NORITAKE
Displays and user interfaces
About the manufacturer
Noritake is a Japanese industrial group with roots dating to 1904 that later expanded beyond traditional ceramics. Its specialist electronics heritage includes Ise Electronics, established in 1966. By 1967 it had begun manufacturing vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), which subsequently found widespread use in calculators, instruments and control panels. Noritake Itron now offers industrial display modules and touch-interface solutions, drawing on decades of electronic-display engineering.
The main technical solutions associated with NORITAKE include VFD displays, graphic display modules and character display modules. Display modules combine a panel, control electronics and often a backlight to provide a visual device interface. Technologies offer different brightness, contrast, viewing-angle and power-consumption characteristics. Successful integration requires mechanical, electrical and software compatibility with the host.
Applications
NORITAKE solutions are relevant to applications where component characteristics must be matched to the final equipment:
- operator panels
- medical equipment
- measurement instruments
- industrial computers
- consumer electronics
- human-machine interfaces
