EL240.128.45 Display
The EL240.128.45 thin film electroluminescent (EL) small graphics
display utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast
Enhancement (ICE
™
) technology to achieve unparalleled image
quality without the use of expensive filters. This small graphics
display excels in a wide range of ambient lighting environments
while effectively eliminating the blooming common to other high-
bright displays.
The display consists of an EL glass panel and control electronics
connected using elastomeric interconnects into a space-saving,
rugged package for easy mounting and includes a DC/DC
converter. The EL240.128.45 is easily interfaced using a built-in
RAiO RA8835A standard LCD controller. Each of the pixels has
an aspect ratio of 1:1 (V:H) and is individually addressable to
clearly display high information content graphics and text.
