Once the prerogative of very high volume applications, custom colour LCDs are now an affordable option in low to medium volumes, enabling designers to differentiate their products with an attractive, unique interface and achieve a real competitive edge. Combining technical engineering capabilities in the UK with the low cost structure of Far Eastern design and manufacture, leading Opto-Electronics manufacturer GTK is now offering to design an LCD to suit specific requirements at a realistic design cost for applications requiring as few as 2,000 pieces.

Until now Reflective or Yellow/Green or Grey LCDs have been the only possible option for low to medium volume applications, but GTK will now combine a custom design with one of a number of colour options, ensuring that your product stands out from a plethora of dull, uninteresting designs. The company offers LCDs and modules in all major technologies - TN, HTN, STN, FSTN - using advanced manufacturing techniques including COB (Chip on Board), COG (Chip on Glass), TAB (Tape Automated Bonding). An exciting choice is to use a range of different colours for the backlight which can be selected and mixed to give a range of coloured displays.

Comments GTK's Opto Product Specialist Ian Perry: “Improving the interface between the product and the user is an ideal way to distinguish a product from the pack. We will deliver a low cost, custom display that makes your product look special – more, our service will ensure that you get to market quickly.”
