II. LT3200 Product Description   

The Planar LT3200 is a high performance open frame transparent display for use indoors in a 
customer-designed enclosure.  Possible digital signage applications include various retail, 
marketing and other digital showcase uses.  The contemporary, bezel-less design and the 
Planar-modified, high-definition (HD, resolution 1366x768) active matrix liquid crystal display 
(AMLCD) provide extraordinary, eye-catching transparent display performance with best in 
class optical clarity, color saturation, contrast and black opacity.  The Planar-designed LED 
illumination system efficiently presents sufficient light intensity to fully illuminate the contents of 
the transparent display enclosure and AMLCD display simultaneously when a properly 
prepared enclosure is used.  In the LT3200, Planar has provided an open frame display design 
that enables our customers to create exceptional sales and marketing tools employing the 
latest in digital display technology.   

The LT3200 is composed of 2 primary components:  the display module and the driver box.  
The display module is fabricated from 5mm thick, heat-strengthened glass with an anti-
reflection coating on the first surface of the front glass.  The front glass is optically bonded to 
the transparent AMLCD.  This optically-bonded assembly is attached to the display chassis 
along with the LED illumination system and AMLCD drive circuitry.  Mounting brackets for the 
display are also located on the short sides of the frame.   

The driver box contains the LED controller and the video interface circuitry and can be located 
remotely from the display module by as much as four feet.  Power is supplied to the LT3200 
driver box through the four-pin connector of the 48V power supply brick.  The power brick is 
compatible with an input voltage range of 100 to 240VAC with a suitable power cord.   

Your computer or media player can (either) employ any digital output that interfaces with the 
LT3200 HDMI or Displayport input plugs.  The only additional hardware is the correct interface 
cable that matches your output plug and one of the LT3200 input plugs.  No other special 
additional hardware is needed.
