The backlit monochrome LCD module has for many years been the mainstay solution in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Today it is still a preferred choice for low cost applications where simple text and/or graphic information is being conveyed.

There are various types of these highly reliable easy to use devices i.e. Segmented, Dot Matrix, Graphic and a more recent addition the Ultra-Wide Viewing Display (UWVD) that, allows for a small range of colours to be displayed by utilising silk screening techniques using silk-screening.

All these devices are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.

They can be customised to satisfy customer requirements.
