LQ150X1LW72 Input Terminals
According the figure below, the LQ150X1LW72 LCD panel features a 20-pin input terminal layout, primarily designed for LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) communication. Pins 1 and 2 are designated for the +3.3V power supply, while pins 3, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 20 are grounded to ensure stable operation and reduce electrical noise.
The remaining pins are dedicated to LVDS data signals. Pins 5–6, 8–9, 11–12, 14–15, and 17–18 carry the differential pairs for channels 0 to 3 and the clock signals, providing high-speed data transmission with minimal signal interference. This configuration makes sure that the panel can accurately display graphics and text at its native resolution.
Applications in Industrial Equipment
The LQ150X1LW72 LCD offers display performance that suits industrial scenes. It shows great practical value in areas like industrial automation, instrumentation, and power equipment. It meets the need for visualizing information in different industrial settings.
Below are typical applications in these fields:
Industrial Automation
The LQ150X1LW72 is used in the core control parts of industrial automation production lines and can be integrated into PLC operation terminals, HMI control cabinets, and main monitoring hosts of production lines.
On one hand, during the production process, it can display in real time the operating parameters of each workstation, production progress data, and alarm information, allowing operators to quickly read key information beside the production line and adjust equipment status promptly. On the other hand, it has a wide viewing angle, suitable for scenarios where multiple people work together in an industrial workshop, avoiding misreading of information caused by angle differences.
Instruments
In various instruments, this display can be used to show measurement data and parameter settings. For example, in precision measuring instruments, it can accurately show measurement results and related parameters. Its 350 nits brightness and 800:1 contrast ratio ensure clear visibility under different lighting conditions, helping to improve measurement accuracy and efficiency.
Power Equipment
It can be used in multifunctional power meters, distribution cabinets, and other equipment to visually display the operating parameters of the power system, such as voltage, current, and power. It can also show various alarm information, helping operators quickly detect and handle issues in the power system, ensuring stable operation.
Medical Display
In medical equipment, such as monitors and ultrasound machines, this display can show patients' vital signs or medical images in real time. It can display 16 million colors, with rich and accurate colors, helping doctors observe and analyze patients' conditions more clearly. For example, in ultrasound machines, it can clearly show images of internal organs, providing more accurate support for diagnosis.
