Sun Vision Display panels are100% reflective, meaning they have no backlight whatsoever. This makes them an excellent computer monitor solution for people looking to reduce blue light exposure or other common issues reported by people withcomputer-related vision syndromes. It also makes them an incredible solution for advertising in sunny places, where it can be difficult to view other display technologies - all without racking up hefty energy costs.

Backlit LCDs provide excellent visibility indoors, but require high-brightness backlights to produce enough brightness for for direct sunlight readability - 1000 nits or more, to be exact. All that brightness requires a lot of power to operate, making traditional high-brightness LCD signage costly in multiple ways.

Sun Vision Display panels actually turn sunlight into an asset through their reflective LCD technology.They"re the perfect solution for sunny locations. In fact, as sunlight or ambient light shining on the display increases, so does the brightness of the Sun Vision Display panel"s image - all while consuming almost no power (less than 6 watts). No need to shield the display from the sun!

A typical liquid crystal display’s screen washes out to black when exposed to direct sunlight and ultra violet radiation. In order for AbraxSys rugged monitors and embedded LCD computers to operate in high light environments, AbraxSys monitors utilize various passive enhancements to increase the sunlight readability of the touch screen. AbraxSys sunlight readable touch panels utilize an anti-glare surface coating, transflective backlight enhancement film, and an anti-reflective internal coating on the back and front of the LCD behind the surface coating. These enhancements adapt to the index of refraction to decrease reflection; thereby increasing the ratio of contrast and maximizing overall daylight viewability in high ambient light environments. (See figure below).

Through the application of AbraxSys special coatings, filters, and films, the screen achieves readability in direct sun even when backlighting is not increased. The result is a display with viewability equivalent to that of a 1000+ nit high bright monitor while not increasing the power draw and without the extra heat generated by more backlights. As a result, Abraxsys LCD monitor systems maximize the operating life cycle of the systems, yield higher processor capability, and widen the range of operational temperatures.

After adding passive enhancements to AbraxSys LCD monitors, AbraxSys’ active enhancements are then implemented. AbraxSys sunlight viewable monitors utilize advanced backlighting systems which maximize the sunlight readability and luminance of the screen’s performance. AbraxSys rugged monitors also utilize LED and CCFL technologies to deliver the best sunlight readable solution for your industrial, commercial, or outdoor environment. AbraxSys LED backlights deliver an ultra-bright screen with a lower power-draw and lower heat levels compared to CCFL technology. All of these enhancements make AbraxSys ultra-bright, sunlight readable monitors and embedded computers achieve exceptionally higher luminance levels when compared to conventional and consumer grade LCD monitors. AbraxSys extreme-performance LCDs and computers produce the image intensity and display brilliance required from your sunlight readable systems.

Maximize the readability and at-a-glance performance of TFT/AMLCD monitors by adding an optically bonded LCD TFT display from AbraxSys Corporation. Combining LED backlight enhancement, optical bonding, and optical coatings, AbraxSys can help you fulfill your LCD monitor and touch screen interface requirements in high light areas. AbraxSys offers a state of the art optical bonding production center with a proven record in producing high quality sunlight readable LCD systems. AbraxSys Corporation also offers comprehensive in-house optical contrast and luminance test verification, a certified clean room, and total environmental protections.

Typical LCDs are sufficient for most indoor environments, but do not provide enough readability outdoors or in industrial settings with harsh lighting. A typical LCD also lacks the protections to deliver high performance in rugged or extreme environment applications. OEM LCD companies do not produce LCD monitors and computers that perform in these extreme applications and conditions. A common option to enhance conventional LCDs are implementing passive enhancements such as coatings and optical bonding in order to decrease display washout while under direct sunlight. Another common tactic is to implement active enhancements that increase the brightness of the screen. AbraxSys’ line of high performance optically bonded LCD displays offer both active and passive enhancements to deliver high quality screen interfaces for high light or rugged industrial environments requiring hardened systems.

Screen brightness and luminance are important factors for industrial and commercial LCD monitors because they affect readability. The AbraxSys sunlight readable solution is to utilize both passive and active enhancements to deliver maximum brightness and decrease the power consumption of the backlight source. AbraxSys achieves high sunlight readable performance by applying optical coating, advanced design reflection pattersn on light guide bottom, unique radiation technology, and utilizing a LED light bar for backlighting technology (rather than CCFL). The AbraxSys high brightness solution increases the day-time and night-time visibility performance in a wide range of outdoor, industrial, and commercial applications. AbraxSys sunlight readable monitors are ideal for such applications such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), in-vehicle satellite televisions, telephone both screens, and commercial outdoor displays.

TRU-Vu High Bright Sunlight Readable Monitors enable users to see clear, sharp video images even in direct sunlight with a bright screen.  Our high brightness displays produce at least 1,000 nits brightness. Some go up to 2,500 nits of brightness.  This makes them far brighter than standard LCD monitors.  Specifically, consumer or commercial-grade monitors typically offer only 150 to 300 nits brightness.  High brightness displays and sunlight readable touch screens will ensure crystal-clear video images even in bright sunlight. The result is better performance and bold colors in other high ambient light conditions as well. They are also available with optical bonding as monitors or touch screen displays.

In outdoor or bright conditions, it is imperative to increase the brightness of a display to ensure crisp images.  The number of nits an LCD display emits is the main factor in determining the monitor’s perceived brightness. A monitor luminance of around 200-350 nits will work well indoors.  Most LCD displays and monitors fall in this range. However, 400-700 nits would be required for use in daylight conditions. Most importantly, a Sunlight readable display requires at least 1,000 nits or more for viewing in direct, bright sunlight . These high brightness displays are available with 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3 aspect ratio screens.  All TRU-Vu Sunlight Readable monitors and high-brightness touch screens are TAA Compliant.

Some monitors feature a sheet of glass over the LCD panel to protect it from accidental or intentional damage. However, the glass also produces unwanted glare and reflections. Internal reflections in the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel diminish image quality even further. In order to combat this, monitors are optically bonded.

Optical bondingis the process of laminating protective glass or a touch screen panel to the LCD panel with an optical-grade resin.  This completely fills the air gap between the glass and LCD panel. It not only eliminates the internal reflections, but  also increases the contrast ratio. This makes the screen appear much brighter and more viewable in bright light conditions. Optical bonding  also eliminates internal moisture and condensation. Moreover, it will make the monitor more rugged and durable. Lastly, an Anti-Reflective coating is applied to the outside of the glass. Consequently, this will drastically reduce glare and surface reflections.

For installations in indirect sunlight, or reflected bright light, our Daylight Viewable displays will most likely suffice. These are also more cost-effective than Sunlight Readable monitors with 1,000 nits brightness. Daylight viewable monitors feature  LCD screens with 400 nits to 700 nits brightness.  The LCD panels also include optical bonding.

Daylight-viewable touchscreens with optical bonding are also significantly brighter than standard touch screens. Consequently, they produce far better image quality in bright conditions. Although they are not as bright as High Brightness Sunlight Readable touch screens, daylight readable touch screens do offer the benefit of lower power consumption. This may be useful in portable or mobile applications. We currently offer over 60 monitors with optical bonding; all are TAA-Compliant.

Our outdoor high brightness Sunlight Readable LCD monitors feature waterproof stainless steel enclosures. These are ideal for factory wash-down environments.  Additionally, they are perfect for outside use in challenging weather.  Our panel mount enclosures are made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. This enables them to be flush-mounted. Outdoor LCD monitors with high brightness work in a wider range of temperatures. Consequently, this broadens the environments in which they may be used. Additionally, temperature ranges are very important to consider when using outdoors.  When we combine extreme operating temperatures with outdoor waterproof enclosures, we ensure your high brightness monitors will be able to function in even the harshest wet and hot environments. We will also modify or customize any model to meet your exact requirements.

In conclusion, we deploy TRU-Vu outdoor waterproof sunlight readable monitors and high brightness touch screens in a wide range of industries. For example, military, law enforcement, manufacturing plants benefit from high bright LCD displays. Amusement parks, sports stadiums, mass transit, and construction & heavy equipment also rely on high bright sunlight readable displays.  In addition, outdoor high brightness LCD monitors are demanded in pipeline inspection,  kiosks, marine,  oil & gas, drones, security applications. When it counts, you can rely on TRU-Vu Monitors to deliver the optimal weather resistant high bright LCD monitor solution for your specific needs.

When display devices are brought outside, oftentimes they face the brightness of sunlight or any other form of high ambient light sources reflecting off of and overwhelming the LED backlight’s image.

With the growth of the LCD panel industry as a whole, it has become more important than ever to prevent the sun’s wash out of displays used outdoors, such as automobile displays, digital signage, and public kiosks. Hence, the sunlight readable display was invented.

One solution would be to increase the luminance of the TFT LCD monitor’s LED backlight to overpower the bright sunlight and eliminate glare. On average, TFT LCD screens have a brightness of about 250 to 450 Nits, but when this is increased to about 800 to 1000 (1000 is the most common) Nits, the device becomes a high bright LCDand a sunlight readable display.

Since many of today’s TFT LCD display devices have shifted to touchscreens, the touch panels on the surface of LCD screens already block a small percentage of backlighting, decreasing the surface brightness and making it so that the sunlight can even more easily wash out the display. Resistive touch panels use two transparent layers above the glass substrate, but the transparent layers can still block up to 5% of the light.

In order to optimize the high brightness of the backlight, a different type of touchscreen can be used: the capacitive touchscreen. Though it is more expensive than the resistive touch screen, this technology is more ideal for sunlight readable displays than the resistive due to its usage of a thinner film or even in-cell technologies rather than two layers above the glass of the display, and therefore, light can pass more efficiently.

A recent technology falling into the sunlight readable display category is the transflective TFT LCD, coming from a combination of the word transmissive and reflective. By using a transflective polarizer, a significant percentage of sunlight is reflected away from the screen to aid in the reduction of wash out. This optical layer is known as the transflector.

In transflective TFT LCDs, sunlight can reflect off the display but can also pass through the TFT cell layer and be reflected back out off a somewhat transparent rear reflector in front of the backlight, illuminating the display without as much demand and power usage from the transmissive nature of the backlight. This addresses both the issues of wash out and the disadvantages of high brightness TFT LCDs in high ambient light environments. Because of its transmissive and reflective modes, this type of device is very useful for devices that will be used outdoors but also indoors.

While it does greatly reduce power consumption, transflective LCDs are much more expensive than high brightness LCDs. In recent years, the cost has decreased, but transflective LCDs continue to be more costly.

In addition to adjustments to the internal mechanics of LCDs, it is possible to make devices more sunlight-readable using surface treatments. The most common are anti-reflective (A/R) films/coatings and anti-glare processing.

Often paired with other methods of creating sunlight readable displays is optical bonding. By gluing the glass of a display to the TFT LCD cells beneath it, optical bonding eliminates the air gap that traditional LCD displays have in them using an optical grade adhesive.

This adhesive reduces the amount of reflection between the glass and LCD cell as well as the reflection of external ambient light. Doing this helps provide a clearer image with an increased contrast ratio, or the difference in the light intensity of the brightest white pixel color and darkest black pixel color.

With this contrast ratio improvement, optical bonding addresses the root issue with unreadable outdoor displays: the contrast. Though an increase in brightness can improve contrast, by fixing the contrast itself, LCD display images in outdoor environments will not be as washed out and will require less power consumption.

The optical bonding adhesive’s elimination of the air gap also protects the LCD from moisture/fogging and dust, as there is no space for impurities to penetrate and remain under the glass layer. This especially helps with maintaining the state of LCDs in transport, storage, and humid environments.

Compiling the various methods of improving LCD screens for sunlight readability, these devices can be optimized in high ambient light settings. An anti-glare coating is applied to the surface of the glass and anti-reflective coatings are applied to both the front and back. The transflector is also used in front of the backlight. These features can result in 1000 Nit or more display lighting, without the excessive power consumption and heat production through a high brightness backlight, consequently allowing for a longer lasting and better performing LCD

Unfortunately, the process of building a reflector inside TFT LCD is complicated and transflective TFT LCD is normally several times higher cost compared with normal transmissive TFT LCD.

To further improve and enhance the qualities of the LCD, LED and cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlights are used. Both these create bright displays, but the LED specifically can do so without as much power consumption and heat generation as compared to the CCFL option. Optical bonding is also applied in order to improve display contrast, leading to a more efficient and better quality sunlight readable display.

LCDs used in outdoor situations have many concerns to deal with in addition to any that they might normally encounter during indoor use. Initially some concerns are weather related such as moisture in the air or extreme temperatures. Another concern that is often not understood or just not known about at all is sunlight damage.

Liquid crystal displays use organic components that are susceptible to UV (<400 nm) and IR (>750 nm). These bandwidths of radiation have an observable impact on the organic components in LCDs. Extended exposure has been known to cause a color shift and a washed out look to images displayed with the LCD.

In any case it is important to protect your display from the elements, especially if it is going to be exposed to harsh environments not intended by the manufacturer. One way to do this would be to utilize a Hot Mirror with a UV blocker. This will significantly reduce the amount of IR radiation between 750 nm and 1200 nm, as well as the UV radiation below 400 nm. If the LCD is going to be used outdoors for extended periods then an extended hot mirror may be necessary, which extends the bandwidth protection out to 1600 nm and will help reduce some of the longer wavelength IR damage.

Another concern with liquid crystal displays are their susceptibility to overheating due to excess IR radiation. The LCD is intended to operate within a certain range of temperatures according to the manufacturer’s instructions and outdoor use can lead to higher than normal temperatures. The display being exposed to excessive heat can cause the crystal to become isotropic and fail to perform properly. A hot mirror can help alleviate these concerns as well by reducing the amount of infrared radiation that heats the display.

Most outdoor digital displays will be exposed to high ambient temperatures and direct sun-load at some point throughout the year. Considering that these digital displays need to be “sealed” to protect them from rain, snow, and dust, placing them inside a sealed enclosure further compounds the problem of internal heat build-up.

LG-MRI BoldVu® displays are a little different. In our CoolVu® system we don’t use air conditioners or air filters and we never expose electronics, display surfaces, optical films, or backlight assemblies to ambient air. CoolVu® is a heat exchanging system that cools electronics with a sealed volume of air that continually circulates across the surface of the LCD and over the electronic components. A separate volume of air passes through isolated channels and exhausts the heat out of the display chassis. In this system, all electronics are kept in a cool, dry and clean environment, which prolongs their life and significantly reduces field failures and associated maintenance costs.

Sunlight visibility of a display depends on the difference between the brightness and reflectivity of the display with the ambient light shining on the display from the outside world. When additional surfaces, like a touch screen, come into play the ability to see a display in sunlight becomes increasingly difficult, due to the additional reflections. Reflection is caused by an impedance mismatch between air and glass or Plastic, which makes whites brighter, while diluting black and other colors. This vastly decreases the contrast of the display. Contrast ratio is a critical factor that can influence the readability.

All of the above issues are related to each other, making the sunlight readable requirement complicated. Jaco Display Solutions" in-house engineers manage the right balance between these issues in order to offer a cost-efficient solution that enhances the sunlight readability of any display.

When an LCD is used in a high ambient lighting area, outdoors or even in direct sunlight a normal brightness display becomes almost unreadable. Most people have experienced this phenomenon using their mobile phones, tablets, and notebooks outdoors or when sitting near a window on a sunny day. The display looks hazy, dark, and may even have a halo over the screen. As an individual you have the option to turn the hand-held device to shade it from the bright light to read the information. Could you imagine passing at mid-day by a street-side shop with a display showing their products advertising sales items or specials, but the display can’t be read. The customer would not know what messages the shop is trying to deliver. A missed opportunity to make an impression on a potential customer. All the money spent on the advertisement and equipment but did not capture the attention of the customer because the display was too dark. A sunlight readable LCD displays, also known as a high brightness display are designed to operate in an outdoor setting or in direct sunlight. These products are designed to be very rugged and durable to meet the most the challenging environmental conditions. These are a must have requirement when developing industrial displays used in environments such as oil and gas, marine, military, agriculture where a product must perform for long periods of time.

There are several technical approaches and various enhancement methods to increase screen viewability and reliability in the sunlight. The primary enhancement is to develop a backlight system that increases the brightness of the LCD to overcome a brightly lit environment. There are other technologies that can be added to a high bright backlight such as transflective enhancement (Meaning both Transmissive and Reflective) that will use some of the ambient lighting to make the screen more readable in bright environments. Direct backlighting technology now includes local dimming. This feature concentrates the backlight only in an area where the image needs to be bright further increasing contrast of the LCD display. Other enhancement includes the use of Anti-Reflective and Anti-Glare (AR/AG) cover glass that is optically bonded to the LCD front surface to minimize reflective loss and improve contrast of the display.

Sunlight Readable displays is a core competence of Litemax since the company’s inception. Most displays offered from Litemax include at least a 1,000-nit backlight. Litemax proprietary backlight design, internal heat sinking of the LED junction allows their engineering teams to develop a bright backlight while minimizing over all power and internal heat. This is important for displays used outdoors as brightness is one concern, so is heat built up due to thermal loading caused by the sun. Custom backlights can be developed upon request to even higher brightness of 2,000, 2,500 or even 3,000 nits. The high brightness ensures perfect visual readability under any lighting condition. Below is a table that outlines a brightness that would be suitable based on the environment and application.

One of the methods for minimizing backlight heat and improving outdoor viewability is to enhance the LCD with a Transflective (transmissive-reflective) layer This layer allows ambient light to be reflected through the LCD display, re-directing the light to make the LCD viewable in a brightly lit situation. This enhancement improvement is one of the state-of-the-art technologies for high-performance color-reduced power consumption for displays used outdoors.

AOT (Advanced Optical Bonding) is one of Litemax’s many patents. Optical Bonding is an enhancement that improves readability by minimizing reflective surfaces. This combined with index matching the coatings of the cover element to the adhesive layers further reducing internal reflective surfaces to minimize reflective loss creates the brightest, clearest rich images available in an outdoor display product. AOT is the use of an optical-grade adhesive to laminate anti-reflection glass, touch screens, heaters, and EMI shields to the top surface of a display. This method eliminates the air gap between the cover glass and the display enhancing readability in sunlight. The other advantage of optical bonding is to fill in the air gap where moisture can accumulate in high humidity outdoor environments and the display’s ability to resist impact damage improves significantly. As the pioneer in sunlight readable displays, Litemax strives to develop new leading-edge products and processes for use in the most demanding market segments. These enhancements help overcome the challenges our customers face when deploying a display in a rugged outdoor environment.

Most of the energy that reaches the Earth’s surface comes from the Sun. Solar radiation is in the visible light wavelengths that we can see. The Sun also emits infrared, ultraviolet, and other wavelengths of energy that is invisible. Of the solar energy that reaches the earth, UV wavelengths have the greatest energy. The remaining solar radiation is the longest wavelength, infrared. Most objects radiate infrared energy, which we feel as heat. This heat can be absorbed by a display when it is in direct sun light. This absorption of the external heat is known as solar loading or thermal loading. To combat solar loading Litemax has developed unique materials and process to add as enhancements to minimize the heat that can build up in the LCD from being exposed to direct sun light. One of the technologies is Anti UV/IR Coatings. Using these coating technologies improves the total solar energy rejection from a Litemax display. This can be up to 53% rejection of these invisible solar allowing the LCD to perform in the most demanding locations.
