Overview

Designed specifically for displaying video images from sources such as video recorders and camcorders, door security systems, CCD cameras or even hand-held games, Citizen's range of liquid crystal video modules all make use of "Chip-On-Glass" ( C.O.G. ) technology providing the following advantages:-

High contrast image

Clearer, brighter colours

Excellent picture definition

Compact, lightweight and robust design

Together with the combination of C.O.G. technology, the fast fluid liquid crystal and low resistivity I.T.O. (Indium-Tin Oxide) electrodes ensure that the image on the display is high quality and high contrast making it extremely clear and easy to see.
