Technical Specifications

The specifications above are based on AUO technical documentation and supporting product references for the G170EG01 Ver.1.

17-Inch SXGA Industrial Display

The AUO G170EG01 Ver.1 features a 17-inch screen with a 1280 × 1024 SXGA resolution and a 5:4 aspect ratio. Its active display area measures approximately 337.92 × 270.336 mm, providing a large viewing area for industrial interfaces, machine controls, monitoring systems, and equipment management applications.

The 5:4 format makes this panel suitable for industrial equipment and legacy systems designed around conventional 17-inch SXGA displays.

350 cd/m² Brightness and 800:1 Contrast

The G170EG01 Ver.1 provides a typical luminance of 350 cd/m² and an 800:1 contrast ratio. These specifications support clear differentiation between text, graphics, status indicators, and other elements displayed on industrial control interfaces.

The panel supports 16.7 million colors using a 6-bit + Hi-FRC configuration. Available technical references list approximately 71% NTSC color gamut coverage.

TN Normally White Display Technology

The G170EG01 Ver.1 uses TN, normally white, transmissive TFT-LCD technology. Its typical viewing angles are approximately 80° left, 80° right, 60° upward, and 80° downward at CR≥10. The specified optimum viewing direction is 6 o'clock.

This configuration is suitable for equipment where the display is installed in a defined position and primarily viewed from the operator's location.

Antiglare Surface with 3H Hard Coating

The panel features an antiglare surface with 3H hard coating. The antiglare finish helps reduce reflections from ambient lighting, while the hard coating provides additional surface protection against scratches during handling and normal operation.

This combination can be useful for industrial control panels, machine interfaces, and equipment operating under different lighting conditions.

2-Channel LVDS Interface with 30-Pin Connector

The AUO G170EG01 Ver.1 uses a 2-channel LVDS, 8-bit interface with a 30-pin connector. The typical LCD supply voltage is 5.0V.

For replacement applications, the connector type and resolution alone should not be used to establish compatibility. The complete pin assignment, LVDS configuration, signal timing, supply requirements, and host controller specifications should be verified before installation.

WLED Backlight with Integrated LED Driver

The G170EG01 Ver.1 incorporates a WLED edge-light backlight with an integrated LED driver. The specified minimum backlight life is approximately 50,000 hours.

The integrated LED driver provides the required backlight driving circuitry within the module. The host equipment must still provide the appropriate electrical supply and control conditions.

18 mm Maximum Panel Depth

The module has overall dimensions of approximately 358.5 × 296.5 × 18 mm maximum, with an active display area of 337.92 × 270.336 mm. It includes four M3 side mounting holes for equipment integration.

The mechanical dimensions and mounting arrangement should be checked carefully when using the panel as a replacement.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The G170EG01 Ver.1 supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and a storage temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

This wide temperature specification makes the panel suitable for industrial equipment exposed to significant temperature variations, provided the complete system is designed for the required environmental conditions.
