Dear Customers,
Sorry for the late reply. We were busy to prepare new beta version and Christmas holidays. For this issue, we already talked about our position. I will explain about it and find out something we can help you.
When we supplied VFD product to HTPC market, we got many requests from the end users that they would like to see non-English characters at the display because VFD only can show some limited ASCII codes at that time. So we designed new LCD which can show the 2Byte characters with some useful icons for playback information. This is the current LCD products and there were 4 different colors but now we unified it as black/white LCD. As you might know, we need to make it as bright as possible for the livingroom usage. The contrast of LCD issue has some technical limitation because this is not so expensive LCD units. After we announce this LCD model to HTPC markets, many of our ODM/OEM customers choose this LCD rather than existing VFD because it has better performance/cost ratio.
When we showed our LCD product to HTPC case manufacturers we provide them a guideline of cover window with our retail products, UltraBay which uses the same LCD products. We used half mirror type cover window in front of this LCD and it works nicely and cover the week point of contrast LCD.
As we told you before, we did not provide LCD cover to our ODM/OEM customers and the size of cover comes from different vendor are different. So currently, we cannot give you the answer that you want at this time. We already notify this kind of issue to our ODM/OEM customers and they may change the cover window later I expect. But they do not talk with us about this issue.
One thing we think about this issue is that we will announce the new OLED product to the HTPC market, we already had a prototype of it but its cost is higher than the existing VFD and LCD product. Because of the tough economic condition, our ODM/OEM customers could not use this new OLED product and our project of it was delayed for a while. But I think that we can supply this new OLED product for the HTPC market from the April of next year and in that time, we can supply them through our online shop. This OLED display module can be mounted using same mounting hole and you can remove LCD and use this new OLED instead of it if you like it.
Or you can ask the half mirror window later when our ODM/OEM customers starts to supply the new Window for LCD product. This could be the second option. Later, we will prepare the video to compare the difference of contrast of LCD when we use the different type of window and upload it to this forum for your understanding.
Thanks and regards...
almost 1 Year ago someone talk about, but nothing until now.
I want to replace my stupid to bright LCD from my Antec Fuisn Black Case as soon as possible.
thx
