Launch of Piezo Inverter for Improved TCO
GLOBAL DISPLAY SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES PIEZO INVERTER FOR IMPROVED
RELIABILITY & REDUCED COST
Global Display Solutions Ltd. (GDS), the industrial displays specialist, launches its new Piezo
Inverter for multi-lamp backlight systems such as LCD TVs, high brightness LCD solutions and
headrest displays. GDS's Piezo Inverter's balanced output is the 'first of its kind', giving
exceptional uniformity and dimming performance.
GDS's Piezo Inverter has improved reliability, safety and EMI performance compared with
existing wire wound component systems. This is due to a reduced overall size and lower
component count. In addition, with the use of the Piezo Inverter each lamp in multiple lamp
systems will operate independently in the event of a single or multiple lamp failure, enabling
continued operation of the display.
By using GDS's patented balanced output configuration, dimming ratios of > 500:1 are easily
achievable, which is at least five times the dimming range of conventional inverter systems
(50-100:1 or less).
GDS's Piezo Inverter also has the following advantages:
· 12-24 vdc;
· Control circuitry and the low voltage power supply can be remotely mounted allowing
better thermal management of the display (e.g. head rest displays);
· Optical feedback provides uniform lamp output and can compensate
for brightness variations caused by temperature changes in the display;
· Very compact; and
· Improved safety and easier integration due to the elimination of high voltage
connections.
GDS's new Piezo Inverter, which is the ideal low-cost, efficient and reliable solution for LCD
manufacturers to use in multi-lamp back-light systems, is just now entering the market
following a lengthy R & D program.
GDS is a world-leading manufacturer of industrial display solutions for a number of industries worldwide including
transport, kiosk, banking, marine, process retail and leisure. To see how GDS's Piezo Inverter can save you money and provide increased performance for high volume requirements, please call +44 (0) 1274 230150, visit www.gds.com or email sales@gds.com
