Technical Specifications

The specifications above are based primarily on Sharp's device documentation and cross-checked against technical references for the exact LQ150X1LX95 model.

15 Inch 1024 × 768 XGA Display

The Sharp LQ150X1LX95 features a 15.0-inch diagonal screen with a 1024 × 768 XGA resolution. Its 304.128 × 228.096 mm active area provides the traditional 4:3 format used in many industrial computers, machine interfaces, control systems, instrumentation, and legacy equipment.

The approximately 85 PPI pixel density provides suitable detail for displaying machine parameters, numerical values, menus, alarms, status indicators, measurement data, and graphical control interfaces.

The XGA resolution can be particularly relevant when replacing older equipment designed around 1024 × 768 output. However, resolution and screen size alone are not sufficient to establish compatibility. The active area, outline dimensions, mounting arrangement, connector, pinout, voltage, backlight configuration, and controller requirements should also be verified.

Display Technology

The LQ150X1LX95 uses amorphous silicon TFT-LCD technology incorporating Sharp's Advanced Super View technology. It operates in a Normally Black, Transmissive configuration and uses an RGB vertical stripe pixel arrangement.

The panel supports 16.19 million colors and uses an LVDS display interface. The ASV technology and Normally Black configuration are important characteristics when selecting a replacement because another 15-inch XGA panel may use a different TFT technology or Normally White configuration.

For legacy equipment, matching the exact model and suffix is therefore preferable to selecting another panel based only on screen size and resolution.

Brightness and Contrast

The LQ150X1LX95 has a typical luminance of 400 cd/m² and a typical contrast ratio of 1500:1. These specifications describe the panel's light output and its ability to distinguish darker and brighter areas of an image.

The panel provides typical viewing angles of 85° left, 85° right, 85° upward, and 85° downward under the CR ≥ 10 condition. The viewing direction is symmetrical.

The front surface features a matte antiglare treatment, 3H hard coating, and approximately 3% haze. These characteristics are relevant for installations where reflections and routine handling of the display surface need to be considered.

Interface and Connector

The Sharp LQ150X1LX95 uses a single-channel, 8-bit LVDS interface through a 20-pin connector. The typical LCD supply voltage is 3.3V and the specified frame rate is 60 Hz.

The exact connector pin assignment, LVDS signal mapping, power connections, timing requirements, and connector orientation should be checked against the applicable technical documentation before installation.

A 20-pin connector alone does not guarantee compatibility. Another LCD can use the same connector count while having a different LVDS pinout, signal mapping, power arrangement, timing configuration, or control requirements.

Before connecting the LQ150X1LX95, verify:

• Complete LCD connector pinout
• LVDS signal mapping
• Single-channel configuration
• 8-bit configuration
• LCD supply voltage
• Connector orientation
• Display timing
• Backlight connection and control
• Controller compatibility

Backlight

The LQ150X1LX95 uses a white LED backlight with a built-in LED backlight driver. Sharp identifies the module as having a long-life LED backlight and integrated driver circuitry.

Available technical references specify a backlight life of more than 70,000 hours. PWM control is also supported for backlight adjustment.

The integrated LED driver is an important difference when comparing the LQ150X1LX95 with older 15-inch panels that use CCFL backlights. A panel with the same size and resolution but a different backlight system should not automatically be considered a direct replacement.

Mechanical Dimensions

The LQ150X1LX95 has an active display area of 304.128 × 228.096 mm and a viewing area of approximately 307.4 × 231.3 mm. Available specifications list the overall module dimensions at approximately 326.5 × 253.5 × 10.1 mm, with a maximum weight of 950 g.

Sharp's device catalog lists the overall dimensions at approximately 326.5 × 253.5 × 9.6 mm, so the exact mechanical drawing should be consulted where installation tolerances are critical.

These dimensions matter when installing the panel into an existing equipment enclosure. Check:

• Panel width and height
• Panel thickness
• Active area
• Bezel opening
• Mounting-hole locations
• Connector position
• Backlight connector location
• Cable routing
• Rear clearance

Two 15-inch XGA displays can have the same resolution while differing in physical dimensions, mounting arrangement, connector position, or thickness.

Operating Temperature

The LQ150X1LX95 is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and a storage temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. Available technical references also specify a maximum vibration level of 1.0G.

These environmental specifications apply to the LCD module. The controller, power supply, cables, enclosure, and other electronics may have different operating limits.

For equipment operating close to the specified temperature limits, the complete display assembly should be evaluated according to the individual specifications of all components.

Industrial Applications

The LQ150X1LX95 is a 15-inch XGA TFT-LCD module with ASV technology, an 8-bit LVDS interface, and an integrated LED backlight driver. Its wide viewing angle and 4:3 format make it relevant to compatible industrial and legacy equipment.

Potential applications include:

• Industrial PCs
• HMI systems
• CNC machine interfaces
• Industrial control panels
• Factory automation equipment
• Machine monitoring systems
• Process control equipment
• Industrial instrumentation
• Measuring equipment

• Operator interface terminals
• Medical equipment
• Medical monitoring systems
• Legacy industrial machinery
• Industrial control and monitoring equipment

The actual suitability depends on the electrical, mechanical, environmental, controller, and backlight requirements of the target equipment.

Compatibility and Replacement Note

The Sharp LQ150X1LX95 should be selected as a replacement only after comparing its complete specifications with the original LCD.

Before purchasing or installing the panel, verify:

• Exact original LCD model and suffix
• 15.0-inch screen size
• 1024 × 768 resolution
• Active display area
• Viewing area
• Overall dimensions
• Panel thickness
• Mounting holes and mounting arrangement
• Connector type and location
• 20-pin connector configuration
• Complete LVDS pinout
• Single-channel LVDS configuration
• 8-bit signal configuration
• Display timing requirements
• 3.3V supply requirement
• LED backlight configuration
• Backlight supply requirements
• Backlight connector
• PWM backlight control
• Controller compatibility
• Operating temperature requirements
• Mechanical clearance

A similar 15-inch size, 1024 × 768 resolution, or 20-pin connector does not automatically mean another LCD is a direct replacement.

Connector type alone is not sufficient to establish compatibility. The exact model and suffix, dimensions, mounting, pinout, interface, voltage, display timing, backlight, and controller compatibility should all be verified.

The LQ150X1LX95 is documented as a single-channel LVDS display with a 3.3V supply and built-in LED backlight driver. These characteristics should be matched with the original equipment before installation.

There is also an important sourcing consideration: DigiKey currently lists LQ150X1LX95 as obsolete, while other panel references list it as in production. This difference may reflect supplier or database status, so the actual condition and availability of a specific unit should be confirmed before purchase.
