Structure of Display stacks

Showcase
See a real arrangement of different layers of a display solution. Avnet Embedded as your trusted partner is well aware of industrial and medical environments and utilizes different techniques to provide reliable visualization solutions.

Ultra Low Power

E-paper displays can show images for a longer period of time, even when the power is off.
The brighter the ambient light of e-paper, the clearer the display characteristics.

MipiPlus Touch Displays

We drive MIPI
First time appearance! Avnet Embedded presents its complete new portfolio of MIPI driven TFT including touch function, driven in a modular approach using imx8 processor technology. Various display sizes (4” up to 10.1”) are shown, utilizing the same EP5 carrier board technology, with benefit of low power compute modules based on imx8 nano SMARC modules.
