"Always-on" Color Memory LCD is Ideal Graphic Display for Wearable Products
Pioneering Sharp technology delivers ultra-low power coupled with high resolution
CAMAS, Wash., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas (SMA) has unveiled its 1.33-inch (diagonal) Color Memory LCD graphics display. The 8-color LCD module has ultra-low power consumption, enabling longer time between recharges for small-display products with a battery. It also enables designers to meet the growing demand for "always-on" devices - e.g., products such as smartwatches that show a full array of data at a glance without need to "fire-up" the device.

The high-resolution display (LS013B7DH06) delivers smooth graphics and simple video capability, thus showcasing richer content than many cholesteric, electrophoretic, and other bi-stable, "e-ink" type display solutions - all with lower energy requirements. Transmissivity allows addition of a backlight for visibility in low ambient light. The LCD will be on show at Display Week 2015 in San Jose, CA (June 2 - 4).
Memory LCD Technology
Sharp helped pioneer LCDs for the wearable market, introducing its first Memory LCD monochrome graphic displays in 2009. Memory LCDs feature embedded 1-bit memory in each pixel, which results in minimal power usage from the display's single supply, even while updating images. A lightweight, thin two-glass design, plus an integrated driver and simple I/F connectivity ease the design process.
Sharp's Memory LCD Suite
In addition to the Color Memory LCD, Sharp's Monochrome graphic display Memory LCD line-up includes the following sizes (all sizes diagonal): 0.99-inch, 1.17-inch, 1.26-inch, 1.28-inch, 2.7-inch, and 4.4-inch. Customers benefit from support from U.S.-based service and support in every region.
Availability and Pricing
Product samples may be obtained through any Sharp Representative or Distributor. One-piece sample pricing is $15.00.
