What does “Sunlight Readable” Mean?

Many digital signage companies claim to have digital signage solutions that can be clearly readable in direct sunlight, but what does “sunlight readability” actually mean. Firstly the brightness – or luminance – of a screen refers to the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area. To understand what level of brightness is needed in different situations it is worth exploring the luminance values of some domestic LCD panels when they are brand new. The LCD panels in most laptops and PC monitors are around 200-300cd/m², a contrast ratio of around 800:1 and a low viewing angle. This is because they are for indoor use and users are generally less than 1 meter away from the screen so it is suited to its purpose. For other digital signage displays, they must be slightly brighter as the user is further away from the screen, as well as having a larger viewing angle so more of the room can see the contents clearly. All domestic LCD panels fade relatively quickly, especially if used excessively. This lowers all of their values greatly affecting their functionality. The main factor to be affected over time is spatial uniformity; domestic LCD panels start getting darker in corner patches, lowering the overall brightness considerably. Consequently this affects the panels contrast ratio and after a few hundred hours of use is usually significantly less. For outdoor applications or displays in direct sunlight, such as in a shop window, the brightness of the display will need to be significantly higher compared to standard LCD.

Transparent Helps the Cutting-Edge Research into Cataracts

Our transparent displays have been integrated at the Glasgow Science Centre for their latest exhibit showing the latest and cutting-edge research into cataracts 🙂 The experience development team did an amazing job of combining the transparent LCD displays with educational content showcasing a custom model eyeball inside. The interactive exhibit will allow visitors to tap various parts of the model eye that they first unveil by ‘unzipping’ or swiping across the touchscreen. The software displays information about the parts of the eye and shows how light travels through the lens of the eye, with and without a cataract. The transparent LCD touch display has truly enhanced the exhibit, introducing a brand new and fresh experience for encouraging the audience to learn about cataracts by truly “seeing” the different sections of the eye. This “eye-catching” display was successfully installed by FifeX Ltd, please see more about the how they benefited from the transparent LCD technology when planning their clever content please click here. Why not see it yourself and plan a visit 🙂 https://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/ To take a look at our showcase range then please visit http://crystal-display.com/products/transparent-showcases/  Interested in what our customers have created with transparent displays?

More Custom Transparent Designs for you

Check it out 🙂 Another custom option has been created from CDS, a new way of front opening transparent LCD showcase displays. Our standard range of transparent LCD showcase displays have the doors opening from the back where the back door is removable with thumbs screws for the objects/products to be placed inside the showcase. This is the safest bet for retail applications as it leaves a low risk of damage and theft. However, for many applications, back-opening displays are not suitable or ideal and so we have to look at other means of meeting our customers requirements. We have offered in the past transparent showcases that have a front opening door like a fridge but this new version offers a more sleek and stylish front-opening design.
