optically bonded lcd monitors in stock
Alibaba.com offers 233 optical bonding monitors products. such as return and replacement, call center and on-line technical support, and repair. You can also choose from led, lcd. As well as from new, stock, and open-box. And whether optical bonding monitors is for home and student, or industrial.
Optically bonding an LCD, OLED or Plasma display improves both optical performance and durability. By selecting an appropriate adhesive that matches the index of refraction of the flat panel and the overlay, General Digital is able to remove all of the air gaps, thus reducing the number of internal reflecting surfaces that can lead to degradation of optical performance. Providing a durable adhesion between the flat panel and the overlay improves the displays’ ability to resist shock, vibration and moisture.
On the practical side, the adhesive must also provide adequate bond strength, have a reasonable pot life after preparing, not present any health or safety issues, be available at reasonable cost from reliable sources, and cure to the proper finished bond condition using temperatures and times that are friendly to optical bonding facilities. Fortunately, there exist a relatively large number of choices. Typical bonded overlays include contrast enhancement filters, EMI/RFI filters, vandal shields, touch screens, and thermal heaters.
Bonded display assemblies mimic shatterproof glass. Although the bonded overlay can fracture from impact, the adhesive prevents/minimizes broken pieces from becoming airborne and endangering the operator and other nearby personnel.
The in-the-frame design is currently in limited production, primarily for avionic applications. The adhesive is epoxy, which was selected so that the bezel could be affixed to the display’s metal frame, with the bonded antireflective glass extending into the opening, reducing any issues of viewing angle and parallax to the display.
One drawback to the under-the-frame and in-the-frame bonds is that they are not suitable for making a liquid-proof seal to the bezel of the monitor. To accomplish this, monitor builders usually prefer to form a seal to the antireflective glass. In this case, an over-the-frame bond is necessary. This bond design is also required in the case of an optically bonded touch sensor. The details of the bond may vary slightly, depending on the nature of the overlay. However, in general, an appropriate gasket is placed onto the face of the OEM frame, forming a well-defined bond thickness and protecting the edge of the seal from abrasion.
It is, of course, possible to bond more than one overlay to the display. A specific example is the use of a conductive glass to control EMI, which is bonded to a touch sensor. As of this writing, General Digital Optical Bonding Laboratories has produced over 475 displays of this design for an aerospace application.
This bond design is the preferred over-the-frame bond. A gasket is applied between the LCD, OLED or Plasma display and the overlay and the space between them is then filled with adhesive.

The modified Saber Standalone also features standard VESA mounting capability, as well as a built-in, front-monted speaker. This commercial-/industrial-grade monitor is slated for release in 2011.
In addition to a revised web site, General Digital is implementing a new naming structure for its RGB and Chassis Monitor line of LCD monitors. This change was instituted in an effort to simplify our many LCD product offerings. Therefore, the RGB and Chassis Monitor lines (PanelMount, RackMount, Industrial) will be merged into the Saber Series (PanelMount, RackMount, Standalone). The OEM Monitor Kit and Chassis Monitor Kit will be merged into the Impact Series. Also, the extension of Solar to any model name indicates that the monitor series is available with daylight readable and sunlight readable capability. The model number system will remain unchanged.
General Digital is incorporating more of its rugged LCD monitors with LED backlit displays. LED backlights have several advantages over CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlights: they"re able to withstand harsher shock and vibration environments, they can easily operate at temperatures as low as -40° C, their low voltage allows them to run at high altitudes with no risk of arcing, their low IR (infrared) signature makes them ideal for NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) applications. General Digital has designed and sold several systems with display sizes of 8.4" to 20.1". Contact a Sales Engineer today to discuss how LED backlighting can benefit your application.
General Digital’s popular 1U high (1.75") SlimLine 1U™ flip-up LCD monitor/keyboard and SlimLine Micro™ flip-up LCD monitor will be available in 2U high (3.50") versions.

Stay tuned for more info or contact a Sales Engineer.
Briefly, the TwoView is comprised of two high-resolution LCD monitors (15", 17" or 19"), with an enclosure that has been beefed up to handle the extra load of dual monitors.
The General Digital-designed Intelligent Backlight Controller monitors and records key system performance data through the use of our “Intelligent Replace Before Fail” ICARUS™ and DAEDALUS™ software utilities. This lets maintenance crews track performance data, allowing them to predict potential failures, identify current failures, and evaluate the root cause of each failure, as well as facilitating service before a critical failure.
General Digital is pleased to announce an economical alternative to our venerable GenStar™ high brightness 20.1" LCD monitor. It was designed especially for those applications that require an affordable, sunlight readable solution with a large flat screen monitor. The 20.1" SXGA sunlight readable LCD display utilizes a combination of our GenFlective™ passive enhancements, and active enhancements in the form of brighter backlights, thereby achieving 600 nits of luminance. Our DHG-20W Series, DHP-20W Series and DHR-20W Series LCD monitors can easily incorporate these sunlight readable enhancements.
Just when you thought a rack mount flip-up LCD monitor couldn"t get any bigger. We’ve added a 20.1" display to our popular SlimLine Lite II™ line. You can now have the world’s first of its kind 20.1" flip-up LCD monitor with keyboard and trackball that will fit nicely in your 19" rack.
Housed inside a redesigned compact enclosure, with an externally-mounted power supply for increased cooling, are two XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) resolution LCDs. In their standard configuration each LCD produces a luminance of 300 nits and a 350:1 contrast ratio. Adding the cost-effective GenFlective™ brightness enhancements increases the luminance to 530 nits and a 575:1 contrast ratio.
Six of General Digital’s LCD monitors and our 1U Rack Mount 75 Watt Power Supply have undergone rigorous testing to establish their ability to meet military standard requirements for a variety of conditions. We’re happy to report they performed quite well. The results are listed below.
Note 4: Standard monitor configuration tested did not include any ITO overlays in front of the LCD. General Digital can provide optional filters (e.g., 5 ohm or 10 ohm) in front of the LCD that will allow the monitors to comply with RE102 requirements. Internal test data is available to support these claims.
General Digital has obtained U.S. Patent Number 6,825,828 B2 for our Intelligent Backlight Controller™ (IBC), designed specifically for use in the GenStar™. The GenStar is General Digital’s backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor comprising a backlight assembly, a cooling subassembly, a rear cover assembly and a controller. The IBC monitors bulb luminance and adjusts bulb current accordingly. Also, faults are monitored and logged so that predictive repair before failure analysis may be performed.
A patent is pending for General Digital’s™ XO-Fraim™, which uses a heavy frame to isolate an LCD from the antireflective, antiglare or other protective overlays of an LCD. It prevents the transmission of mounting stresses into the active cells of the LCD.
A patent is pending for General Digital’s™ GenSeal™, the application of a desiccating gasket between an LCD and a protective overlay, which prevents moisture from penetrating into the space between the LCD and the non-optically bonded overlay.
A true 1600 x 1200 resolution 20.1" LCD display in the form of our DH Series RGB Industrial™ standalone monitor, the DHG-20U-806. Now you can have UXGA resolution without the need for scaling the image. To complement this large, high resolution screen is our new video controller, which delivers 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution at 60 Hz. In addition, it offers DVI-D (Digital Video Interface-Digital), SXGA analog video and Composite Video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, RS-170). This video controller will be available on many of our other LCD monitors, as well.
General Digital’s GenStar™, our sunlight readable 20.1" LCD monitor designed for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Air Traffic Control applications, was featured in the April 2005 issue of Connecticut Life. The article, “Eye in the Sky at Bradley International” by Doug Malan, detailed a Day in the Life of an air traffic controller. Central to their day, which includes the safe passage of 20,000 aircraft monthly, are the LCD monitors used to track each one of those aircraft. They utilize a sophisticated program, Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), to track up to 1350 aircraft simultaneously, while reducing the amount and duration of air travel delays. STARS can also transmit important information to controllers, even in the event of a total hardware or software failure. Obviously, for such critical work, reliable equipment is crucial. That’s why Raytheon, the company who worked with the FAA and the Department of Defense (DoD) to design STARS, chose General Digital™ to supply the sophisticated and robust LCD monitors. Having been a customer for over 20 years, Raytheon knew General Digital™ had the technical expertise to build an efficient and reliable product to perfectly fit their needs. There are 50 airports in the U.S. expected to receive the STARS upgrade and General Digital™ expects to supply LCD monitors for each of them.
General Digital™ has designed a 20.1" model for our popular Rack Mount Hinge™ LCD Monitor. Remarkably, it is housed within a 2U (3.50") high, 20" deep, rack mount flip-up monitor enclosure. The LCD monitor also features multiple video inputs such as one UXGA input, two NTSC video inputs, and two S-Video inputs. Additionally, the 20.1" Rack Mount Hinge has the ability to display multiple video images in Picture-In-Picture windows. We expect to release it during the second quarter of 2005.
The 19.0" SlimLine 1U™ LCD Monitor/Keyboard/Trackball has successfully passed UL and FCC testing for use in FAA air traffic control towers and TRACONs and is now shipping. The SL1-19W-702 will serve as the official replacement model of the current model, SL1-19W-700, which is still available for a limited time.
General Digital™ announces a new LCD element for our popular 19.0" SlimLine 1U™ LCD Monitor/Keyboard/Trackball. Currently, the SL1-19W-702 is undergoing UL and FCC testing for use in FAA air traffic control towers and TRACONs. It is expected to get approval shortly. The current model of the SL1-19W-700 is still available for customers who don’t require a UL/ FCC-approved model.
Images shown on a monitor are reflections generated by light from the LCD module passing through the gap and the panel. The gap and panel have different refractive indexes, causing the light to bend when it passes through them. This results in a loss in its intensity, affecting the screen’s readability. By adhering the LCD module and panel together with optical bonding, the transmission of light is increased, improving the visibility of the display. This is useful when viewing a monitor with bright ambient lighting conditions. In most cases, a rugged monitor acts as a second line of visibility. Optical bonding strengthens the ability to see data clearly on the screen in environments where it might be difficult to read.
