As a specialist in transparent Displays we are often asked whether T-LCDs can be used in ambient light, i.e. without a backlit showcase box which it does as you can see in the video attached. But clearly the image quality is not as crisp and bright without a backlight directly behind the display. For some clients this made it difficult to make a decision on the way forward so we made this specific video so you and any other viewers can see just how good it is in standard normal ambient light!
This just shows the quality of the transparent screen with direct sunlight rather than LED backlighting, still looking great but obviously offering a lower % of transparency than LED backlights would give. This is why we always encourage LED lighting when customers ask for our advice on lighting and how transparent displays work without lighting and in shop windows. Below is an example of how the panels look but obviously it is not sunny all year long in the UK, as in many other countries, unfortunately.

Sun Vision Display panels are100% reflective, meaning they have no backlight whatsoever. This makes them an excellent computer monitor solution for people looking to reduce blue light exposure or other common issues reported by people withcomputer-related vision syndromes. It also makes them an incredible solution for advertising in sunny places, where it can be difficult to view other display technologies - all without racking up hefty energy costs.
My monitor screen is completely black, even though it is powered onIs everything firmly plugged in? A loss of video signal will cause the monitor to go black and then turn off entirely. It is easy for cables to become loose and not firmly connected, especially if you are using a mobile system. Please check to make sure everything is securely plugged in.
Your monitor possibly has TRU-Vu’s Dim-To-Black feature which allows you to control the screen’s brightness and contrast by pressing the arrow keys in the menu. The reason it has gone completely black could be because the dim-to-black was turned all the way down. Press the arrow up to the right to raise the brightness again. If this does nothing, try pressing the left arrow keys.
Make sure the monitor’s picture size setting is set to the factory default, not zoom, fit or stretch. For optimal picture quality without distortion, black bars or squeezing, it is always best to match the aspect ratio of your video signal with the aspect ratio of the monitor.
How do I know if my monitor is really showing true 4K video?Make sure that that the signal you are sending is 4K resolution (3840x2160). You can test this by pressing the monitor’s Menu button. The monitor’s Menu screen will display the incoming video resolution and timing in the top-right corner of the screen.
My touch screen is not working.All touch panels must be connected to a computer via USB or RS232 cable. This allows the touch panel to communicate with the computer.
My touch screen is not registering correctlyAll non-HID compliant touch panels will need to be calibrated during the initial start-up and may need recalibrating at some other point in the future. This is accomplished via the touch panel software installed on your computer. For a detailed walk through, please contact us.
Prepare the screen by turning it off and wait until it is cool to the touch. Cleaning warm or hot screens makes it more difficult to clean and can even damage the screen.
It is always recommended to spray the microfiber cloth first, then clean the screen with the moistened cloth. Do NOT spray the monitor screen directly.
For heavier duty cleaning, create a solution of 80% alcohol mixed with 20% water and use the damp, not wet, cloth to clean the screen and panel surface.
I need to clean my monitor screen (with protective glass)We highly recommend WHOOSH Screen Cleaner. It is 100% natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. You can also use any standard glass cleaner.
Article today is about a way to revive some old units with faulty display backlight to former glory. It takes huge amount of man-hours and grey-beards to develop advanced and high performance test instruments. Also it is not trivial to maintain equipment in good health, especially for that extended lifespan over 25+ years. Reason is rather generic – many components from the past often not available on the market today. This means difficult and time consuming workarounds and repairs with modern equivalents if any of the obsoleted parts go bad.
In this article we will look at finding replacement for key component of user interface such as graphical LCD screen. Back in the 90’s vacuum fluorescent displays were the king of the market for high end instrumentation. We can name just few well known examples – HP 3458A, Fluke 5700A, Datron 1281 or even daily bench meter like HP 34401A. LCD tech still was quite new and developing then. Here we will be patching up not just any instrument, but the crown jewel of the resistance metrology field – Measurements International 6010B 9½-digit DCC bridge. 6010B is a predecessor from 1997 of today’s modern Model 6010D improved version.
Metrology lab targeted bridge system like 6010 in 99.9% of target usage cases is controlled remotely via control program over GPIB bus. But in rare case when operator needs to run quick check or verify good connections to resistance standards user can find onboard LCD handy. However, here is a weak point in such case if factory-made backlight got faulty due to age of some older instruments.
Older 6010 bridges using miniature incandescent light bulb for providing backlight. This backlight is quite fragile and with 25-year old obsoleted instrument like 6010B chances for dead lamp or near failing one are high. It would be hard or next to impossible to find exact to-spec replacement for original bulb today. But not all is lost and we can rectify the situation with new LED-backlit high contrast display instead.
This would give more user enjoyment out of older but still perfectly capable instruments. Keep in mind that LCD replacement procedure and steps in this guide are shown only as simple example on what can be done. It is not the only possible solution, but perhaps rather easy one.

MIL 6010B build is very modular and mechanically well designed. Front panel MIL 6010B can be detached from chassis by removing four screws on the sides. 6010 units have LCD, backlight and keypad are mounted on front panel metalwork.
This display does not have integrated backlight but has optional special option for electroluminescent backlight (-EO suffix). Measurements International didn’t go for electrically noisy high-voltage electroluminescent backlight. Instead they went for linear low voltage incandescent bulb in aluminum reflective/heatsink focused on very cool looking multi-fiber optical cable to spread light into LCD light diffuser.
Each strand on fiber cable is edged and polished to perfectly flat surface to have good light transmission from light source to backlight module in LCD.
Despite reasonably low power that lamp use it gets to blazing hot temperatures. Infrared camera thermograph with temperature markers are shown below. Hottest center element is actually glass infrared filter to prevent lamp heat reaching fragile fiber-optic cable. It is transparent to visible light allowing very warm yellowish backlight to operate. Temperatures of excess +195 °C were present close to lamp.
We spent some time trying different LEDs to act as a light source for backlight as lamp replacement. But brightness of used LED was either too low or light source required some non-standard chip-type LED that is quite difficult to position into perfect spot in reflector body to aim focused light on fiber input.
To match style of light-blue Measurements International instruments and latest 6010D negative white display used. We got few mechanically and most important, electrically compatible RA6963-based EastRising ERM24064DNS-1 LCDs. These modules available for inexpensive $28 USD and have very close dimensions to AND original LCD used by factory.
MIL 6010 use 20-conductor flat ribbon cable to interface with LCD. Pins 21 and 22 used for backlight power. These need to be connected to +5V power source by user.
First we need to provide power to white LED backlight. Power measurement on my display sample revealed current draw around +110 mADC at supplied +5.00 VDC.
This is in line with datasheet specification, but I feel like bit smaller backlight power might be actually better. Jumping ahead, 6010B with new display is brightest instrument in the lab at night now. :)
For backlight I’ve just jump-wired pin 21 to +5V positive terminal of input power tantalum capacitor CE1. And backlight cathode from pin 22 connected to negative terminal of the same capacitor. This supplied +5VDC across integrated LED backlight just fine.
Next modification is LCD contrast adjustment. Measurements International 6010B bridge does not allow user programmable LCD contrast change. We have to do it the hardware way. Contrast is controlled by bias from small negative supply and simple R3/R4 divider network. One way is to change values of R3 or R4 resistors on LCD PCB. Or alternative path, also recommended in interfacing document supplied with LCD is to connect multi-turn 10 kΩ trim potentiometer between negative supply (pin 20, marked orange on Image 12) and ground (marked blue on Image 12). Trim-pot was soldered directly to -15V and GND pads available at R3, R4 and all needed is good fixed contrast setting.
After modifications on LCD completed, install it into unit. Make sure to insulate exposed 4.2 VAC pin header and wire used for old lamp power. I didn’t remove original lamp assembly and holder, you can still see it on Image 12.
Such LCD replacement was easy and quick improvement of expensive and rare instrument. Hopefully this brings an example on how obsolete old parts can be replaced with modern technology, bringing second life to instruments we all love.
This article and many other resistance-related projects would not be possible without excellent instruments from Measurements International and their decades-proven top class calibration services to world-wide electrical metrology. Special thank you goes also to Igor, Tom and Todd for fruitful projects ideas, excellent support and friendship. You guys are great! :)
