Electroluminescent Display

Some of you may be wondering exactly how Electroluminescent Display Technology can be used for your application. It seems the folks at EF Johnson Technologies have come up with a pretty cool way to enhance their new mobile radio, Lightning™ Control Head, with a Planar EL display. By embedding the EL display in their radio, they have the brightest and clearest display on the market today.

EL displays are perfect for a number of applications, including military, vehicle dashboard and communication equipment. Over the past 25 years, Planar has made significant improvement to brightness and contrast, reduced power consumption and vibration resistance, making the electroluminescent displays ideal for challenging and demanding applications. And, EL technology is available in multi-color, glass and transparent display formats.

Process Controls for Display Manufacturing

Economic times are tough and good vendor process controls are more important now than ever when working on your display project. Additionally, when making changes to your display design, you want to be sure your vendor is able to adapt to those changes to meet your goals and deadlines, while maintaining control over costs. But, when searching for a vendor it can be tricky to know what processes a vendor should have in place.

Now, you can quickly learn about process controls that will make your vendor relationship experience a success. Simply take a look at Planar's latest Ebook, Process Controls for Display Manufacturing, which provides important steps on how Planar has structured its process controls to meet display manufacturing challenges.

The importance of working with key suppliers who implement Process Potential Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA) and Control plans is especially crucial for custom products. So, the next time you're looking for a vendor who can help with your custom display, remember the process control steps to consider when making your decision.
