Square TFTs: Where Symmetry Meets Performance
Press Release - Elgin, IL | January 20th, 2026
These new displays mark the first square TFT LCDs in Newhaven Display’s product line, available in 1.5-inch and 4.0-inch diagonal sizes. Their perfectly symmetrical design offers a modern visual aesthetic while providing engineers with a versatile form factor ideal for compact interfaces, wearables, control systems, and next-generation product designs. Built with advanced IPS technology, each display delivers ultra-wide viewing angles, vivid picture, accurate color reproduction, and high brightness for excellent readability in any lighting environment.
The 1.5” TFT model features a crisp 240×240 pixel resolution, average backlight brightness of 1200 nits, and optional 4-wire resistive touchscreen. It also supports both SPI and Parallel interfaces for flexible integration. The 4.0” models offer a sharp 480×480 pixel resolution, average brightness of 1000 nits, and 4-wire resistive or capacitive multi-touch screens with I2C interface. They are available with either 24-bit Parallel RGB or 2-lane MIPI DSI interfaces for high-speed, stable graphics performance, and all models come equipped with built-in EMI shielding to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.
Designed for durability and versatility, these square TFTs are well-suited for medical, industrial, manufacturing, consumer electronics, and aviation applications. Ideal use cases include HMI control panels, patient monitoring systems, laboratory instruments, oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, instrument clusters, navigation systems, thermostats, home control panels, access control devices, smart speakers, coffee machines, handheld analyzers, portable loggers, fitness trackers, ticketing systems, and other compact or portable products requiring sharp, high-quality visuals.
