Display and Filter Mounting Techniques - AN115

From Planar Systems, Inc.
 

 

One of the advantages of electroluminescent (EL) displays when compared to other flat panel technologies is that they are extremely rugged. Properly mounted, they can withstand high shock loads as well as the severe vibration found in aggressive environments. However, if not mounted properly, the glass panel used in an EL display will break when subjected to bending stresses or excessive loads.

The AF, AG and AM displays were designed to facilitate the mounting of optical treatments and touchscreens on the viewing side of the display. To this end, the glass extends in front of the mounting bezel by approximately 0.51 mm (0.02"). It is imperative that any mounting scheme apply uniform pressure at all times across the glass. Pressure applied to the corners or edge of the glass is likely to cause breakage. Certain cautions and techniques will assist you in designing an appropriate mounting for the display.
