Significant improvement. The main upgrades include:
Viewing angle: increased from 80 ° to 89 ° full view angle (IPS level)；
Contrast ratio: increased from 750:1 to 1000:1 (33% improvement)；
Display technology: Upgraded from TN to IPS (AHVA), completely solving the problem of large viewing angle grayscale inversion.
Q3: Will brightness and resolution change?
can't. The brightness and resolution remain completely consistent: 400cd/m ², 800 × 480.
Q4: Does the backlight driver need to be modified?
No need. The backlight driver specifications are the same, and the original backlight driver circuit can be directly used.
Q5: Do software drivers need to be re debugged?
No need. Using the same LVDS single channel 6/8-bit signal format, the original driver code can be directly driven.
Q6: Has there been any change in the working temperature range?
bring into correspondence with. The working temperature range is also -30 ℃~85 ℃.
Q7: What are the alternative options for V002?
In addition to G070VW01 V012, if you need higher brightness (such as 500nit or more), you can consider:
A070VTN06.4:500nit, -30~80 ℃, RGB interface (note interface differences) .
G070VAN01.3:520nit, -20~70 ℃, AHVA full view angle.
Q8: Can V1 version replace V002?
No. The working temperature of V1 is only -20~70 ℃, far lower than the -30~85 ℃ specification of V002. If your device requires low-temperature start-up at -30 ℃, V1 cannot meet the requirements.
