VarTech’s 15" All-Weather, All-Terrain, Harsh-Duty LCD Display System is waterproof (fully submersible) to IP67 standards and engineered to withstand the harshest environments and most demanding real world applications. The sunlight readable VT150XB4 is equipped with VarTech’s proprietary Enhanced Light Transmission Technology (ELTT) which allows for true Sunlight Readability and as well provides exceptional clarity and viewing angles. This advanced user friendly LCD display system provides extensive operational temperatures of -20°C to +70°C (-4° to 158°F)(standard) or -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F)(optional) and unprecedented video input capabilities from traditional VGA to up to FOUR individual direct composite BNC video feeds with easy one-touch toggle select function between each input.

Designed for diverse industrial, military and marine display applications. This advanced LCD module features a unique white LED backlight system, low power consumption, and a slim-line package that, while light weight, is highly resistant to shock / vibration and wide operational temperatures. This is NOT a consumer grade LCD cell.

Luminance Level: 1500 nits ( cd/m2 )
No risk of backlight hard failure
LED array provides light-source redundancy
No voltage in drive circuitry
Virtually instant warm-up
Superior electrical to light efficiency allows our LED backlit LCDs to provide sunlight readability while consuming significantly less power than that of traditional CCFL backlit panels.
Each LED backlit display is matched with our VTLED driver technology, the latest in technology for driving solid state High Bright Light Emitting Diodes (HBLEDs) (more details). This driver includes our patented mixed-mode dimming operation, for stable low end dimming and ultra wide dimming ranges, minimum 10,000:1.
LED backlights provide improved shock & vibration and improved brightness uniformity over CCFL backlights.
VarTech’s thermally efficient designs enhance the long life characteristics of the high bright LEDs. Projected lifetime of our LED backlights exceeds 75,000 hours.

Significantly improves Reflective Light Loss;
Provides the best reduction of ambient light washout of any commercially available enhancement technology;
Enhances structural integrity by supporting the LCD assembly with the cover glass;
Offers superior ruggedization, including enhancing the display's durability under vibration, shock and other environmental extremes;
Increases Extrinsic Contrast significantly;
Eliminates the air-gap between LCD and touch screen overlay:

Prevents the 'greenhouse' effect;
Prevents fogging and moisture build up;
Eliminates any contamination from dirt and/or other obstructive particles;

It boosts efficiency of the backlight's light utilization and minimizes the surface reflection of ambient light. The result is a transmissive enhancement that features higher contrast and a wider range of colors, even in bright outdoor light, than traditional reflective LCDs. This is accomplished by:

Recycling what would be wasted off axis light and then redirecting light towards the viewer;
Reflecting and recycling polarized light which under normal circumstances 50% of the backlight output would have been absorbed into the LCD and subsequently wasted;
Finally, the use of a multilayer, ultra-high reflectivity, mirror-like optical enhancement film that is used as a very efficient light guide and cavity reflector with a reflectivity of 98.5% across the visible spectrum which provides a brighter more efficient display.

Changing temperatures, dust, salt, and moisture considerably impact the electronics of marine equipment. Rain or splashing sea water, for example, can cool down an electronic enclosure dramatically, causing a vacuum of 200 mbar (3 psi) or more inside the enclosure. If the pressure is not equalized, air and moisture are drawn through the seal into the enclosure where the moisture condenses on the cooler inner walls. This can considerably impair performance. VarTech's protective pressure equalization venting system is a barrier against this type of contamination. The vent is waterproof and dustproof to IP69K standards (more details).
