Introduction and Overview

This is a product specification that specifies form, fit, and function of the LC15.ANN.1000 15” monitor
and its options. The LC15 products are a family of high bright LCD monitors intended for use in a
variety of industrial and commercial applications. Some of these applications include automatic teller
machines (ATMs), fuel dispensing systems, ticketing and information kiosks, and intelligent vending
machines. The LC15 LCD panel has a particularily fast response time of 16ms and is consequently very
well suited for video applications.

The LC15.ANN.1000 is a 15.0” active matrix TFT LCD with a native resolution of XGA (1024 x 768).
It has a typical luminance of 1050 cd/m2 with a +12VDC input. The video interface is through a
standard 15 pin analog input with an integrated On-Screen Display (OSD). The sheet-metal external
housing is intended for industrial applications where the product is integrated into a larger host system.
Commercial applications would most likely require an additional external façade. This unit has standard
safety and regulatory certifications appropriate to industrial products. This product includes packaging
designed to withstand standard shipping conditions.

One option that is offered on the LC15 product is a cooling kit. The cooling kit is a self contained three­fan thermostatically controlled kit that attaches externaly to the standard monitor. It is comprised of a
rear assembly and a front air feature both installed by Planar. The rear housing accepts +12VDC input
and houses three fans and a thermostat. The front air feature effectively channels air across the front face
of the display. The cooling kit is effective for addressing applications involving challenging solar
loading or requiring effective thermal management.

Another option available is a power supply with US or EU cord options and a 1.8m (6ft) VGA cable.
The power supply is appropriately rated and tested for the LC15 displays. The power supply that is
ordered with the fan kit also includes appropriate cabling to power both the display and the cooling kit.

Reliability and Life

Monitor Reliability

Demonstrated MTTF testing in progress

Backlight Reliability and Life

CCF lamps; 40,000 hour rated life @ 25°C
CCF lamp life is defined as time to 50% of initial brightness
Backlight end-of-life for this LC15 product is defined as 475 nits center luminance at 25°C

Typical values indicated for luminance and uniformity are indicative of typical steady state values
measured at initial use at 25°C after warm-up to steady state. Actual luminance and uniformity values
are directly dependent on the environmental usage profile. Repeated cold temperature start-up can cause
accelerated aging of the backlight lamps resulting in reduced luminance and uniformity.

Extended High Temperatures and Solar Loading

Extended operation at the upper temperature extreme or in conjunction with extended direct solar
loading can cause permanent mura or localized pixel non-uniformity effects. Other side effects could
include latent image and flicker. These effects are not covered under Planar warranty. Please consult
Planar for further guidance on system design to effectively manage environments requiring extended
high temperatures or direct sun-loading. Cooling kit and CEG vandal glass options can effectively
address these issues.
