Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A
1.0 Introduction
This document defines the electromechanical parameters and operating characteristics for a 12’1” Active
Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) based product, hereafter referred to as the Monitor. It is intended
for operation in high ambient light, outdoor environment. The Monitor has a scaleable video format
capable of displaying a minimum of VGA (640 x 480) through XGA (1024 x 768) input resolution.
The Monitor can be driven directl y from the standard analog Video Graphics Array (VGA) output on a
personal computer (PC). It consists of a 12.1" viewable diagonal LCD Panel with optical elements, ColdCathode Fluorescent Backlight, Backlight Inverter Board, and LCD Controller Board. Cooling fans provide
temperature stabilization within the Monitor’s operating environment. Two (2) chassis mounted
connectors at the rear provide for video signal and DC power input connections. These components will
be mounted in a fully enclosed chassis.
1.1 Display Format
The Monitor is compatible with IBM VGA1 and VESA2 video standards. Its operating frequency
range is 31.5 KHz ?56.5 KHz horizontal; 60 Hz ?72 Hz (non-interlaced) vertical. Specific video
resolutions supported are as follows:
Video Resolution Number of Bits/Color Number of Colors
640 x 400 6 262,144
640 x 480 6 262,144
720 x 400 6 262,144
800 x 600 6 262,144
1024 x 768 6 262,144
For IBM VGA1 modes, the Monitor will accept 640 pixels horizontally; 400 or 480 lines vertically
and 800 pixels or 1024 pixels horizontally, 600 lines or 768 lines vertically for the VESA2 modes.
Figure 9 defines the video signal timing requirements.
The LCD Controller B oard will automatically program itself, sensing incoming horizontal/vertical
frequencies and sync pulse polarities to completely “fill” the active display area of the Monitor
with the video resolution being presented. Section 4.4.1 (Video Mode Definition s) defines
parameters for video resolution detection by the LCD Controller Board.
Note: IBM VGA1 modes with border and the 720 x 400 video resolution are excluded from
completely filling the active display area horizontally. Only the first 640 pixels will be displayed.

2.0 Basic Construction
2.1 Weight
Monitor weight does not exceed 5 Kgs (11 lbs).
2.2 Mechanical Mounting Requirements
Per Planar Mechanical Outline drawing 074-0666-01
2.3 Monitor Electronics
Electronic components requiring heat sinks are installed independent of the Monitor enclosure.
That is, its sheet metal chassis is not used as a heat sink for any electronic component.
2.4 Cooling Fan
Cooling fans are installed to maintain appropriate internal operating temperatures when the
Monitor is subjected to its operating environment of Section 3. Forced air convection is used to
cool the LCD Panel (front and back).
2.5 Vandal Glass
The Monitor is designed to operate with a vandal glass 289 mm x212 mm x 10 mm in place. This
vandal glass in not provided with the Monitor.
2.6 Air Filtration
An air filter mesh is included to prevent ingress of insects and ensure continual flow of cooling air
within the Monitor. The air filter mesh is externally accessible for cleaning.
2.7 Connectors
There are two (2) connectors supplied as an integral part of the Monitor.
2.7.1 Video Signal Connector
2.7.2 DC Power Input Connector
The Monitor unit includes a chassis mounted 15-pin female mini D-Shell connector
(AMP 748390-5 or equivalent) with socket contacts at the rear of the Monitor. It is
shielded for electromagnetic interference (EMI) purposes. Refer to Section 4.1 for
electrical connections.
The DC power input connector is a chassis mounted 2-pin "MAT?N?LOK" style
connector (AMP 1-480699-0 or equivalent) with pin contacts at the rear of the
Monitor. Connections are insulated to insure no accidental contact.

Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A
2.8 LCD Controller Board
The LCD Controller Board incorporates components necessary to drive the LCD Panel (Section
6.7). Accepting VGA and VESA video standards (Section 1.2), these video signals are digitized and
processed for the LCD Panel. Due to the LCD Panel’s fixed video resolution (800 x 600), the LCD
Controller Board will perform independent horizontal and vertical zoom and shrink scaling of
specified video resolutions less than or greater than the LCD Panel’s video resolution to fully
accommodate the LCD Panel’s capability.
Magnification or reduction of specified video resolutions to match the native LCD Panel’s
resolution incorporates scaling algorithms minimizing aliasing and image distortion. The LCD
Controller Board includes the following characteristics:
• Per pixel scaleable filters providing text sharpening and graphics smoothing for improved
image quality.
• Color depth enhancement by performing spatial-temporal dithering reducing visual artifacts.
2.9 Grounding
Two (2) types of ground are provided: Chassis and Signal ground.
2.9.1 Chassis Ground
The chassis ground is a conductor that is grounded to the earth within user circuitry.
It is not used for current carrying purposes. It is used only for non-current carrying
purposes such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
2.9.2 Signal Ground
Signal ground is electrically connected to chassis ground via the LCD Panel.
However, there are no DC currents carried through this interconnect.
2.10 External And Internal Controls
A single external “Video Gain” control compensates for the white state (full white) video signal
level range specified in Section 4.2.1 in achieving sixty-four (64) shades of gray.
External horizontal and vertical image positioning control(s) are provided to accommodate for
the undefined delay between sync and video data edge referred to as Front Porch / Back Porch in
Figure 9.

Table 2. Video Signal Connector – Pin Number Assignments
The Video Signa l Connector that connects to the customer’s equipment is a female 15-pin
connector in a high density 9-pin D-Shell housing. Pin number assignments are defined in Table
2, and physical layout as seen by the interface cable from user logic is shown in Table 4.
Figure 4. Video Signal Connector Illustration
4.2 Signal Functions
4.2.1 Video Parameters
As seen by the source, input resistance is 75-ohm, ±10%; input capacitance at (150
MHZ) <10-pF.
Coaxial cable is provided for video signal line(s) to match impedances and fo r EMI
attenuation. The video input signal will have a range of 0-mv to 714-mv (maximum)
Title: Product Specification: LC12 High-Bright Monitor Page 9 of 24
Document Number: 023-0284-01 Revision: A
where 0-mv is minimum luminance. Rise and fall times for the input signal (10% 90%) will be ?5-ns (Figure 6).
When terminated with a 75-ohm termination, the dark sta te (black level) is defined
as a level between 0-mv and 10-mv. The white state (full white) is dependent on the
VGA controller driving the Monitor. Maximum levels may range from 550-mv to 714mv. Nominal 680-mv input voltage shall be defined as the default for supplier setup
requirements.
Displayed image intensity and colors will change linearly with the video analog
input. This is necessary to provide a uniform user color change on the screen in
response to a uniformly stepped analog input. The Monitor must be capable of
resolving a minimum color range of 262,144 displayable colors (6 bit resolution for
Red, Green and Blue). This interpolates to 64 shades of gray (or color) at the Red,
Green, and Blue analog video inputs. Accomplishing specified shades of gray
requires a “Video Gain” control adjustment (Section 15.0 ) of Red, Green, and Blue
analog input signals based on the maximum output level range previously specified.

Back Porch : The portion of a composite display signal which lies between the trailing edges of a
horizontal sync pulse and the corresponding blanking pulse.
Black Level: The display-signal level corresponding to a specified limit for black peaks.
Blanking: The process of decreasing (or inc reasing) the display-signal level so that no visible retrace will
appear on the display screen.
Blanking Level?? The level of a composite display signal which separates the range containing display
information from the range containing synchronizing information. Also called the pedestal level, or
blacker-than-black.
Brightness: A psycho-physiological attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to emit or
reflect more or less light. Its psycho-physical, photometric equivalence is luminance.
Candela -per-meter-squared [cd/m2]: The international unit of luminance (nits).

CIE: Abbreviation for the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, formerly referred to as the
International Commission on Illumination (ICI).
Chrominance: The colormetric difference (dominant wavelength and purity) between any color and a
reference "white" of equal luminance. In three-dimensional CIE color space, chrominance is a vector
which lies in a plane of constant luminance.
Chromaticity: The color quality of light which is defined by its dominant wavelength and purity (see
Chrominance).
Chromaticity Value: The scalar value of any one component of a three-component color (also called a
tristimulus value). The unit value of each component is the amount of that component added to the
other two components to produce a reference "white".
Color Data: The programmed values which determine the amplitudes of the signal which drive a color
display.
Color Saturation : A psycho-physiological measurement of the degree to which a color appears to be
free of white light.
Color Temperature: The temperature to which a black body must be heated to produce a color
matching that of the source.
Contrast : The ratio between the maximum and minimum luminance values of a display.
dB (Decibel): A measure of the ratio of two signals. The dB value is 20 x log10 of a voltage or current ratio
or 10 x log10 of a power ratio.
Foot-Candle [fC]: A unit of illumination equal to the illuminati on which occurs when uniformly
distributed luminous flux is impinging on an area at a rate of one lumen per square foot.

emitting or reflecting luminance flux at the rate of one lumen per square foot.
Front Porch : The portion of a composite display signal which lies between the leading edges of a
horizontal blanking pulse and the corresponding sync pulse.
Gray Scale : Variations in the luminance value of "white" light, from black to white. Shades of gray are
defined as gray-scale graduations that differ by the square root of 2.

by the "apparent" or projected area of the surface.
Image: A displayed view of one or more objects or parts of objects.
Lambert: A unit of luminance equal to the uniform luminance of a perfectly diffusing surface emitting or
reflecting light at the rate of one lumen per squ are centimeter.
Luminance: Luminous intensity reflected or emitted by a surface in a given direction per unit of apparent

Luminous Flux: The time rate of luminous energy flow, measured by its capacity to evoke a visual
sensation. It is expressed in lumens.
Luminous Intensity: The luminous flux radiated by a point source. It is expressed in candela.
LUX: The international unit of illumination. One LUX equals one lumen per square meter.
MTBCF: Mean Time Between Critical Failure
Photometer???Any optical device which uses a comparison technique to measure luminous intensity,
