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: * 12-24V DC; * 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 and 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.
