We have a large assortment of products designed and built for virtually any application.

Our family of custom products continues to grow each year.

We specialize in small production lot sizes.

We are recognized as the industry leader in designing innovative flat panel solutions.

Extensive experience in designing and manufacturing to:

◊ MIL-STD-901D: High Shock & Vibration (Safety)

◊ MIL-STD-167: High Vibration (Safety)

◊ MIL-STD-810F: Shock and Vibration COTS

◊ MIL-STD-741: Audible Noise

◊ MIL-STD-461: EMI/RFI Emissions


Brightness Enhancements

◊ Passive film management in older design panels

◊ Active backlight enhancement as needed

◊ Transflective modification of selected LCDs

Optical Bonding to LCD

◊ AR/AG glass to improve readability

◊ Touch panels to eliminate stray internal reflections

◊ EMI/Heater conductive glass

Film Lamination to LCD

◊ AR films as lower weight alternative


Active with LED Backlights

◊ OEM

◊ General Digital-designed

Active with Multi-lamp Backlights

◊ OEM

◊ General Digital-designed

Passive Via Film Management

◊ Lowest power solution

◊ Especially effective with older design LCDs

Low-power Active (Hybrid)

◊ Replace single lamp rail with dual or triple lamp rail

◊ Film management as required


GenFlective™ Modifications

◊ Conversion of selected LCDs from stock transmissive mode operation to transflective

Have Genflective™-enhanced LCDs from 5.5" to 15"

◊ Provides high contrast/high brightness in outdoor applications

Superior to contrast enhancement filter glass

◊ Low power, low heat approach to daylight readable displays

◊ Low cost of ownership

Long lamp life

Low power

Low heat dissipation

Low initial cost


Why Bond Anyway?

◊ Optical coupling minimizes light reflections

Improved light output

Improved contrast

◊ Improves environmental capability

Heaters for operation at low temperature

Chemically strengthened glass for vandal resistance

Moisture cannot condense on inside

◊ LCD does not distort when touched


Bonded overlays

◊ ITO-based transparent heaters

◊ ITO-based EMI filters

◊ Touchscreens

◊ AR and/or AG treated glass overlays

◊ Heat mirrors

◊ Vandal Shields


Adhesives

◊ Silicone

Most versatile material

Can vary mix ratio to alter the hardness of the bond for differing environments

Can be readily reworked to recover from any contamination issues

◊ Epoxy

Hard bonding material for specific challenges
