Kyocera TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 10.1 inch WXGA TFT-LCD Module 1280x800

Product Overview

The Kyocera TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 is a 10.1-inch WXGA industrial TFT-LCD module with 1280x800 resolution on a 16:10 aspect ratio. It combines a TN normally-white transmissive panel, 16.7M 8-bit colors, an 800:1 typical contrast ratio and a built-in WLED edge backlight rated at 50,000 hours. A 4-wire analog resistive touch panel is attached, and the module communicates through a 1-channel LVDS 20-pin interface. Designed around a wide -20 to 70 C operating range, it targets continuous industrial, medical and machine-control environments.

Why Choose Kyocera

• Established industrial display maker: Kyocera is a long-standing Japanese manufacturer of TFT-LCD modules built for industrial rather than consumer use.
• Wide-temperature design: The module operates from -20 to 70 C and stores from -30 to 80 C, suiting workshops, cabinets and climate-exposed consoles.
• Long-life WLED backlight: The edge-light WLED reaches a typical 50,000-hour lifetime, reducing field replacement on long service products.
• Integrated touch and driver: The attached resistive touch and built-in constant-current backlight circuit simplify board design.
• Standard LVDS interface: The 1ch 6/8-bit LVDS 20-pin link matches common industrial mainboards and controllers.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

FAQ

1. What contrast ratio does the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 offer, and how does it affect on-screen image quality?

The TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 delivers a typical contrast ratio of 800:1 on its TN normally-white transmissive panel. This ratio separates dark text, icons and charts from the bright background, keeping HMI menus, parameter values and warning indicators legible during long operator shifts. Combined with 16.7M 8-bit colors, interfaces show smooth shading rather than banded gradients. The panel is intended for indoor and controlled industrial lighting; direct sunlight may reduce perceived contrast even at its rated brightness.

2. Is the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 a TN or IPS panel, and what does that mean for integration?

The TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 uses an a-Si TFT-LCD TN (twisted nematic) panel in normally-white transmissive mode, not an IPS panel. TN panels offer fast switching and a compact, cost-effective build suitable for operator-facing HMI. Its typical viewing angle is 80/80/80/80 (CR>=10) left, right, up and down, so content stays clear when viewed roughly straight on; seats far off-axis may see color shift. Design the console in front of the operator rather than for wide oblique viewing.

3. What are the outline dimensions of the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 for mechanical mounting?

The module outline measures 236 (W) x 156.8 (H) x 11.2 (D) mm, with an active display area of 216.96 (W) x 135.6 (H) mm and a module weight of 605 g. These dimensions define the cut-out and bezel space on your enclosure. Because mounting holes and hold-down positions are defined in the manufacturer datasheet rather than the outline alone, designers should download the official mechanical drawing and align screw bosses before building the cabinet or front panel.

4. What supply voltages does the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 require, and how is power distributed?

The logic circuit runs on VDD 3.3V with an allowed range of 3.0-3.6V, while the WLED edge backlight takes VIN 12.0V with a range of 10.8-13.2V. A constant-current circuit is built into the module, so the backlight does not need a separate LED driver board. Signals arrive through a 1-channel LVDS 20-pin connector supporting 6/8-bit color. Plan two clean supply rails and keep LVDS pairs terminated and shielded for stable operation.

5. How many colors does the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 display, and which color depth should the host send?

The panel supports 16.7M colors at 8-bit depth, matching the 6/8-bit capable LVDS input. An 8-bit host signal renders the full palette used in modern HMI screens, trend graphs, color-coded status lamps and photographic product images; a 6-bit source still works but produces slightly fewer intermediate shades. For medical or instrumentation UI that relies on color differentiation, configure the controller for 8-bit output and verify the color bar in the factory test pattern.

6. What is the response time of the TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20, and is it suitable for changing on-screen content?

Typical response time is rise 8 ms and down 22 ms. This is comfortable for static and slowly changing HMI content such as menus, set-points, alarm lists and trend lines, where the operator reads and acts rather than watches fast motion. It is not optimized for full-motion video or high-speed gaming. When building dynamic dashboards, keep transitions moderate and avoid expecting video-grade motion clarity; the panel excels at readable, stable industrial interfaces.

Packing and Shipping

Each TCG101WXLPAAFA-AA20 module is wrapped in an anti-static bag, cushioned with foam and bubble protection, and sealed in a corrugated carton to protect the glass, connector and touch film during transit. Parcels are sent with standard or insured courier shipping from our Hong Kong warehouse. The panel is a fragile electro-static sensitive device; avoid dropping, bending or exposing the unit to direct sunlight during storage, and keep it in the anti-static bag until installation.
