EL: Electroluminescent Displays
Electroluminescent display (EL) technology is still unique and relevant for today’s embedded display solutions. The unique performance and visual characteristics of high-performance electroluminscent (EL) displays make it an ideal solution for the most challenging and demanding applications where other display technologies are simply inadequate. Equipment and system designers use electroluminescent displays to fulfill the growing demands from their customers for improved image quality, longer lifetime and higher reliability.
Over the last 25 years our engineers have made continual and dramatic improvements in the brightness of the luminescent films and the development of drive schemes to extend display life. They have significantly improved brightness and contrast, reduced power consumption, developed proprietary gray-scale algorithms, improved packaging to reduce size and enhanced shock and vibration resistance. We continue to innovate for the EL flat panel industry with a multi-color QVGA EL display, transparent EL and even electroluminescent glass that you can customize with your own electronics.
