Stanley GMF32024HBTW LCD display

The Stanley GMF32024HBTW is a 7.2-inch STN LCD module designed for basic visual applications where monochrome display suffices. With a resolution of 320×240 pixels, this panel offers enough clarity for simple graphics, textual interfaces, or industrial data monitoring systems.

The active area measures 121 mm × 91 mm, providing a generous display space without consuming too much room in embedded or legacy systems. Designed in STN (Super Twisted Nematic), black/white transmissive mode, it caters to low-power and cost-sensitive applications, common in older devices or systems where color isn’t essential.

While its luminance of 100 cd/m² is modest, it remains functional for indoor environments, although it may not be ideal for bright ambient light or outdoor use. The contrast ratio of 3:1 indicates minimal grayscale separation, meaning it can render clear text and static graphics, but won't deliver rich tonal depth.

Its response time of 300 ms reflects a limitation typical of STN technology — it's best suited for static content rather than motion graphics, as image transitions can appear delayed or blurry.

The module features a single CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight, sufficient for low-light viewing. However, CCFLs have shorter lifespans and higher power requirements compared to modern LED alternatives. This display is ideal for legacy systems, industrial instruments, or devices where simplicity and cost-efficiency are priorities.
