VarTech enhances IP68 LCD displays
VarTech released the latest series of its Fully-Submersible, Sunlight Readable, Ultra-Rugged IP68 (NEMA 6P), All-Weather, All-Terrain LCD displays.

Significant advancements include:

The use of:
  • A Harsher Duty LCD Panel with VarTech’s Optically Bonded Protective Overlay
  • True High Brightness, Low-Power, high reliability Solid State LED Backlighting
  • VarTech’s proprietary Enhanced Light Transmission Technology (ELTT)
  • VarTech’s advanced VTLED driver technology
  • VarTech’s proprietary Harsh Environment Controller Board
  • A Harsh Duty Variable Power Supply 10 to 36 VDC
  • VarTech’s new Armor Touch ultra-rugged touch screen technology

    Improved characteristics such as:
  • Wider operational temperature capabilities (-45°C to +70°C)
  • Greatly improved Intrinsic (nighttime mode) Contrast Ratios
  • Greatly improved Extrinsic (direct sunlight mode) Contrast Ratios
  • A multitude of additional video input configurations
  • More mounting options
  • Greater shock and vibration protection
  • Higher native resolutions
  • Much deeper dimming ratios (in most instances more than 10000:1)
  • Much wider viewing angles

    VarTech offers IP68 All-Weather LCDs ranging in size from 8.4", 10.4", 12.1", to 15.0". All have native XGA resolution (1024 x 768) except for the 8.4" which is SVGA resolution (800 x 600) but is offered with optional native XGA resolution. Brightness levels range from 900 to 1400 nits of true luminance using VarTech’s cutting-edge LED backlighting technology and ELTT. This technology is far superior to other solutions which incorporate poor performing Transflective filters. As well, VarTech’s new LED technology increases operational temperature range capabilities, significantly lowers power draw when compared to that of traditional CCFL backlighting, superior shock and vibration protection, significantly improved advanced deep dimming to black, instantaneous warm-up, little or no EMI leakage, and a 200% average increase in MTBF operation. Coupled with VarTech's VBOND optical bonding and VarTech’s ELTT technology these displays achieve the best true sunlight readability throughout the rugged LCD marketplace today.

    VarTech's All-Weather series of LCD displays offers Armor Touch, a new ruggedized resistive touch screen technology, which delivers superior impact resistance, contamination resistance, image clarity, and very good light transmission levels. A video demonstration of the Armor Touch capabilities is available on VarTech’s website.

    This truly rugged harsh duty LCD series complies with MIL-STD-901D (shock), MIL-STD-167 (vibration), MIL-STD-810F (environmental), Marine IEC 60529 and Marine IEC 60945, and EMI/EMC: FCC Class B with optional MIL-STD-461F. The VarTech All-Weather series also offers NVIS (Full Night Vision) per MIL-STD-3009 Class B Gen 3 compliance.

    VarTech Systems is a worldwide leader of industrial and marine/military grade LCD flat panel display systems, sunlight readable LCDs, ruggedized computers, large screen digital signage LCD displays and rugged CRT monitors. Today, VarTech Systems products are used in virtually every industrial sector in a wide variety of applications. From the factory floor to the control room, from the ship's bridge to submarine sonar, from the cockpit to the simulator, from the harshest environments such as direct hose-down washing to vehicle mounting for the Border Patrol, VarTech products provide exceptional quality and reliability.
