Key Benefits
- Rugged — Planar EL displays are built for demanding conditions: cold, heat, wind, dust, vibration, sunlight — even g-forces. Operating temperature of the glass is -100° ~ +100° C
- Reliable — Our electroluminescent displays are field-proven to retain more than 90 percent of their original luminance after more than 100,000 hours of operation. Planar has produced well over one million EL displays for rugged military, medical and industrial products.
- Visibly Different — Our proprietary ICEBrite (Integral Contrast and Brightness Enhancement) technology offers unparalleled image quality in a wide range of challenging visual conditions. Our EL glass can be used to make transparent displays.
- Flexible — As a display material, you can develop the electronics to fit your exact needs. We even offer engineering design services to support your team in developing the electronics and interface solutions for your OEM product.
- Affordable — EL glass provides the lowest material cost without giving up the viewing performance and environmental characteristics of our EL modules.
