Lumex announces the global launch of their InfoVue™ Extreme Temperature series of custom, high-duty LCD displays for applications that perform in extreme heat or extreme cold. Extreme Temperature LCD displays provide a number of key benefits including reliable performance in a wider range of extreme temperatures, enhanced visual display quality and significant technology cost and energy savings.

"Previously LCDs that operated in extreme cold or extreme heat required bulky built-in heaters and coolers in order to ensure performance," explained Brian Coates, Market Development Manager, at Lumex. "The special liquid crystal used in the InfoVue Extreme Temperature LCDs eliminate the need for coolers and allows us to use low-power heaters -- allowing our LCDs to perform in more extreme conditions. Custom-designed InfoVue Extreme Temperature LCD displays now provide superior performance and cost savings compared to alternative off-the-shelf technologies."

Whereas existing LCD technology performed in the -20°C to +70°C temperature range, InfoVue High/Low Temp displays provide reliable, consistent high-quality performance from -40°C to +85°C –, making Lumex LCD technology a viable solution for a growing number of extreme condition applications. The growing demand for extreme-condition LCD technology can be seen in military, freezer, gas pumps/fuel meters, non-automotive transportation, and non-climate controlled facility applications.

Custom-designed InfoVue Extreme Temperature LCD displays can provide a 50% savings in technology costs and 80% energy savings when compared to alternative technologies such as vacuum fluorescents.

Extreme Temperature LCD displays also offer significant visual performance benefits. Whereas conventional LCD displays can only provide alphanumeric displays in a limited number of segments and colors, Extreme Temperature LCD displays provide full graphic capability and daylight visibility. When combined with LED backlighting technology, a wide range of color options are available. Users can either opt for a monochromatic screen with any color of LED backlight, or select negative image option with mono colored pixels and a black background.

InfoVue Extreme Temperature displays can be produced in sizes ranging from 8 x 1 character displays to 320 x 240 pixel graphic displays.

Custom production quantities of the InfoVue Extreme Temperature technology are available in 12 weeks.
