Switch with integral TFT screen

ScreenKeys are programmable LCD and TFT key switches with an integrated graphical LCD or TFT display and multi-coloured LED backlighting mounted on a push button switch mechanism.

ScreenKeys add benefit by simplifying a man-machine interface. This is provided by displaying dynamic text or graphic prompts on the LCD key switch to the operator.

 

ScreenKey technology is suited to a wide variety of industries and applications - a must for any product requiring a user interface.

By their very design, our ScreenKey LCD key switches reduce the number of key switches required in a console to implement the user interface thus minimizing panel real estate.
ScreenKeys can be used to simply and quickly drill down through layers of options, commands or menus.

 

Regardless of where you are in a process, only the relevant options valid at that stage are displayed on the LCD key. This improves operator efficiency and minimising keying errors by simplifying and improving complex key sequences.

After each key press, each or all of the ScreenKey LCD or TFT  keys can be quickly refreshed with a new text or graphic

 

The TFT128 ScreenKey and TFT128 Display use a full-color 128*128 resolution TFT display (65k colors per pixel) with the ability to display high-resolution graphics and video.

The TFT display characteristics offers superb imaging and video clarity, exceptional viewing angles and excellent contrast. The low profile and no-solder mounting makes the TFT128 very attractive for next generation console designs.

An industry standard SPI 4-wire interface means integration is straightforward.
