MMS-e Press releases - What's new 

MMS Electronics Ltd (MMS-e) has added the new EA Graphic display DOGM128 with SPI interface to the already successful DOG character displays. The DOG displays and optional backlights are specially designed for low power applications and operate from a single +3V supply at 150uA or 3mA with white backlight at full brightness. This system allows displays to be quickly personalised by the combination of various display technologies (positive/negative, blue, green, black) with the 6 different backlights (white, blue, amber, yellow/green, red and RGB). Assembly is easy, simply clip the display and the backlight together and solder directly into the PCB or socket. The DOGM128 graphic display has a resolution of 128x64 pixel with outline dimension of 55x46mm. Thanks to the chip-on-glass technology (STN and FSTN) the overall height is only 2mm and with the LED backlight the height is still only 5.8mm. Connection is simple with the serial SPI interface.  Contrast is adjusted by software.

March 2007 Fresh look with pure green LCD

MMS Electronics has added a pure green graphic display  from Electronic Assembly Gmbh  to the DIP128 series.  This pure green display stands out from other displays with its new  fresh look. . The same 128x64pixel display can now be selected in blue-white, black&white, amber and pure green. The  outline dimensions of the EA DIP128J-6N5LG is only  75 x 45.8 x 10.8mm. Readability under direct sunlight is fine because of the transflective background. The standard specification offers a temperature range of -20 up to +70°C.  Contrast adjustment is only required once due to the integrated temperature compensation.  Voltage supply is single 5V or 3.3V.   Optional 3x5 key touch-screen is available.

Feb 2007 MMS-e adds EA Orange/Amber display range

MMS-e has now a full range of  orange / amber colored displays to offer.  The new orange / amber LCD displays provide excellent brightness and are readable under all lighting conditions - even in direct sun light. Expected backlight  life time for these amber displays is a minimum of 100,000 hours even at enhanced ambient temperature of  +70°C.  Amber displays are available from MMS Electronics in the dot-matrix and graphic series. Dot-matrix part numbers: EA DOGM081 1x8, EA DOGM162 2x16 and EA DOGM163 3x16 (Line x Character) and graphic part numbers:  EA DIP128-6, EA DOGM128 128x64 pixel and also as the new intelligent graphic displays including fonts and high level graphic commands EA eDIP240-7 (128x240)  and EA eDIP320-8 (320x240) pixel. 

April 2006   MMS-e launches EA DIP180B-5NLW for PC bays or 1U racks

MMS-e has added a new addition to the compact DIP displays from Electronic Assembly Gmbh.  The blue STN module is 102 x 27 x 11 mm making it perfect for use into an open 3½’’ drive bay of a PC, dedicated server or 1U high rack appliance. The EA DIP180B-5NLW has a resolution of 180 x 32 pixels with an active viewing area of 88 x 19 mm.  A standard SED1520/PT6520 controller, internal temperature compensation and LED backlight are built-in. Operating temperature of –20 to 70º C are standard. Replacing the usual trough-hole connector and PCB of standard displays with a ready assembled header has created the optimum use of space for these displays.  Other sizes available in the compact DIP series are 1x8, 2x8, 2x16, 4x20 character displays and 122x32, 128x64 240x128 graphic display.   Further info click here

November 2005   Development KIT with USB for Intelligent display eDIP240-6

A quick-start development kit EA START eDIP240-7 for the intelligent graphics display EA eDIP240-7 is now available. The use of this intelligent display will significantly reduce  development time. Engineers will typically have the display working within the hour due to its plug-and-play concept.  The design kit includes a Windows™ development tool, LCD simulator and interface board with USB cable. There are more than 112 graphic routines available such as drawing lines, boxes, bar graphs, portrait and landscape mode, creating pull down menus, show bitmaps, font selection and functions for the optional analogue touch panel with variable grid. Macros, pictures and fonts can be stored in the 32k EEPROM on-board the LCD.  The display is available in 128x240 pixel blue-white and black-white FSTN technology with optional touch-panel.  The design kit simply connects to the USB port. No PSU is required.  The display can communicate with the processor in serial, SPI or I²C-bus.  Breakout boards with USB, RS232 and RS485 are available. Further info click here

MMS Electronics Ltd (MMS-e) enjoyed lots of interest at the MTEC show February 2005 at the NEC Birmingham. On show was the full range of  Smartec sensors with acquisition boards. The full range of  EA display modules: serial displays with RS232, compact DIP,  intelligent graphics eDIP, low voltage +3V chip-on-glass DOG and the graphic touch screen KITs with RS232. Also on show was the extensive range of 8051 based C and Basic programmable control boards for instrumentation and automation application.
