    EL glass panel and control electronics assembled into a space-saving, rugged package for easy mounting and a separate DC/DC converter with interconnecting cable. The EL552.256-Q2 display utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast Enhancement (ICE without the use of expensive filters. This small graphics display excels in a wide range of ambient lighting environments while effectively eliminating the blooming common to other high-bright displays.

    The display operation is based on the symmetric, line-at-a-time data addressing scheme. Performance characteristics are guaranteed when measured at 25 C with rated input voltage unless otherwise specified. Planar does not recommend operation of the display outside these specifications. Power-up Sequence This display requires simultaneous 12V and 5V input in addition to video signals for proper operation.

    Component Envelope The component envelope shown in Figure 5 illustrates the distance components extend behind the display. Tall components do not necessarily fill this area. Planar reserves the right to relocate components within the constraints of the component envelope without prior customer notification. For this reason, Planar advises users to design enclosure components to be outside the component envelope.
