2.3 Detailed Explanation of Core Upgrade Highlights
Highlight 1: TN upgraded to AHVA, full view display
The original G057VTN01.1 used TN technology, with a narrow viewing angle (80/80/70/70), resulting in decreased contrast and color shift when viewed from the side. G057VTN01.110 has been upgraded to AHVA (AUO Advanced Wide Viewing Angle) technology, achieving an 89 ° full field of view that maintains color accuracy from any direction.
Customer value: When multiple people view the device screen together, everyone can have a consistent viewing experience, especially suitable for scenarios such as medical monitoring equipment and industrial control consoles.
Highlight 2: Contrast ratio increased to 1000:1
From 800:1 to 1000:1, the black color is darker, the white color is purer, and the visual depth is richer. For scenes that require displaying charts, X-ray images, monitoring screens, etc., the image details are clearer and more distinguishable.
Highlight 3: Backlight lifespan extended to 70000 hours
The backlight lifespan has been extended from 50000 hours to 70000 hours (minimum value). Taking the 24-hour uninterrupted operation of the equipment as an example:
Model | Backlight life | Theoretical usage days | Theoretical years of use |
G057VTN01.1 | 50,000 hour | About 2083 days | About 5.7 years |
G057VTN01.110 | 70,000 hour | About 2916 days | About 8.0 years |
Customer value: Maintenance cycle extended by about 40%, significantly reducing the operational costs and downtime risks for end users.
Highlight 4: Driver IC update ensures long-term supply
IC type | G057VTN01.1 | |
Gate IC | Old version (discontinued) | ST5043DA |
Source IC | Old version (discontinued) | ST589IDA |
The new IC ensures long-term stable supply of products and avoids screen downtime caused by IC shutdown again.
