RFD-251
The RFD series offers MIL-tailored
rugged flat panel displays with
superior ruggedization (front bonded
optical stack, LCD and backlight
heating). The displays are direct 19"
rack-mountable and can be remotely
controlled via a serial link.
RFD-251 S
The RFD-251 S is Barco’s Rugged Flat
Display specifically engineered for use
in naval vessel environments. The unit
meets the most demanding shock and
temperature standards. The RFD-251 S
has passed 901D qualification Grade A
(hard mounted) tests in consoles for
several naval programs.
RFD-251 A
The RFD-251 A is Barco’s Rugged Flat
Display specifically engineered for use
on board fixed and rotary wing
applications. The unit meets the most
demanding vibration, crash safety and
decompression standards.

Front bonding
Barco has developed unique bonding
capabilities to protect the LCD against
extreme environmental conditions
(temperature, shock, vibration,
humidity, EMI...) and to significantly
improve optical performance.
Automatic Phase Adjust (APA)
The APA function automatically locks
the LCD sampling clock to the
(drifting) graphics generator pixel
frequency, thus avoiding image
artifacts like pixel noise. Drift can be
caused by temperature changes,
electromagnetic interference and other
environmental factors.
LCD Flicker Compensation (patented)
When updating images with high contrast and high density (such as sonar or dense
tactical data) the LCD’s brightness varies with the rate of updating. This luminance
variation, referred to as ‘LCD Flicker’, can cause serious eye-fatigue and affect the
interpretation of the displayed data. Barco has integrated a unique set of algorithms
that reside in the hardware interface of the display (between the graphics generator
and the LCD). This feature compensates for LCD Flicker, without affecting the
displayed data, over all operating parameters.
