The Company
Driving Industry Standards
Flat panel technology
In addition to designing products based on indus-
try standard formfactors and featuring the latest
technological advancements, Kontron’s engineers
are embedded computer innovators. Kontron
s
engineering teams create benchmark standards for
cutting-edge embedded solutions. ETX (Embedded
Technology eXtended), which was originally deve-
loped by Kontron, has become the standard for
custom-designed solutions based on
Computer-On-
Modules. Kontron’s DIMM-PC, X-board,
E²Brain and
the latest COMexpress/ETXexpress based on PCI-
Express are blazing new trails in embedded tech-
nology.
Embedded boards and modules from Kontron all
have exceptional support for flat panel techno-
logy. They support numerous flat panel sizes
and resolutions, from small, quarter-panel VGA
displays to the latest UXGA displays. Embedded
products from Kontron support both digital and
LVDS interfaces, either directly onboard or through
a simple adapter interface. Flat panel interface
standards such as JILI and JIPA, developed by
Kontron, make the integration of flat panels,
including software and cabling, quick and easy.
