Sharp Calculators EL-W535TGBBL 16-Digit Scientific Calculator with WriteView, 4 Line Display, Battery and Solar Hybrid Powered LCD Display, Black & Blue, Black. EL-8008 (1975): Definitely a one-of-a-kind calculator in Sharp's lineup, this all-plastic early COS-LCD unit has a lever on one side of the display hood to facilitate lifting and quirky '70s styling. It resembles some of the plastic fluorescent display models that Sharp was producing in the mid-70s, notably the EL-8005.

The Sharp EL-5100 is a vintage calculator with formula storage. Up to 5 simple algebraic formulae (80 steps in total length) can be stored and executed. The machine offers no branching or conditionals, so loops or iterative programs cannot be entered. Nevertheless, it's quite an interesting and useful beast; the one I just received was obviously much loved by its previous owner.

I have not yet tried shoehorning my favorite example, the Gamma function into this calculator's formula memory; thanks to ten registers that can be used to store constants, it just might be possible to enter an expression of that complexity. For now, here's an improved version of Stirling's formula, one which provides a very good approximation of the Gamma function for large arguments (and a reasonable approximation for small ones):


Sharp calculators with Dynamic Scattering Mode (DSM) Liquid Crystal Displays

5100

Sharp was one of the pioneers of calculators using the DSM (Dynamic Scattering Mode) LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). These DSM LCDs have the now unusual feature of silver-like reflective digits on a dark background, rather than the now common black digits on a light background.

Although Sharp was one of the pioneers of LCD displays, Rockwell is usually credited with producing the first commercial LCD calculators the previous year, 1972, though these required an internal light source and were much larger; see the Lloyds Accumatic 100. However, Rockwell quit LCD calculators after a few models whereas Sharp persisted with the development of LCD displays and later produced many models with the now familiar LCD with black digits.

'COS' technology

Calculator Sharp El 1801v

Some of these DSM LCD calculators also employ Sharp's 'COS' (Crystal on Substrate) technology. This is a method of manufacture used in the early Sharp LCD calculators where the LCD is formed directly on a glass circuit board substrate (see the close-up photographs below) on which the other electronic components are also mounted. Some subsequent Sharp models with the reflective DSM LCD, although not having the LCD directly formed on the circuit board, are also commonly referred to, incorrectly, as 'COS' models.

The following details of the development of COS and the Sharp EL-805 are based on information kindly supplied by Sharp Corporation:
'A development team headed by Isamu Washozuka had been engaged in developing LCD devices for calculators. Although Rockwell had already produced some large, desktop, AC-powered LCD calculators, the Sharp team succeeded in integrating CMOS-LSI ICs and LCD devices onto a single glass substrate. This was termed COS or Crystal On Substrate.
Using this technology, the Sharp Compet EL-805 calculator was launched as the world first battery-powered LCD pocket calculator. This was a breakthrough in the sense that the MOS-LSI and LCD technologies established by this calculator was the starting point for the development of the low-power mobile appliances and personal computers of today.'

The true COS (Crystal on Substrate or Calculator on Substrate) calculator has a circuit board which is made of a glass-like ceramic — see the close-up photographs below. The LCD display is formed directly on this circuit board, which also carries at least two layers of conductive tracks separated by a white, insulating lacquer, and the electronic components. The glass circuit board has no holes in it, all of the components being surface-mount types. The user actually looks through the circuit board when viewing the display.

SINGLE TRIGGER WIRE GUN: for double trigger wire model, see 006N0039. Having recently bought a SIP MIGMATE 100, and after several hours of trying to MIG weld (well it certainly felt like hours) came to the conclusion I aught to stick to radio and electronics, and give up the welding altogether.

This use of the glass circuit board appears to have been a dead-end in the development of calculators, perhaps because of cost. Subsequent models from Sharp with this type of display have conventional circuit boards, though their LCD display modules have a similar construction to the display section on the glass circuit boards.

All the Sharp models with displays with reflective LCD characters are often referred to as COS models, though this should really only refer to the early examples with the glass circuit boards.

This allows ambient light coming at the best angle to be reflected of the digits to give optimal viewing of the display. How to install idm crack in windows 7. These hoods over the display often take the form of a flip-up display cover which also protects the display when the calculators is not in use.
