Overview:

High Brightness Displays for Improved Outdoor Viewability

Today, LCD panels typically produce a maximum brightness (white light) of 200–350 nits, which is insufficient luminance (brightness) in environments where they are exposed to high ambient lighting or direct sunlight—without requiring "value-added" improvements. It is General Digital's™ experience that a luminance of greater than 100 fL (343 nits) is required for daylight applications, and a luminance of greater than 200 fL (686 nits) is required for sunlight readable applications. It should be noted that the contrast ratio of the panel and the reflectance (surface and specular) of the viewing surface also play significant roles in determining a display's luminance requirement in high ambient lighting conditions. General Digital™ possesses the capability of augmenting the luminosity of most LCD panels by implementing one or more of the following product improvements:

• Replace standard backlight and inverter with "high brightness" backlight and inverter

• Add and / or replace LCD optical films

• Add contrast enhancement filters to surface of LCD display

• Optically bond contrast filters to LCD display to improve optical path and reduce surface and / or specular reflectance

Although General Digital™ has introduced our value-added "high brightness" capability to a number of our standard products, we have elected to integrate this capability primarily on a "semi-custom" basis. This decision is largely influenced by the impracticality of supporting all of the permutations of standard product that we now offer. We have found that a "tailored" solution of our standard product, rather than "off-the-shelf," will best meet customer's needs. And, in fact, many of our standard models are designed to accommodate sunlight and daylight readability. In some cases, General Digital™ will require a minimum purchase quantity or small non-recurring engineering charge to implement a "high brightness" upgrade.
