Special attention to the total backlight design gives the display a wide, "singleBEF" viewing angle while maintaining luminance efficiency greater than 45 nit/W. The display is convection cooled and does not require a fan, yet features a wide operating temperature range. It is lightweight, compact, and rugged, and includes an integrated inverter in a package approximately one inch thick. With fast cell response and an 18-bit (6 bits per color) video interface, this display can show full motion video images. The LC640.480.33-AC is designed, tested, and characterized as an integrated system made up of two subassemblies. The LCD subassembly includes a sealed optical cavity, and the backlight/inverter subassembly includes a cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlight and inverter. Due to the sealed optical cavity, the backlight subassembly may be replaced without exposing the back of the LCD cell and optical films to airborne contaminants. Features and Benefits 1000 nit typical luminance for sunlight-readability 3:1 contrast @ 100K Lux ambient for outdoor daylight use Wide +40/-60° vertical / ±70° horizontal viewing angle 100:1 digital dimming for efficient control over a wide range of ambient light 18-bit (6 bits per color) display interface for wide color range (262,144 colors) 30,000 hours MTBF for long service-free operating life Durable and lightweight enclosure for rugged conditions Convection cooling for operation without cooling fans 3H diffuse hard coated front surface for scratch protection Modular design for easy field replacement of backlight and inverter Automatic shutdown at low and high temperature extremes for product safety LC640.480.33-AC Operations Manual (OM600-01) 3 Installation and Handling Do not drop, bend, or flex the display.
