Rugged Displays Support Versatile Design Choices

摘要

Rugged displays and touchscreens provide interaction with users in environments ranging from tanks and fighter jets to kiosks and industrial control systems. No one system fits all needs, and designers have a wide range of choices that includes wireless solutions. Very rugged environments might utilize a system's approach like the Parvus DuraVIS 4310 (Fig. I). This system has a 6.5-in. thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD with LED backlighting, an acrylic protective window, and MIL-C-14806-compliant anti-reflective coating. It's ITO-coated (indium tin oxide) for glare and electromagnetic interference (EMI) control. Also, it boasts a 1.5-GHz Intel Core2 Duo Processor and associated hardware. It tends to be at the extreme end of rugged solutions.
