What makes IPS better than TN displays?
IPS has much better viewing angels and better color reproduction or contrast.
This solves the readability challenges that some customers face depending on location and environment for their end products.

Image 1 - As see in the image above, IPS technology utilizes a unique arrangement of electrodes that generates an electric field parallel to the plate – rather than the more scrambled field of TN displays. This technological improvement is what allows IPS displays to have truer color reproduction, greatly enhanced viewing at all angles, and do not show distortion or "tailing" when touched.

Image 2 - Consistent color reproduction at various angles is one of the great benefits of an IPS Display. As seen in the image, the top left is the original picture. The top right image is a comparison between a TN (left) and IPS TFT (right). Right away it is noticeable that the IPS display has a better representation of the original picture. As the angle of the display changes (as seen in the bottom left and right images) the IPS display continues to retain that truer color representation.

Why are we adding these to our product line up?
- Newhaven Display has seen a need for a 2.8” TFT through the numerous inquiries for a 2.8” size.
- Technology in the industry is changing and IPS was created to address the shortcomings of TN panels.
Who might be buying these?
- Anyone that is currently using our 2.4” TFT and need just a slightly bigger size or better viewing and contrast. The great thing about these 2.8” TFT is that they are compatible with our 2.4”. They use the same IC and if your end user decided to upgrade to the 2.8” they would only need to slightly adjust one line of code to get these up and running in their end unit.
- Anyone looking for a small but great looking display.
