FEATURES
The application areas described below are arranged by Monitor Feature, thus enabling the designer to choose among the products offered by your particular feature preference. Should needs outside those listed arise, our applications engineers will be pleased to assist in choosing the right monitor for your job. We will provide the optimal display for your application at the lowest cost. Contact us at sales@ci-lumen.com or communicate with a sales engineer at a location listed in the Contact Info page.

		High Resolution This feature takes on two meanings – one relative and one absolute: 1.) In a relative sense, when identical panels are offered with different resolutions, the higher resolution one will be designated to have this feature. 2.) In an absolute sense, resolutions higher than XGA will be designated as having this feature.

		Extended Temperature Range Normal Operating Temperature range is typically 0 to 55 deg C. Extended Operating Temperature Range is typically -20 to +70 deg C. Normal and Extended Storage Temperature Range is -20 to +80 deg C. Other options are available.

		Wide Viewing Angle This feature is implemented by addition of an enhancement film. In some cases, however, the viewing angle is maximized by virtue of the LCD panel's base design.

		Improved Readability This feature reduces glare and reflections of the display. Bonding is a prerequisite.

		Enhanced Brightness This feature makes the display brighter by application of enhancement films and/or improved diffusers and/or the addition of LED Backlighting. Varying degrees of enhancement are optionally available.

		Sunlight Readable We are defining sunlight readable to mean a bonded panel with sufficient luminance to be readable in outdoor conditions. LED backlighting may or may not be added to increase luminance. Varying levels of sunlight readability are optionally available.

		Increased Contrast Ratio This feature falls directly from bonding glass onto a panel. Minimum contrast ratios of bonded panels are 500:1.

		Ruggedized This feature falls directly from bonding glass to a panel. Additional ruggedness may be achieved by employing LED backlighting.

		Vandal Shield Vandal shielding is provided by either bonding up to 6 mm thick glass to the panel or, in the case of larger monitors where bonding is not an option, adding a tempered glass panel to the enclosure bezel.

		EMI Attenuated EMI levels are reduced by two methods: 1.) Special glass is bonded to the panel reducing radiated emissions and/or 2.) LED backlighting is used to eliminate the EMI generated by inverters.

		Touchscreen Touchscreen integration is offered for inputting of data choices via direct selection from the display. Touch panels are available in digital and analog types. There are three types of analog touch panels i. e. resistive, capacitive and acoustic.

		Moisture Resistant (NEMA 4) A moisture resistant enclosure is utilized for applications in high humidity or wetness environments. Our MR enclosures meet or exceed the requirements of the NEMA level 4 specification.

		LED Backlight These are used to provide several advantages to users. 1.) Increased ruggedness. LEDs are solid state devices and are more resistant to shock and vibration than CCFL backlights; 2.) Increased reliability. LEDs have longer lifetimes than CCFL backlights 3.) Lower EMI levels. LED backlights require no inverters, which are major generators of EMI. 4.) Increased brightness/Lower power. LEDs can be driven to higher luminance levels than CCFL backlights. Conversely, lower power is required to achieve normal brightness levels than CCFL backlights. 5.) NVIS enabling. Displays may be enabled for use with night vision goggles if using LED backlighting. 6.) Instant on – no time delay upon startup 7.) Cold Temperature operation – Since the limiting factor for cold temperature operating is the CCFL, the use of LED backlighting extends the lower limit to -20 deg C for all panels so equipped.

		Improved Reliability Falls directly out of use of LED backlighting, which results in longer backlight lifetimes.

		Night Vision (NVIS) Enabled Additional backlight elements, which are compatible with night vision goggles, may be added to panels fitted with LED backlighting. Dual mode operation is provided for viewing without goggles.
