Whether by special request or recognizing a need that hasn"t been satisfied, General Digital creates many uniquely innovative LCD monitors, smart displays and keyboards, among other highly specialized HMI products. By working closely with our customers, we can specially design a component to perfectly satisfy your requirements. Below is a sampling of the interesting display systems and keyboards we"ve produced in recent years.

General Digital designed a custom version of our Barracuda environmentally-sealed monitor to meet customer-supplied specifications for fit, form and function. The display system is used as a fire control system (digital sight) for a portable rocket grenade launcher in combat situations. Design of this complex solution required General Digital’s mechanical, electrical, optical and software engineering expertise and integration skill sets. Watch the video of the L40-2 Grenade Launcher in action on the Department of Defence Australia YouTube channel.

As an advanced avionic monitor, it is equipped with multiple optional specialized features, such as an optically bonded LCD with EMI mesh and heater, panel mount adaptor, military-grade connectors, On/Off toggle switch with finger guard, and more.

Designed to meet specific requirements and specifications for a flight simulator application, General Digital’s new 21.5" ruggedized LCD monitor boasts a 1920 x 1080 full high definition resolution, and a sunlight readable LED night vision goggle-compatible backlight. This second generation LED/NVIS backlight provides more brightness, better uniformity and less power than the original backlight, which was designed for maritime applications. Configurations include an LED/NVIS display head assembly (with optional backlight driver board), and a standalone/mountable ruggedized enclosure, as pictured here.

for each LCD including: touch panels, heaters, headers, bright backlights, and customer specified interfaces to name a few. Every LCD technology can be modified in one way

When a customer pays for the LCD tooling fee, they are not just paying for the option to buy a customized LCD display; they are investing in a LCD design of their own. It is their design and they control the rights to it.

The client receives a customized display that matches their exact requirements – everything from dimensions and functions down to the module colors, unique voltages, modified bezel, addition of headers or cables and any other desired components (resistors, potentiometers, heaters, etc.) to make this LCD unique.

One of the most important, yet overlooked, values that come with paying for the LCD tooling is longevity and peace of mind. Customized LCDs are much less likely to be discontinued or EOL (End Of Life) than a standard off-the-shelf LCD.

Custom displays tend to require a slightly higher MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) than standard LCD’s modules. This is because the product is only being sold to one customer and many of the components on the display will be unique to that customer.

A common solution to high MOQs is to place a blanket order with Focus LCDs. We can provide Kanban releases which means the customer will only receive and pay for the number of LCDs that they need every month or even every week.

The current lead time for prototype samples after paying for LCD tooling is between five to seven weeks. This will increase by three to four additional weeks during Chinese New Year. We are able to offer a short lead time and fast turnaround since all our displays are shipped via FedEx air and not on boat.

The first step is to review the LCD displays that we keep in stock from our standard LCD supply and can ship out the same day you need them. If you find that you need a unique LCD solution, we can quote you a tooling fee within one or two working days.

Focus Display Solutions, Inc. ( also known as Focus LCDs ) is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. This partner supplies standard LCD modules and custom built LCD modules. They are custom engineered to meet your needs. FOCUS designs and supports a wide range of LCDs and related products: TFT display modules, LCD heaters, OLED display modules, STN/TN/FSTN/VATN displays, LCD touch screens, custom electronic assemblies, user interface solutions, and custom LCD modules.

“I have seen and used many of the tankless water heaters and trutankless is the best one by far. I can run multiple showers or sinks, laundry, etc. with no problem. The customer service is outstanding as well. If you are looking for a great electric, tankless water heater then this is the one you have been looking for.”

“We have been using the trutankless water heater for several months and it has offered plenty of hot water. We appreciate the fact that it hangs on the wall and we could get rid of our bulky traditional tank!”

Every aspect of the light imaging system in Pro Display XDR is crucial to the overall quality of what you see onscreen. Each element builds on top of the last to create a display with unbelievable brightness and contrast.

Typical LCDs are edge-lit by a strip of white LEDs. The 2D backlighting system in Pro Display XDR is unlike any other. It uses a superbright array of 576 blue LEDs that allows for unmatched light control compared with white LEDs. Twelve controllers rapidly modulate each LED so that areas of the screen can be incredibly bright while other areas are incredibly dark. All of this produces an extraordinary contrast that’s the foundation for XDR.

For even greater control of light, each LED is treated with a reflective layer, a highly customized lens, and a geometrically optimized reflector that are all unique to Pro Display XDR. Through a pioneering design, light is reflected, mixed, and shaped between two layers to minimize blooming and provide uniform lighting.

Converting blue light to white is a difficult process that requires extremely precise color conversion. It’s why most display makers use white LEDs. Pro Display XDR accomplishes this conversion with an expertly designed color transformation sheet made of hundreds of layers that control the light spectrum passing through them.

Pro Display XDR extends exceptional image quality to the very edge. To ensure that LEDs along the sides of the display mix well with adjacent ones, a micro-lens array boosts light along the edges. This creates uniform color and brightness across the entire screen.

With a massive amount of processing power, the timing controller (TCON) chip utilizes an algorithm specifically created to analyze and reproduce images. It controls LEDs at over 10 times the refresh rate of the LCD itself, reducing latency and blooming. It’s capable of multiple refresh rates for amazingly smooth playback. Managing both the LED array and LCD pixels, the TCON precisely directs light and color to bring your work to life with stunning accuracy.

In response to customer demand, General Digital has engineered a multitude of NVIS-compatible LCD display solutions that feature OEM LCD displays and our custom-designed LED backlights (edge-lit and direct-lit), light optimization films and overlay enhancements. Our standard LCD display solutions range in size from 6.5 inch to 24.0 inch. New flat panel display sizes and resolutions, and subsequently, complete LCD monitor models, are being added regularly, or can be engineered upon customer request. Many of our NVIS-compatible solutions are also sunlight readable.

Our enhanced display solutions may be purchased “off the shelf” for integration into your own product designs, or you may opt to have General Digital technicians expertly integrate the display of your choice into almost any of our monitor and display kit products. In addition, we can design and integrate the NVIS-compatible displays into a custom solution to meet customer-supplied design and performance requirements.

Increasingly, LCD manufacturers are producing their LCDs with LED backlights, rather than with the traditional/legacy cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). Their decision is motivated by the many advantages that LED backlights provide, such as:

If LCD manufacturers are already manufacturing their LCD displays with LED backlights, you may wonder why General Digital produces its own value-add LED backlights. Most LCD manufacturers target large-volume markets for their LCD designs, where they can maximize their return on investment (ROI). Since competitive pressures from other suppliers exist in these markets, their products are designed to meet the bare essential requirements at a minimum cost in an attempt to achieve product acceptance and market competitiveness.

Traditionally, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of liquid crystal displays have underserved niche markets (e.g., military, avionics, marine, outdoor usage) that require very specialized display performance, such as extended operating temperatures, sunlight readability, night vision capability and long product life cycle. General Digital prides itself on solving industry problems and providing product solutions to these underserved and specialty markets. Customers find our LED backlights to be necessary to meet one or more of the following application requirements:

To convert a legacy LCD design (that meets a specific need) from a CCFL backlight to a comparable design using less power, with increased durability and efficiency.

To provide a more efficient LED backlight design than the OEM LED backlight that provides customer-required performance at lower power consumption/heat dissipation. This requirement is especially important for display solutions that are housed in fanless or fully sealed enclosures.

To make a display NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) compatible, General Digital expertly re-engineers the existing display hardware to virtually eliminate the emission of high levels of IR radiation. In some instances, we install entirely new backlighting systems, whether CCFL or LED. Both approaches are fully compliant with the military specification, MIL-STD-3009. By configuring an LCD monitor to be night vision compatible, an NVG user is easily able to view information on a display screen, as well as view their surroundings, while using night vision goggles.

There are many display performance attributes that must be considered when selecting a display to be used in high ambient lighting conditions or in direct sunlight, such as:

Often, users prequalify panels by how bright they are, employing the “if it is brighter, it must be better” mentality. While brightness may indeed be an important performance consideration for many applications, General Digital holds that the display’s contrast is even more important (discussed in an upcoming white paper, Contrasting Opinion; Brighter Isn"t Always Better). Ultimately, it is the user’s ability to discern a difference between colors (contrast) that enables them to properly view information under varying lighting conditions—from total darkness to direct sunlight.

OEMs provide the contrast performance of their LCDs in dark room conditions within their display specifications. While this information is an important indicator for consideration if the LCD is to be used indoors, it provides an inconclusive indication of how well the LCD will perform when exposed to high ambient lighting conditions (read our white paper, Not All Brightness is Created Equal). For this reason, General Digital quantifies the performance of our LED enhanced LCDs in our Optics Laboratory following the guidelines of MIL-STD-3009 (formerly MIL-L-85762-A).

Following these guidelines, General Digital provides our customers with a host of performance metrics, most notably its Weber Contrast, its contrast under 10,000 foot candles of direct light and a Display Class. These metrics allow customers to compare our performance to the military’s standard of approval for display usefulness in direct sunlight, as well as the type of information that can be read under these conditions, ranging from numeric-only to live video. This data also will allow customers to compare our products to competitive alternatives on a level playing field.

General Digital’s Optical Laboratory was created to provide quantification of the optical performance of an LCD under a variety of extreme ambient conditions along with raw intrinsic system characteristics. The data provided by the laboratory tests allows for numerical performance descriptions of each LCD display system. This enables the customer to compare displays across the entire General Digital display catalog and provides the ability to choose the correct product for the target environment while removing guesswork. To ensure accuracy and cross correlation, sunlight and NVIS measurements adhere to procedures and regulations outlined in MIL-L-85762A, and its successor, MIL-STD-3009. Other applicable measurements adhere to procedures and regulations outlined in “Video Electronics Standards Association Display Metrology Committee” (VESA) Flat Panel Display Measurement Standard Version 2.0 (June 1, 2001).

On the NVIS DISPLAYS: SPECIFICATIONS tab, we provide a table that summarizes our LED solutions (see sample below). Within the table, you will find a part number for each display configuration listed. As changes are made to a baseline configuration, General Digital will assign a new and unique part number to the resulting configuration. In addition to the part number, a variety of data is supplied for each display configuration.

Typically, General Digital attempts to standardize its measurements by applying an antireflective film to the surface of the LCD. However, it is not unusual for us to test the displays using a variety of other combinations of overlays (EMI filters, touch screens, vandal shields or films) that may be required to meet a specific application requirement.

Lastly, a link to a photometric report (see sample below) has been provided that will summarize and compare the optical performance of the OEM LCD before our enhancements and improvements, as well as after modification. Much of this data has been acquired under the guidelines of MIL-STD-3009 (formerly MIL-L-85762-A). In some instances, General Digital has also included optical data for other multiple test configurations of the same reference LCD.

The following is a standard list of carefully chosen measurements performed by General Digital’s Optical laboratory that provide all relevant information on dark/night, direct sunlight, ambient sunlight and night vision conditions. These measurements are found on all display and monitor photometric data sheets.

Measured in a dark room at optimal display brightness and contrast providing real world data. This data is provided for real world performance information.

Measured in a dark room at maximum display brightness and contrast, providing maximum brightness; however, display readability is reduced through loss of contrast. This metric is provided for inter-vendor comparisons.

Weber contrast (as defined by MIL-L-85762A) of the display under full diffuser and specular simulation. This simulates an outdoor bright sun condition (10,000 fc) with a secondary reflection of the sun (2,000 fL) off the monitor system.

Contrast ratio of the display under full diffuse and specular simulation sources. This simulates an outdoor bright sun condition (10,000 fc) with a secondary reflection of the sun (2,000 fL) off the monitor system.

Classification of the display usability, 0 being not sunlight readable with text, image or video, black and white or otherwise, and 6 being readable given full color motion video.

Each measurement is performed under a variety of LCD and backlighting drive schemes to provide a diverse and rich data set, allowing the customer the ability to choose the correct product for the target driving scheme, while removing guesswork. These drive conditions are found on all display and monitor photometric data sheets, as outlined below.

Driven with the OEM or General Digital LED backlights to produce brightness equal to the OEM display brightness. This provides data on power consumption improvements over OEM if equipped with our backlights.

Driven with General Digital LED backlights to determine the maximum output of the display with no active cooling. Many displays can be pushed beyond this threshold; however, active cooling or heat sinks may be required.

The metrics outlined above represent most common conditions; however, due to General Digital’s vast array of capabilities, experience and equipment, many more display measurements can be performed (see XXXX “Display Measurement Report”). Should further assistance be necessary, a Sales Engineer can be consulted for additional clarification.

General Digital also designs and integrates our own line of intelligent LED backlight controllers to provide command, control and status of our LED-equipped, NVIS-enhanced and NVIS/Sunlight Readable-enhanced displays and backlights. Again, these ruggedized products can be purchased from our stock or integrated by General Digital. Additionally, our software engineering staff can tailor our controller firmware to provide the precise performance necessary to meet a customer’s operational requirements. Typical requests include, but are not limited to, the following:

General Digital also designs and assembles standard and custom microelectronic assemblies in house (e.g., embedded display heaters, cooling fans, touch screens, bezel buttons and potentiometers, OSD controls) that may be included in the final configuration. Since these designs are under our control, it is a simple task for us to program or tailor their performance to meet a variety of needs. More information is available on our controller products page or by speaking with a Sales Engineer.
