EL552.256-Q2 Display
The EL552.256-Q2 thin film electroluminescent (EL) display is a high-
performance alternative to lower resolution LCDs and VFDs and is the
ideal solution in demanding applications where superior visual
performance and environmental ruggedness are critical. The display
consists of an EL glass panel and control electronics assembled into a
space-saving, rugged package for easy mounting and a separate DC/DC
converter with interconnecting cable.
The EL552.256-Q2 display utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast
Enhancement (ICE
TM
) technology to achieve unparalleled image quality
without the use of expensive filters. This small graphics display excels in
a wide range of ambient lighting environments while effectively
eliminating the blooming common to other high-bright displays.
The 4-bit LCD-type interface is TTL-compatible and is designed for
hardware compatibility with the SMOS 1353 or equivalent LCD
controller. Each of the 141,312 pixels has an aspect ratio of 1:1 and is
individually addressable to clearly display high information content
graphics and text.
