OT: I'm idly curious why that display (photo: https://www.mouser.com/images/vishay/hd/O020N002ALPP5N000A_t.jpg https://www.mouser.com/images/vishay/hd/O020N002ALPP5N000A_t...) has what appears to be a detached single vertical column of presumably-unusable pixels on each side of the active area. Obviously to do with manufacturing, but... ?ˀ?
(I'm also curious about the "Pricing: Request a quote" bit. Doesn't seem to be "not for new designs", but does have a bit about "Factory special order", so perhaps this is just an indication of unusually limited supply or something.)
- sircastor 5y agoHere's my reckless guess: These matrices are manufactured in a continuous strip and cropped at the appropriate length, then the interface is attached to the cells and it's sealed in its case. It would allow the factory to produce varying sizes of display.
