Sharp LQ0DAS2178 9.2" 960x160 TFT-LCD Panel for Automotive GPS Navigation

LQ0DAS2178 Overview

The Sharp LQ0DAS2178 is a specialized 9.2-inch automotive-grade TFT-LCD panel designed for GPS navigation and in-car audio display applications. Manufactured by Sharp Corporation (now owned by Foxconn), this panel features a unique ultra-wide 6:1 aspect ratio (960x160 pixels) that is optimized for horizontal dashboard-mount installations where vertical space is limited. The LQ0DAS2178 utilizes Sharp's proven a-Si (amorphous silicon) TFT technology with TN (Twisted Nematic) transmissive display mode, delivering reliable performance across a wide range of automotive operating conditions.
