27. Cleaning the Display
27.1 Metal Surfaces
These can be wiped with an absorbent towel. Do not allow any liquid to get into the
electronic box.
Check the perforated metal of the electronic box periodically for accumulated dust.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the accumulation.
27.2 Cleaning Front AR Glass
Antireflective coatings can be difficult to clean to perfection. We recommend the
following:
Use a soft, lint-free towel or paper. Premium cheesecloth works well.
Use quality glass cleaner suitable for LCD screens. A premium grade of isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) can also be used, either by itself or as a supplement to the glass
cleaner. Use the IPA separately from the glass
cleaner, i.e. don’t mix them. Ideally
use different towels for each liquid.
Note:
IPA is flammable. DO NOT USE IPA NEAR AN OPEN FLAME OR OTHER
IGNITION SOURCE.
DO NOT allow either the glass cleaning solution or IPA to enter the electronic box or
the gap between the backside of the Display Glass and the Display Chassis.
Apply the cleaning liquid, glass cleaner or IPA sparingly to the towel (as opposed to
the glass surface) and start at one side of the screen. Use a circular motion and work
your way across the screen. The glass cleaner should evaporate to a clean, streak-
free surface. Some suggestions include:
Avoid coming in contact with the exposed perimeter found on the Planar
LookThru. Contact with the edge seal may result in introducing a residue onto the
AR coating. This will complicate the cleaning process.
If the surface is not streak-free, increase the amount of cleaner applied to the
cloth and replace the towels more often.
