The Crystal Screens transparent display system showcases dynamic or interactive information on a transparent surface glass. This
display allows users to view what is shown on a glass video screen while still being able to see through it. Designers can overlay text,
digital images, and video content onto physical objects or scenes that sit behind the glass.
TRULY SEE-THROUGH INSTALLATIONS
The Crystal Screens transparent display system comprises a self-emitting display that utilizes Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)
to eliminate the need for a backlight or enclosure, making it possible to create truly see-through installations. The design offers 45
percent light transmissivity, creating clear, unobstructed views of objects, scenes, or other digital screens behind the transparent
display.
BRILLIANT PICTURE QUALITY IN PORTRAIT FORMAT
The Crystal Screens transparent display offers vibrant colors greater than 100 percent
National Television System Committee (NTSC) performance as well as wide viewing angles with no off-axis contrast or brightness
limitations. The display provides Full HD resolution that allows for beautiful graphics and full-motion video.
COMPATIBILITY AND FEATURES
The Crystal Screens system features a powerful integrated PC for FHD video playback as well as demanding interactive applications.
It also comes with external player support featuring HDMI input and Touch output as well as optional USB Camera support and
is compatible with sources ranging from PCs and players to consumer video devices that rely on High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP V1.1) compliance.
Before using your Crystal Screens system, please read this manual
thoroughly to help protect against damage and to ensure personal safety.
For your safety, be sure to observe ALL the warnings detailed in this manual.
For installation or adjustment, please follow this manual‘s instructions and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• If water is spilled or objects are dropped inside the system, remove the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do
so may result in fire or electrical shock. Contact United Screens for inspection.
• If the system is dropped or the chassis is damaged, remove the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may
result in fire or electrical shock. Contact United Screens for inspection.
• If the power cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot, turn off the main power switch of the system. Make sure the power plug
has cooled down and remove the power plug from the outlet. If the system is still used in this condition, it may cause a fire or
an electrical shock. Contact United Screens for a replacement.
Caution: Installation location must be solid and stable. DO NOT place the system on uneven or non-loadbearing ground.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
01. Read these instructions.
02. Keep these instructions.
03. Heed all warnings.
04. Follow all instructions.
05. Do not use Crystal Screens systems outdoors or near water.
06. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat.
07. Protect the power cord(s) from foot traffic or kinks particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit
from any of the Crystal Screens systems.
08. You should only use replacement parts, accessories and other components specified by United Screens.
09. Unplug all Crystal Screens systems during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
10. You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing

11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when a Crystal Screens system has been damaged in any
your system.
way, such as when the AC power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into a product, the
products have been exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate normally or have been dropped.
In order to get the most from your Crystal Screens system, use the following recommended guidelines to optimize the display.
Crystal Screens display systems are designed for fixed installation, indoor use only.
Normal use definition: 12 hours per day at 25° C, moving image, 75 nits average luminance.
In use the Crystal Screens system should be operated in the open air to prevent heat buildup and without direct or indirect heat
sources such as nearby lighting fixtures or heating ducts that can cause the system to experience elevated temperatures.
If the system will be installed in a recessed area with a surround trim or other enclosing feature around the Crystal Screens Electronics
Box (system foot), ensure adequate openings are provided for proper air flow and ventilation.
At sea level, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the Crystal Screens system cannot exceed 35° C nor be below a
minimum ambient operating temperature of 0° C (as measured within - 2 feet (0.6 m) of the Electronics Box). If one of these
conditions is exceeded, it is the duty of the installer to ensure that display placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided, and/
or additional ventilation is provided to keep the system within its nominal operating parameters.
For proper cooling, the Electronics Box should not be mounted closer than the spacing described in the „Requirements for All
Installations“ section on page 11 to any continuous surface. The FAN slots in the metal foot on both sides of the Crystal Screens
Electronics Box (system foot) must be kept clear of obstruction or any sort of cover.
The Crystal Screens system is made up of three subcomponents:
• Touch Display Chassis with IR Frame
• Stele struts
• Stele electronics Box/Foot with integrated playback PC
The Crystal Screens System is intended for floor-mounted installations in customer controlled environments. It is not intended for
unattended use in public areas like shopping malls or train stations.
The Touch Display chassis consists of a 3.2mm thick protection glass, a 55-inch diagonal TAMOLED (Transparent Active Matrix
Organic Light Emitting Diode) panel and an infra-red touch metal frame.The IR touch enables a maximum of 10 simultaneous touch
points.
The Touch Display Chassis is securely joined to the Stele, but should never be used as the main load-bearing element as a primary
handle or principal support during transport.
The Stele foot incorporates four M8 mounting points on its underside. Levelling feet are pre-installed in these mounting points in the
Crystal Screens. The feet should be removed if a fixed installation is required. The Stele struts and foot are the part of the system to
use as a primary handhold during transport and mounting.
There are four secondary M8 mounting points on the underside of the Electronics Box for the two transportations plates, which must
be installed prior to transportation in the designated TOLED FlightCase.
CRYSTAL SCREEN
The bottom view of the Crystal Screens in the figure below illustrates the levelling feet and the transportation plates.
The backside of the Stele Foot also contains the rear panel / controlling I/0 for the display, the integrated PC and the connectors for
an external player. This is shown in the figure below.
The keypad is described in detail in the „OSD Keypad“ section on page 11. There are two HDMI connectors, one in the INTERNAL
PLAYER section on the left side of the rear panel and one in the EXTERNAL PLAYER section in the middle of the rear panel. The
internal player HDMI connector (1.) is an output and is intended for use of a secondary display – e.g. as a control or maintenance
display – but can also be used to connect a second Crystal Screens system to be run by only one CRYSTAL SCREENS integrated PC.
The External Player HDMI connector (2.) is an HDMI input (Rev 1.4a) to the T-OLED display. Right next to it are the Touch (3.) and
Camera (4.) USB-B outputs to connect the IR touch and the optional camera to an external player.
