Axnew High Brightness Sunlight Readable Monitors allow users to see clear and sharp video images on bright screens even in direct sunlight. Our high-brightness screens produce at least 1,000 nits of brightness. Some are as bright as 2,500 nits. This makes them brighter than standard LCD monitors. Specifically, consumer- or commercial-grade monitors typically only offer 150 to 300 nits of brightness. The bright display and sunlight-readable touchscreen ensure clear video images even in bright sunlight. The result is better performance and bold colors in other high ambient light conditions too. They are also available as displays or touch screen displays with optical bonding.
In outdoor or bright conditions, the brightness of the display must be increased to ensure a clear image. The number of nits emitted by an LCD display is the primary factor in determining the perceived brightness of the display. Display brightness around 200-350 nits works well indoors. Most LCD monitors and monitors fall within this range. However, 400-700 nits are required for use in daylight conditions. Most importantly, sunlight readable displays need at least 1,000 nits or more to be viewed in direct, bright sunlight. These high-brightness displays are available with 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3 aspect ratio screens. All Axnew sunlight readable displays and high brightness touchscreens are TAA compliant.
What is optical bonding?
Some monitors have a layer of glass over the LCD panel to prevent accidental or deliberate damage. However, glass can also create unwanted glare and reflections. Internal reflections in the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel further degrade image quality. To solve this problem, the monitors are optically bonded.
Optical bonding is the process of laminating a cover glass or touch screen panel to an LCD panel using optical grade resins. This completely fills the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel. It not only eliminates internal reflections but also increases contrast. This makes the screen appear brighter and clearer in bright light conditions. Optical bonding also eliminates internal moisture and condensation. Also, it will make the display more rugged. Finally, an anti-reflective coating is applied to the outside of the glass. Therefore, this will greatly reduce glare and surface reflections.
Sunlight readable monitors
For installations in indirect sunlight or reflected glare, our daylight viewable displays will likely suffice. These are also more cost-effective than sunlight-readable displays with 1,000 nits of brightness. The daylight viewable display features an LCD screen with a brightness of 400 nits to 700 nits. LCD panels also include optical bonding.
The daylight viewable touchscreen with optical bonding is also brighter than standard touchscreens. Therefore, they produce better image quality in bright conditions. While they are not as bright as sunlight-readable touchscreens, daylight-readable touchscreens do have the advantage of lower power consumption. This can be useful in portable or mobile applications.
