EL640.480-AG1 Series VGA Display
The EL640.480-AG1 series displays are 8.1" diagonal VGA products which offer
designers an affordable solution in demanding applications where superior visual
performance and environmental ruggedness are critical. Utilizing Planar’s
proprietary ICEBrite (Integrated Contrast and Brightness Enhancement)
technology, these displays excel in ambient light environments ranging from
dark to nearly sunlight-bright. This technology achieves very high contrast and
exceptionally clear images using a common 8-bit FPD-type interface compatible
with most LCD video controller chips.
The EL640.480-AG1 ET (AG ET) is the extended-temperature version of the
EL640.480-AG1 (AG) display. See temperature specifications on page 14 for more
information. The EL640.480-AG1 ET LP (AG ET LP) is the low-profile version of the
AG1 ET.
Through simple design and advanced manufacturing technologies, Planar’s new
VGA display family brings the visual performance and image quality of EL into
cost-sensitive applications that have up to now been limited by the performance
of LCD displays.

Options
Anti-glare and conformal coating options are available on this display.
The anti-glare option adds an anti-glare film to the front of the display to reduce
specular reflections (see Application Note 135 for more information).
The conformal coating option adds a protective layer to the display for
applications in which the display may be subjected to high humidity, dust, or salt
mist (see Application Note 122 for more information).
A locking connector, which is standard in the AG ET version, is optional with the
AG display.
