To solve this outdoor problem, the PPC-V106T-SR uses transflective LCD technology that is designed to be readable in the sunlight and serves as the ideal solution for outdoor applications.
Also harsh environments require good protection of the screen to prevent damage and abrasion.
Advantech's PPC-V106T-SR is an industrial grade computer designed to be rugged and durable making it the perfect solution for mobile outdoor applications.
Transflective LCD Technology Conventional transmissive LCD use light that passes from a backlight towards the front to display an image.
Quality deteriorates when used outdoors due to glare, and appears washed out in direct sunlight.
Traditional methods of solving this problem include adding a backlight over 4 units, called backlight enhancement technology.
This, however, may cause over-heating problems and an increase in power consumption.
Advantech's PPC-V106T-SR embraces transflective LCD technology.
This method uses light from the original backlight and reflects ambient light back out to the LCD.
The PPC-V106T-SR will appear rich and vibrant in direct sunlight and there will be no overheating or power consumption issues.
