Flat Panel Monitor Is Sunlight-Readable

April 1, 1999

Communicating via fiber optic link with its host up to 20 km away, the Survivor-LightLink is a Class I, Division 1 and 2-compliant flat panel monitor designed for harsh environments and high-ambient conditions. The system's 15", 900-nit, XGA display and optional touch screen are housed in a durable NEMA 4/4X enclosure. A small transceiver/receiver unit, mounted at the host computer, transmits and receives all signals, including video, RS-232, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, over a single pair of eye-safe fiber optic cables at 1.5 Gbps. The system is at home in the outdoors, in dirty and hazardous industrial plants, and in those environments which require electrically quiet systems. Measuring 18.3" x 13.5" x 4.2", the monitor features a sunlight-readable 900-nits luminance.
