From Planar Systems, Inc.

The ability to tier a high-performance monochrome and color display offers the best opportunity for end product differentiation. To date, differences in mechanical and electrical specifications between Planar electroluminescent (EL) and various color active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) have made this a very difficult proposition. It is Planar's objective to provide its customers with the tools and products they need to quickly and reliably develop a tiered product line.

With the introduction of Planar's ColorBrite line of AMLCD products, Planar will now provide tiering solutions around our industry leading monochrome EL and color AMLCD products. Customers can design a simplified product line with a minimal number of changes to allow the designer to simply drop in either a monochrome EL or color AMLCD display subsystem. Mounting, cabling, and interfacing differences can be minimized through techniques presented here. This application note assists system designers with the considerations associated with tiering an EL640.480-AM1 with an NL6448AC33-18.
