A contrast ratio of 1000:1 ensures sharp text, numbers, and image edges, reducing misoperations caused by blurry displays.
In terms of color performance, the G215HAN01.201 supports 16.7 million colors (6-bit + Hi-FRC technology), accurately reproducing product images and promotional content. Notably, it offers wide color gamut coverage: 99% sRGB, 76% Adobe RGB, and 77% DCI-P3, ensuring precise display of product images and brand colors—essential for supermarket promotional advertisements. The color temperature remains stable at 6485K, providing standard white display for comfortable reading of price tags and text information.
Viewing angle performance is a critical factor for self-checkout devices. The G215HAN01.201 utilizes AHVA technology to achieve an 89/89/89/89 (left/right/up/down) viewing angle with a CR≥10 standard, ensuring almost no blind spots. This feature allows customers of different heights (including children and wheelchair users) to clearly see the screen from various angles, significantly improving accessibility. The response time is 12ms (rise) / 10ms (fall), sufficient for smooth screen transitions during checkout without motion blur.
To minimize glare in supermarket lighting conditions, the panel features an anti-glare matte surface with a 3H hard coating, effectively reducing reflections and ambient light interference. The brightness uniformity is controlled at 1.18 (Typ.) / 1.25 (Max.) (9-point testing), ensuring consistent brightness across the screen and avoiding uneven lighting for a comfortable viewing experience.
Supermarket self-checkout machines are high-frequency-use devices in public spaces, requiring displays with structural durability and environmental adaptability. The G215HAN01.201 LCD module excels in these aspects, fully meeting the demanding conditions of supermarket environments.
Structurally, the module measures 497.6 (W) × 292.2 (H) × 10.5±0.5 (D) mm, with an active display area of 476.064 × 267.786 mm, allowing compact integration into various checkout devices. Weighing approximately 1.74 kg, it balances structural strength without adding excessive weight to the equipment.
For installation, the G215HAN01.201 features four M3 side-mounting holes (two on each side), providing flexible fixation options for manufacturers. This design ensures easy installation and enhances stability within the device. The anti-glare matte surface with 3H hard coating not only reduces reflections but also resists scratches and wear, maintaining long-term aesthetics.
Environmental adaptability is a key differentiator between industrial and consumer-grade displays. The G215HAN01.201 operates reliably in a wide temperature range (-10°C to 60°C), with a storage temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, ensuring performance in cold storage areas or high-temperature zones near kitchens. Its vibration resistance reaches 1.5G (14.7 m/s²), withstanding shocks from equipment movement, customer handling, or general supermarket activity for long-term reliability.
In high-traffic supermarket environments, equipment must operate continuously for extended periods. The G215HAN01.201 optimizes power efficiency for this requirement: the panel consumes only 2.3W (Typ.) / 2.75W (Max.), while the backlight consumes 9.07W, totaling approximately 11.35W—balancing performance and energy efficiency to reduce operational costs. The signal interface uses LVDS (2ch, 8-bit) with a 30-pin connector, ensuring stable and reliable transmission for long-term use in supermarkets.
The lifespan and reliability of the backlight system directly impact the maintenance cycle and operational costs of supermarket self-checkout machines. The G215HAN01.201 employs an advanced edge-lit WLED backlight system with an industry-leading ultra-long lifespan. Its backlight is rated for 50,000 hours (minimum guaranteed), providing approximately 7.6 years of stable illumination (assuming 18 hours of daily operation), significantly reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs.
Technically, the module uses a 12S4P (12-series, 4-parallel) WLED configuration with right-side lighting for uniform illumination. The backlight drive voltage is 34.8V (Typ.) / 37.2V (Max.) at 65mA (Typ.), optimizing brightness and energy efficiency. Notably, the module does not include a built-in backlight driver, requiring an external driver. This design improves maintainability, allowing backlight issues to be addressed without replacing the entire display module.
For supermarket operations, long-term stability is crucial. The G215HAN01.201’s backlight system not only lasts long but also maintains consistent brightness output with minimal decay.
