Advertorials OMC’s backlights now available with


sunlight-visibility layer Enables portable instrumentation to be used outdoors


OMC, the pioneer in optoelectronics, today announced that its ProfiLED coloured LED backlights are available with a proprietary active backing layer that enables them to be viewed in much brighter ambient lighting conditions. This is especially relevant for makers of portable instrumentation which is used outdoors.


Complementing a standard product range which numbers over 250 different sizes, OMC can turn around bespoke-shaped ProfiLED backlights is as little as five working days with little or no setup costs. The company claims that this is often the only viable option for small to medium volume (fewer than 10,000 pieces) requirements. The high-visibility option – termed Royale Reflector – incorporates an active backing layer in the backlight’s back reflector, which enhances contrast in high ambient lighting conditions, ensuring that the display remains visible.


Explains William Heath, OMC’s Commercial Director: “A standard reflector is of limited use in brighter areas as the ambient light simply washes out the display. In our Royale Reflector series we build a special backing layer into the backlight’s reflector, which filters out ambient wavelengths that are destructive to the contrast of the display, while at the same time reflecting forwards wavelengths that add constructively to the LED output. In that way, users can see the display much more clearly.”


The same technology can be used to reduce the power required, as the LED emitters need to do less work to adequately illuminate the display. The technology is available in all of OMC’s red, yellow, orange and green ProfiLED backlights.

Hylec-APL launches new secure, maintenance-free DEDS


Series lockable IP66 IK10 Steel enclosures at ELEX 2016 IP66 and IK10 rated, protects exterior installations: cost effective solution for HVAC, lighting, and many other applications


Hylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical components, enclosures and rack systems, has announced its new DEDS Series of lockable, solid door steel enclosures specially designed to provide high- quality, secure, cost-effective protection for exterior electronic and electrical installations. Launched to coincide with Hylec-APL’s appearance at ELEX Westpoint in Exeter, the DEDS Enclosure Series is IP66 rated against water and dust ingress, meets IK10 specifications against impact and complies with IEC 60529 standards.


For superior robustness and longevity, DEDS enclosure housings are guaranteed against corrosion for three years and are fabricated from galvanised steel, powder-coated in grey RAL7035. DEDS Series enclosure back plates are manufactured from 2mm galvanised steel and carry a similar 3-year anti-corrosion guarantee. All threaded studs are rust-proof stainless steel. As the DEDS Series is primarily designed with exterior installation in mind, the gland-plate modules for cable entry (which can be top or base mounted) are supplied with IP66-rated sealing gaskets for total protection against dust and water jets or waves. A further benefit of the DEDS Series enclosures is an earth-wired stud between the door and the housing, which saves valuable installation time.

Lattice announces first programmable ASSP (pASSP)


Interface Bridge for mobile image sensors and displays Low cost video interface bridge with the highest bandwidth, lowest power and smallest footprint


Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the leading provider of customizable smart connectivity solutions, has announced the industry’s first Lattice CrossLink™ programmable bridging device that supports leading protocols for mobile image sensors and displays. Systems with embedded cameras and displays often do not have the right type or number of interfaces, which can be resolved using a bridge. The new CrossLink device combines the flexibility and fast time to market of an FPGA with the power and functional optimization of an ASSP to create a new product class called programmable ASSP (pASSP™). As the first product in this category, the CrossLink device is a low cost video interface bridge with the highest bandwidth, lowest power and smallest footprint. This makes it the optimal solution for virtual reality headsets, drones, smartphones, tablets, cameras, wearable devices and human machine interfaces (HMIs).
