EL320.240-FA3 Multi-Color QVGA Display
The EL320.240-FA3 thin film electroluminescent (EL) multi-color display is a
high-performance alternative to QVGA (320 x 240) LCDs and is the ideal
solution in demanding applications where superior visual performance,
extreme temperature range, and environmental ruggedness are critical.
The EL320.240-FA3 utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast Enhancement
technology combined with red and green filters patterned over Planar’s
industry-leading yellow phosphor to achieve unparalleled image quality in
hues of red, green and yellow. Three intensity levels in each of the red and
green sub-pixels generate sixteen distinct colors (nine chromatically different
colors, black, and two mid-levels of red, green, and yellow.)
The display consists of a solid state EL glass panel, depicted below, with
a124mm diagonal active area, and control electronics assembled into a
space-saving, rugged package for easy mounting.
