NL8060BC21-06 8.4 Inch Industrial TFT LCD Module for HMI and Embedded Displays

Product Overview

The NL8060BC21-06 is an 8.4-inch diagonal TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD module designed for industrial applications requiring high reliability and wide viewing angles. It is manufactured by NLT Technologies (formerly NEC LCD). This module features SVGA resolution (800 x 600 pixels) with a 4:3 aspect ratio, making it ideal for operator interfaces, medical equipment, and factory automation displays. The LCD is transmissive with LED backlight, providing good brightness and contrast for indoor use. The module is designed to operate in extended temperature ranges, suitable for harsh environments.

Key Features of NL8060BC21-06

The display has a brightness of 450 cd/m² (typical) and a contrast ratio of 800:1. It uses a 6-bit digital RGB interface (LVDS or CMOS as per datasheet). The viewing angle is 80° in all directions (typical). The module includes an LED driver circuit and requires a 3.3 V or 5 V power supply. The mechanical outline is 199.5 mm x 149.5 mm x 11.5 mm, with an active area of 170.88 mm x 128.16 mm. The module has mounting holes for easy integration into enclosures.

The NL8060BC21-06 operates from -20°C to +70°C ambient temperature, making it suitable for outdoor kiosks or industrial control rooms. The LED backlight life is 70,000 hours (typical). The module includes a touch panel option (not included on this variant). The display controller supports 16.2 million colors (6-bit + FRC). It complies with RoHS standards. The interface is typically LVDS (low voltage differential signaling). The module is recommended for new designs as a replacement for older NL8060BC21-01/02.

Functional Description

The NL8060BC21-06 receives digital video data (RGB) from a graphics controller via LVDS. The internal timing controller generates the necessary signals to drive the TFT array. The LED backlight is driven by an external or onboard inverter (usually 12 V input). The user must supply the appropriate connector and cable. The module has no built-in touch screen; a separate touch panel can be laminated. The wide temperature range allows operation in outdoor enclosures with sunlight readability (with high brightness version).

Applications

This LCD module is used in industrial HMI terminals, medical monitors, test and measurement equipment, CNC operator panels, and kiosk displays. It is a replacement display for many legacy systems.
