Embedded solution is ideal for industrial use
Running on a NS Geode GX1-300MHz low power CPU, a Pentium MMX class multimedia embedded solution is ideal for demanding networking and industrial applications.
Ethernet operator interface for data acquisition
A C-programmable operator interface/HMI offers rugged I/O, built-in Ethernet connectivity, and optional A/D and touchscreen capabilities.
Transflective technology however accomplishes what standard Transmissive LCD's cannot under these conditions 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 it and passes through the display.
In this manner, the brighter the sunlight becomes, the brighter the picture becomes.

Compact board with low power consumption
The Intel Pentium M PCM-8200 compact board has been carefully designed for operating-efficiency with low power consumption.
The unique optical properties of the polarizer doubles the amount of reflected brightness and increases the perceived contrast of the display.
Transflective technology eliminates the need for additional expensive backlighting through the utilization of reflective layers placed behind the glass LCD screen and in front of the backlights.
Our Transflective LCD monitors are available in a number of packages including open frame, chassis, desktop and panel mount.
The range also supports VESA power management and plug and play as well VESA mounting on the rear for wall, arm or desktop mounting if required.
Furthermore, our Transflective monitors are also VGA and Video ready (S-Video/Composite) and are interfaced using a standard VGA port or video output (PAL/NTSC supported).
This reduces time and money when having to interface digitally.
We also support a range of touchscreens for our Transflective monitors which do not impair the properties of the displays and can be interfaced via serial RS-232 or USB and include drivers for Windows and Linux.
Protective glass options are also available should a touchscreen not be required.
TFT screen sizes range from 6.4" up to 19" and include widescreen and wide viewing range options.
Display brightness specifications range up to 600cd/m (1200cd/m) are available with excellent contrast ratios and resolution options from VGA up to SXGA.
The monitors are powered from 12VDC and come with a mains adapter and all relevant cables and drivers.
The product range is also CE and UL approved.
Pricing starts at just 399 GBP for our 15" XGA transflective open frame model (100 off) and the product range is available for immediate delivery from our stock.
