What is a Military Display? A military display is a specialized category of display technology purposefully designed and constructed for military applications. Serving as integral components within military systems, these displays offer visual interfaces to present crucial information to military personnel across diverse operational scenarios. Moreover, military displays are meticulously engineered to meet specific requirements and standards that distinguish them from consumer-grade displays. Their design prioritizes the ability to withstand the demanding conditions of military environments, ensuring steadfast performance in mission-critical situations. Key Features of Military Displays Ruggedization: Military displays undergo a robust ruggedization process, ensuring their resilience against extreme environmental factors such as temperature variations, shock, vibration, and humidity. Consequently, this meticulous treatment guarantees the durability and consistent functionality of these displays, even in the most challenging military environments. Sunlight Readability: Addressing the prevalent challenge of glare in outdoor settings, military displays are purposefully crafted for optimum sunlight readability. This critical feature, ensuring clear visibility, is of paramount importance for military personnel operating in the field under varying lighting conditions. Night Vision Compatibility: Recognizing the prevalence of military operations in low-light or nighttime scenarios, military displays incorporate technologies compatible with night vision devices. This strategic integration allows personnel to maintain visibility without compromising their ability to operate covertly during crucial missions. High-Resolution Graphics: Military displays are equipped with high-resolution graphics, providing the necessary support for detailed maps, images, and real-time video feeds. This heightened visual clarity not only enhances situational awareness but also facilitates more informed decision-making on the battlefield. Touchscreen and Gesture Controls: Standardizing user-friendly interfaces, military displays feature touchscreen and gesture controls. These intuitive interaction methods empower military personnel to swiftly and efficiently access critical information, thereby enhancing overall operational effectiveness. EMI Shielding: A crucial component in military displays, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding prevents disruptions caused by electronic interference. This shielding ensures the reliability of the display in the presence of other electronic equipment and potential threats, maintaining optimal performance in challenging electromagnetic environments. Compliance with Military Standards: Strict adherence to specific military standards, such as MIL-STD 810 for environmental testing and MIL-STD 461 for electromagnetic compatibility, is a hallmark of military displays. This commitment to compliance ensures that the displays meet the stringent requirements set by military authorities, guaranteeing their reliability and suitability for mission-critical applications. CHECK OUT OUR MILITARY DISPLAYS PAGE Ruggedized Displays Military operations often unfold in harsh environments where standard displays may not withstand extreme conditions. Ruggedized displays, designed to endure shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, have become indispensable in modern defense systems. These displays ensure that vital information is accessible even in the most challenging scenarios, contributing to mission success.

CDS Brings Highly Durable Touchscreen Solutions for Transportation and In-Vehicle Environments The Importance of reliable touchscreen solutions for transportation market The demand for reliable Touchscreen Solutions for Transportation, in operator and user control systems, cannot be overstated. This includes but is not limited to public transport systems, utility vehicles, airborne craft, and marine vessels. These touch technologies must exhibit unwavering performance across a wide range of operating environments and conditions and this is where CDS can assist you.  Interactive Touchscreen Solutions for Transportation As a distinguished global touch solution supplier, CDS specializes in the development and manufacturing of touch screens and controllers. Their extensive range of PCAP touchscreen solutions caters to diverse applications within the transport industry, including trains, buses, electric vehicles, construction plant, airborne systems, utility vehicles, and marine craft. Our range features a wide range of Touchscreen Solutions for Transportation. Application-Focused Design Operator displays in public transport systems often incorporate dual-screen redundancy designs to mitigate unexpected failure circumstances. Dual-screen operator displays can feature two touchscreens utilizing a single integrated cover glass. However, the electric fields generated between the two projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens can potentially interfere with each other. CDS has conducted internal tests and employed different signal frequencies to mitigate interference issues, ensuring the successful deployment of dual-screen applications. Critical Environmental Conditions Operating in various environments poses a myriad of challenges, encompassing temperature extremes, fluctuations, magnetic and electrical noise, mechanical shock and vibration, ultraviolet radiation, and the potential for fluid ingress. These factors present potential threats to the consistent and reliable operation of touchscreen solutions for transportation.  Immunity from Extreme Temperatures Graphical user interfaces with integrated touchscreens must maintain stability and reliability even under extreme temperatures and rapid temperature changes. Here at CDS,  we address this requirement by developing and supplying PCAP (projected capacitive) touch panels that adhere to the stringent automotive standard operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with a storage temperature range of -50°C to +90°C. To ensure resilience, temperature change is rigorously tested through operational thermal cycling of -40°C for 30 minutes followed by +85°C for 30 minutes, repeated for 100 cycles using our environmental chamber. UV Resistance is of Utmost Importance Transportation systems and infrastructure equipment frequently operate in outdoor environments, necessitating the ability to withstand prolonged exposure to high levels of ambient light and direct sunlight. Without proper protection, extended UV (ultraviolet) radiation can lead to yellowing, hazing, and material aging and degradation. CDS PCAP touchscreen solutions undergo rigorous testing to meet industry standards.  Ambient Light Cannot be Overlooked High ambient light environments can impact display image clarity and visibility due to light reflections. To address this issue, optional optical bonding is employed to eliminate internal air gaps, thereby reducing internal reflections and refraction effects. CDS also offers touch panels with a Low-Reflective (LR) or anti-glare design to enhance image legibility in bright light conditions. Ambient light sensors can also be included to help in these environments.  Click here for our full range of industrial monitors Conclusion CDS, a provider of display solutions and embedded systems, offers a wide range of CDS PCAP touch solutions and associated peripheral components which will not let you down in the field.
