NEWARK, CA--(Marketwire - May 5, 2009) - SMART Modular Technologies (WWH), Inc. ("SMART"
or the "Company") (NASDAQ : SMOD ), a leading independent manufacturer of
memory modules, solid state drives, embedded computing subsystems, and
TFT-LCD display products, today announced the introduction of its 22" wide
TouchScape E Series displays. Expanding SMART's existing family of 15, 17,
and 19" E Series products, the new larger TouchScape displays are
RoHS-compliant and are optimized to provide high levels of image quality
and robustness to support the kiosk, gaming, ATM, and digital signage
markets.
The new E Series can be used as a direct replacement in designs that
already incorporate the 2239L displays from Elo TouchSystems, Inc.
"Competitively priced, the SMART TouchScape E Series offers a broader
variety of TFT options as well as enhanced resistance to fluid and dust
intrusion," said Joe Kotas, SMART's Vice President of Business Development
for Display and Embedded Products, "These features are critical for
improving the display's durability and longevity."
Designed with protective glass, surface acoustic wave (SAW), and capacitive
touchscreen options, the 22" E Series displays are available with either a
wide viewing angle TFT (~178 degrees) for applications that demand enhanced
viewing from extreme angles or with a lower-cost twisted nematic (TN) TFT
providing normal viewing angles (~170 degrees). The entire E series product
line features a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 300 cd/m2
typical brightness. "The TouchScape E Series supports high-impact graphics
while offering a range of standard sizes and customized options, providing
our customers with competitive advantages for their application-specific
designs," added Kotas.
Sampling now, the TouchScape 22" E Series displays are specifically
designed for long-life, high-usage applications where display quality and
reliability are critical. SMART will showcase its line of embedded and
display products at booth #919 at KioskCom to be held at the Mandalay Bay
Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 6-7, 2009. Additional
