White Papers
Display TechnologyAchieving Greater Legibility on Displays Utilizing Optical Bonding and Anti-Reflective Surface TreatmentsThis paper provides an understanding of how optical bonding with anti-reflective surface treatments
enhance TFTs for better readability in bright ambient viewing conditions. Reexamining the Potential of Infrared (IR) TouchscreensThis paper examines the choices that are available to the product designer and integrator, and provides
information to assist in the selection of the most appropriate touch technology option. Transflective DisplaysThis report will show that the contrast ratio (CR) for a transflective LCD is equal to or better than
a very bright transmissive mode LCD and has the additional benefits of reduced power consumption, heat,
and device volume. Transparent Electroluminescent (EL) Displays
The design and applications of transparent electroluminescent (EL) displays is discussed. In this
paper we explore new developments, where rear electrodes are replaced with transparent material to make
the whole panel totally transparent.

Application Notes
Interface Solutions for Planar's EL DisplaysThis Application Note describes the options and considerations for interfacing with Planar's entire family of
electroluminescent displays. Anti-Glare Film on Planar Electroluminescent Displays - AN135This Application Note describes the performance specifications and handling of anti-glare film used on Planar
electroluminescent displays for enhancing optical performance. Conformal Coating Planar Electroluminescent Displays - AN122This Application Note describes specifications to assist customers in the evaluation and use of conformally
coated Planar displays. Topics include coating description, handling, safety information, warranty, and ordering
information. EL8358HR conversion to the EL640.400-C3This document gives some directions if you are considering converting from the EL8358HR displays to the
EL640.400-C3 display. EL8358MS conversion to the EL640.400-C3This document gives some directions if you are considering converting from the EL8358MS displays to the
EL640.400-C3 display. EL512.256-H2/H3 FRB as a replacement for EL6648MS and EL6648MSSThis document gives some directions if you consider replacing any of the EL6648MS or EL6648MSS displays with
the EL512.256-H2/H3 FRB display. Generating Grayscales on ICEBrite VGA Displays - AN119Applications may benefit by using grayscales. Several video controllers have methods for generating grayscales
on monochrome displays, including the ICEBriteTM family. Although this Application Note addresses the Chips and
Technologies (C&T) 65530 and 65535 controllers, other video controller manufacturers also provide methods to
generate grayscales. Interfacing the EL320.240.36 with the SED133X Controllers - AN121Systems designers are faced with a wide variety of flat panel display technologies which in turn require the
selection of an appropriate interface solution from a wide range of options. Planar Electroluminescent (EL) Small
Graphics Displays (SGD) incorporate a simple, yet effective, interface that is similar to many LCD interfaces.
This interface is supported by a wide variety of off-the-shelf chipsets which will provide display control
functionality, thus freeing the system processor for other duties. This Application Note describes the basic
principals of interfacing the EL320.240.36 to the SED133X controller ICs made by SMOS Systems. Interfacing the Planar Systems EL640.480-AF, AG, and AM Displays - AN116Planar's new series of low cost ICEBrite�?� VGA format 6.4", 8.1" and 10.4" diagonal displays have been designed
to integrate efficiently into many applications. This Application Note was designed to help customers quickly
choose the best connectors, cables, system power supplies and display controllers for their application. In
addition, the last section is devoted to electrical interfacing and troubleshooting. Planar Display Comparisons: EL7768MS and EL640.480-A Series DisplaysA matrix comparing the EL7768MS and EL640.480-A Series Displays Solar Loading Effects on TFT LCD Displays Part IIntroduction to heat management and control methods Flat panel displays, exposed to ambient sunlight conditions
such as those in ATMs and point-of-sale terminals, which are installed outdoors or exposed to direct sunlight are
problematic. Several control methods can be used to minimize or dissipate unwanted solar and rive electronics
heating. These thermal control techniques combine active convection cooling along with front surface polarized
infrared reflector film protection Upgrading to the Planar Systems AF1, AG, and AM VGA EL Displays - AN118Planar's new ICEBriteTM displays have been designed to integrate quickly and efficiently into many existing and
planned LCD applications. These VGA format, 6.4", 8.1" and 10.4" diagonal displays have an electrical interface
modeled after the industry standard dual drive or dual scan (DS) liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which allows the
user a quick upgrade path from existing DS LCDs and a fast turn for completely new designs. This Application Note
was designed to help system designers through the basic steps of upgrading an existing DS LCD design to the
ICEBrite family.
