufacturer also offers temperature-compensated modules, which translates into improved contrast and display quality. The modules are also available with negative voltage converters allowing the addition of a contrast adjustment potentiometer and relieving the microcontroller of this task. Selected displays are very thin (up to 1.6 mm), which is achieved, among other things, through the use of the COG (Chip-On-Glass) technology.



NHD-2.7-12864WDY3

Graphic OLED display that is just 5.5 mm thick.

In the field of TFT displays, Newhaven Display boasts a selection of matrices in sizes ranging from 1.8″ to 7″, with brightness of up to 1200 cd/m2 (good sunlight-readability). Display resolutions are up to 800×480 pixels. This product group includes products controlled by I2C or SPI signals, however, they also support common video interfaces such as RGB or HDMI. Most of the matrices are enclosed in the thinnest possible housing and feature FPC leads or IDC sockets for easy installation in mobile devices and minimising implementation costs. It is worth noting that this group also includes smart displays with resolutions of up to 1024×600 and sizes of up to 10.1″, equipped with touchscreens (resistive and capacitive, supporting, among other things, the multitouch technology) and therefore perfectly suited for the development of state-of-the-art and intuitive-to-use devices. The supplier also provides a broad selection of training materials (in the form of tutorials) available on its website, as well as extensive technical documentation on its products and their controllers, video libraries and example codes (e.g. Arduino). With this support, you can be sure that the implementation and prototyping stage with Newhaven Display modules will go smoothly and conveniently.

In addition, Newhaven Display, is also a manufacturer of VFDs (vacuum fluorescent display). They include built-in voltage converters, so only 5V DC is required to power them. VDFs can be implemented in a very similar way to standard alphanumeric LCDs (with serial communication support) and exhibit very wide thermal tolerance and high contrast, so they remain readable even in bright sunlight.

It should be noted that Newhaven Display is a manufacturer known for its high standard of technical support, and that some of the supplier’s products are available from our catalogue on request. The range of these products will be gradually expanded, so be sure to keep an eye on the new products available at TME!
