Display Offering Includes Engineering Support

Dear Reader

Driven by the decreasing cost and improved performance, ruggedness and reliability of the underlying technologies, displays are finding their way into an ever growing number of applications. From home appliances to industrial control equipment, automotive infotainment systems to medical devices and portable consumer equipment to test and measurement systems, the display is becoming the essential element in delivery of an effective interface between user and machine. Furthermore, display technologies are also critical to new and emerging applications in the signage, kiosk and gaming arenas.

Arrow has had a long history in the supply and support of display-based applications and carries a wide variety of products to address customer display requirements. So whether its monochrome character LCDs or full colour graphics modules, touch-based solutions or related technologies such as inverters, backlights and OLEDs, Arrow can provide the products to satisfy the broadest possible range of requirements. In addition, we can offer custom LCD panels and all of the embedded hardware and software needed to develop and manufacture complete display-based applications.

Arrow’s display offering also covers all aspects of engineering support, ranging from trained and experienced FAEs to the availability of dedicated development boards and reference designs. This year, for example, we announced two reference boards – Pablo and EasyLCD – that provide engineers with powerful yet easy-to-use solutions for the rapid development of FPGA-based graphic and display controller solutions.

I do hope that you enjoy this Innovation which, as you will see, carries stories from two of our display franchises. As always, should you have any comments or queries on any of the stories covered, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
