EL480.240-PR2/PR3 Display
The EL480.240-PR2 and EL480.240-PR3 thin film electroluminescent
(EL) displays are low cost, high performance alternatives to industry-
standard monochrome LCDs. The EL480.240-PR2/PR3 utilizes Planar’s
proprietary Integral Contrast and Brightness Enhancement (ICEBrite
)
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 EL480.240-PR2/PR3 consists of an EL glass panel and control
electronics assembled into a space-saving, rugged package for easy
mounting. The EL480.240-PR2/PR3 is easily interfaced using standard
4-bit LCD control signals. Each of the 115,200 pixels has an aspect ratio
of 1:1 (V:H) and is individually addressable to clearly display high
information content graphics and text.
The EL480.240-PR3 model is identical to the EL480.240-PR2 model with
the exception of series resistors included on selected internal signals
on the EL480.240-PR3. There are no fit, form, or function differences
between the two models. The specifications in this manual apply to
both the EL480.240-PR2 and the EL480.240-PR3.
