displays are designed and manufactured for
performance, reliability, easy maintenance and long life. The pixels have a 46 mm
center-to-center spacing and are lit using LEDs (light emitting diodes). A light sensor
on the front of the primary display is used for automatic dimming of the LEDs based
on the ambient light levels. The configuration of pixels depends on the model of
display ordered.
