TFT-LCD modules have become widely used in various environments and applications, such as GPS navigation systems for vehicle and marine equipment, as well as outdoor-use information display terminals like POS, ATMs and Kiosks. Manufacturers of these products generally secure the surface of TFT-LCDs with anti-scratch and waterproof protective glass, which increases assembly time and quality concerns. As a solution, there is increasing demand for glass bonded TFT-LCDs – products with protective glass already attached to their surface. There are, however, very few TFT-LCD manufacturers that sell glass bonded products, and Mitsubishi Electric is the only Japanese manufacturer that does so.

Mitsubishi Electric introduces 12.1-inch and 15-inch glass bonded color TFT-LCD modules, the main sizes for industrial-use TFT-LCDs, in addition to its current lineup.
Features
New glass bonded models with high luminance and excellent outdoor visibility
To support industrial application demands, Mitsubishi Electric has newly developed 12.1-inch XGA and 15.0-inch XGA glass bonded models in addition to its current lineup of glass bonded products: 9-inch WVGA, 12.1-inch WXGA and 14.1-inch WXGA. The 12.1-inch XGA model achieves brightness of 900 cd/m² and the 15.0-inch XGA model achieves brightness of 1,500 cd/m², offering excellent visibility in combination with their glass bonded surfaces.
Reduces outside light reflectivity by 90% even with protective glass, while eliminating the requirement for assembly at customer production lines, and solving quality concerns
By bonding 3-millimeter thick protective glass onto TFT-LCD module surfaces with resin, outside light reflection has been reduced by 90 percent*1 compared to products combined with regular protective glass. This improvement helps achieve excellent visibility in outdoor environments, due to low reflectivity in bright environments.

In addition, the protective glass is bonded onto the TFT-LCD modules within Mitsubishi Electric’s quality-managed factory. The high-quality glass bonded modules help customers simplify their assembly process and avoid quality concerns such as particle, dirt and other contaminants getting on the LCD during reassembly at customer production lines.

Future development plans
We plan to develop glass bonded TFT-LCD modules in various sizes. We also plan to bond touch panels, which will improve optical performance with minimized reflection.
