Options
Anti-glare and conformal coating options are available on this display.
The anti-glare option adds an anti-glare film to the front of the display to
reduce specular reflections (see Application Note 135 for more information).
The conformal coating option adds a protective layer to the display for
applications in which the display may be subjected to high humidity, dust, or
salt mist (see Application Note 122 for more information).
Installation and Handling
The mechanical package consists of the display panel and electronic circuit
board bonded together, plus a protective cover carrying the display mounting
ears. The display is made of glass material and must be handled with care.
CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOSFET devices. These
components are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this
assembly in a static-controlled area only. When shipping, use packing
materials designed for protection of electrostatic-sensitive components.
Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the
surface of the display.
Mounting EL Displays
The EL640.480 AM displays were designed to facilitate the mounting of optical
treatments and touchscreens on the viewing side of the display. To this end,
the glass extends in front of the mounting bezel by approximately 0.5 mm
(0.02 in.). It is imperative that any mounting scheme apply uniform pressure at
all times across the glass. Pressure applied to the corners or edge of the glass is
likely to cause breakage.
Mounting should be done using the mounting ears only. Use either metric M3
screws torqued to 350 Ncm maximum, or unified #4 screws torqued to 4.7
in/lb maximum.
CAUTION: Properly mounted, this display can withstand high shock loads
and severe vibration in aggressive environments. However, the glass panel
used in this display will break when subjected to bending stresses, high
impact, or excessive loads.
To prevent injury in the event of glass breakage, a protective overlay should
be used on the viewer side of the display.
WARNING: These products generate voltages capable of causing personal
injury (high voltage up to 200 V
ac
). Do not touch the display electronics
during operation.
