Crystal Display Systems Ltd Announces their New Range of Cutting-Edge Small Format LCDs, Setting a New Standard with the Broadest Range in Europe
Crystal Display Systems Ltd (CDS), a leading provider of display solutions, is excited to introduce their small format display range, encompassing all the industry standard sizes and formats plus an extensive array of specialist, niche product types. This innovation is following CDS’s acquisition of Craft Data LTD spurring new collaborations with renowned innovators in small format display technology.
Industry Standard Sizes and Formats
CDS’ extensive line up enables them to meet the technical and budgetary demands of today’s OEM applications. They can provide many different options within a single display size, from different brightnesses, pin assignment, resolution, and interface driver IC to the outline dimensions. CDS can provide competitively priced, compatible models to many of their competitors parts, handy when lead-times are long, and pressure is on for a reduction in costs.
Bar Type Displays: A New Dimension of Versatility CDS's comprehensive range of "Bar Type" or "Stretch" displays opens up opportunities for OEM product designers to find colourful, high-resolution displays even for the most challenging spaces.
Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications in industrial, military, and automotive / aerospace markets. The displays can be equipped with an optically bonded industrial multi-point projected capacitive touch solution.
Round TFT Displays: Aesthetically Pleasing and Modern CDS introduces round TFT displays, eliminating the need for circular-shaped bezels over rectangular displays. These displays create a modern and aesthetically pleasing look, drawing viewers' attention with their exciting design.
Currently a standard product in CDS's display portfolio, as well as continuous development for more models and sizes to meet the growing demand for this innovative display format.
Square TFT Displays: On-Trend Modernity and Versatility Square displays are the latest on-trend format, offering a modern appearance together with long product life guarantees. These displays showcase versatility across different market sectors and varied product requirements.
Transflective TFTs: Readability in All Light Conditions
CDS addresses outdoor display challenges with transflective TFT solutions. Unlike traditional transmissive TFT displays, transflective displays offer readability in all light conditions without increasing power consumption or bulkiness. The displays excel in battery-powered hand-held applications and environments where direct sunlight is a factor.
Wide Temp TFTs: Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions Designed to operate efficiently in extreme temperature conditions, wide temperature TFT displays by CDS maintain picture quality in very low or high temperatures. With an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, these displays find applications in harsh environments, providing reliable and consistent performance under challenging conditions.

Optimising energy in electric boosting and melting systems
Like all industries, pressure to decarbonise is imminent. And glass manufacturing is no exception, with the objective to attain carbon neutrality by 2050. Not only does decarbonisation benefit wider industry and society, but when done correctly, also provides efficiency and cost benefits. In this article, Mikael Le Guern, Global Glass Business Development Manager at Eurotherm, a company acquired by industrial technology company Watlow, explains how installing power boxes close to furnace electrodes can help glassmakers improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, compared to traditional power system designs. As a result of pressure to decarbonise, we are seeing more requirements to significantly increase electrical boosting for facilities all over the world. Certainly, for large glass production companies, their total CO2 emissions are the aggregate emissions of all their plants and facilities globally. With furnace campaigns lasting between ten and 18 years before the next rebuild or cold repair and with only a few upcoming greenfield projects, the opportunities for these companies to implement carbon-reducing solutions are limited. Currently, whenever a repair is due, many glass companies are already considering their options to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly by increasing electrical boosting. The other movement happening in the marketplace is that all types of glass producers are looking into these issues. Years ago, the size of the furnaces and type of glass made it possible to implement small to medium size electrical boosting, on average between two and five megawatts (MW). Now, not only has the required size of electrical boosting systems grown from a few megawatts (MW) to over ten MW and beyond, but this trend is happening across most types of glass production, including float glass furnaces.
A proven technology It’s recognised that electrical melting and boosting are not the only technologies available to reduce GHG emissions. The two other main energy options being investigated by the industry are hydrogen and biofuel. There is plenty of research into this and there are some very promising tests and industrial implementations on glass furnaces. In terms of technological readiness, infrastructure, production and
capacity, hydrogen and biofuels are unlikely to be suitable short-term or even midterm solutions for the industry’s energy and CO2 challenges. Therefore, it’s believed that the future systems will be based on a hybrid mix of solutions varying by region and industry.
