VarTech Company Information
Greetings from VarTech Vision, a monthly newsletter from
VarTech Systems Inc. Our goal is to keep you up-to-date on new product releases, industry trends, important technical data, and other interesting topics about
industrial LCD flat panels and ruggedized CRT displays.


NEW! Transflective Sunlight Readable LCD Displays
The primary goal of sunlight readability in a flat panel display is to achieve a high bright display without increasing the number of backlights which raises power consumption so additional heat has to be dissipated with fans or other cooling devices.

For instance, a standard industrial 18.1" display will output about 300 Nits while an 18.1" Display integrated with our Transflective technology will output 900 to 1000 Nits when exposed to sunlight.

This is accomplished by the capturing the sunlight and reflecting it back through the screen. It is similar to placing a one-way mirror behind the screen that then reflects back whatever sunlight hits upon and passes through the display. In this manner, the brighter the sunlight becomes, the brighter the picture becomes. The unique optical properties of the polarizer doubles the amount of reflected brightness and increases the perceived contrast of the display.

This technology eliminates the need for additional backlighting through the utilization of reflective layers placed behind the glass LCD screen and in front of the backlights.


· Transflective technology uses the Sun's energy to brighten the screen in direct sunlight

· Consumes less power than conventional high bright displays

· Generates less heat than comparable high bright monitors.

· Provides longer product life expectancy as a result of less power and heat

 

Currently we support the following sizes:
15.0" | 18.1" | 20.1" | 21.3"
As well, a multitude of mechanical configurations are offered.

More sizes soon to come...
6.4" | 8.4" | 10.4" | 12.1"


We also support High Bright LCD Displays with added Backlight.
