Flat panel display.

The newest addition to the line of BlackLite electroluminescent displays, Model LX-I-320x240.80, uses a patented optical-interference technology known as "Black Layer" to reduce reflection and improve contrast and clarity of characters and graphics at all ambients. It also minimizes washout when viewed in the sun. Tests reveal extremely low reflectance values. The 1/4 VGA display is available in configurations suitable for space, avionics, defense and other applications. The display includes a wide viewing angle of >160 degrees off any axis, wide operating temperature range and consistent viewing characteristics (0-55°C standard), and rugged construction to withstand shock and vibration.
