Irvine, CA – American Industrial Systems Inc. (AIS) has introduced a line of high brightness and Transflective LCD Monitors, featuring passive transflective technology, which reflects and transmits light (transflective = transmissive + reflective). Under bright illumination such as direct sunlight exposure, the display acts as a reflective LCD with the contrast being constant with illuminance. High Brightness displays natively produce luminance, up to 1500 NITS for superior performance in outdoor and direct sunlight applications. Transflective technology utilizes ambient light as a power source, the active luminance requirement of the backlight is reduced and only required for dark & dim applications; in turn reducing power consumption, heat emissions, and increasing efficiency. Several display lines feature transflective and high brightness technologies including open frames, rugged marine series, waterproof series (full IP65), vehicle mount series, and tablet LCD’s. AIS' comprehensive sunlight readable LCD display line is designed for industrial and extreme environments, application such as outdoor digital signage kiosks, industrial machinery, vehicle and marine mounted instrumentation controls are ideal application for sunlight readable LCD displays.
