The Flat-Panel Display (TFT)
Your FlexPAC portable computer includes a large 14.1 inch, high resolution
(XGA) Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AML CD). Kontron uses only
high performance active matrix color panels for it’s displays. Since the
FlexPAC includes on board video, a video controller card is not necessary.
The AM LCD display provides high visual acuity, as well as excellent
contrast, over a wide range of ambient lighting. AML CD displays use less
power than the vacuum-fluorescent, cathode-ray-tube (CRT) and plasma
displays. The display has a cold cathode fluorescent backlight, giving bright
but evenly distributed lightening across the entire screen area.
