TFT LCD for Field Exploration
Challenges on field exploration LCD
Field exploration is full of challenges and danger. It takes place at remote areas around different terrains. Geotechnical engineers investigate on rocks, formations, structures, minerals, rivers and landforms. Easy to use and reliable are must for field exploration equipment.
TFT LCD used in a field exploration equipment, is an outside facing component. It faces lots of challenges: impact, vibration, bright light and extreme temperature. The display has to be tough and working well in outdoor environments.
LCD for field exploration
TOPWAY 10 inches color LCD is designed for tough out-door environments. It has the following characteristic:
High resolution true color
The screen is a true color graphics display with 16 million colors. 1024x600 high resolution is comparable to small computer’s monitor. Which allows users to see exploration data more clearly and intuitively.
Standard yet flexible interfaces
TOPWAY TFT LCD module gives equipment designers more choices, accepting input voltage ranges from 11V to 26V. Standard HDMI interface has more obvious advantages in HD display, it ensures data transmitting to the screen quickly and correctly.
High precision capacitive touch screen
LMT101ENMFWD-ACD is equipped with multi-touch capacitive screen. Base on final application's requirements, TOPWAY engineers can work with customer to fine-tune touchscreen driver to optimal performance.
Reliable and easy to read LCD screen
Reliability of LCD screen is very important in outdoor working environment. Every piece of TOPWAY TFT LCD display passes the following tests before shipment: ESD, endurance, and thermal shock test. It can work stably within the range of -20℃~70℃.
Outdoor applications require LCD to be sunlight readable. Generally speaking, you can increase backlight brightness to compete with ambient light. However, it brings other problems. Power consumption increases, heat increases and backlight life span decreases are all unfriendly to battery-powered handheld devices.
What's the best way to make LCD Sunlight readable? TOPWAY gives an answer. With extensive experience in designing and manufacturing LCD module for outdoor use, our engineers reduce LCD reflected light with different methods, and suggest customers to use dark display background, etc., to improve screen's overall contrast. Thus, LMT101ENMFWD-ACD is easy to read under the Sun.
Application example of portable exploration equipment
TOPWAY's LCD display used in geologic exploration has been tested by market. Many clients embedded TFT screen in field exploration equipment. A European customer, for example, uses our 10.1 inch TFT LCD LMT101ENMFWD-ACD on a portable equipment.
The client uses large areas of black and gray background on screen, and installs black anti-shock cushions around the window. This not only protects LCD screen but also increases its overall contrast. Geotechnical engineers have a good response on the equipment. They like its portable size. Capacitive touch screen is easy to operate. And images are very clear.
With development of geotechnical research, exploration equipment needs better LCD screen. And we constantly upgrade and advance LCD products, fulfilling ever changing client's demand.
