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.
Do not deflect the ECB out of its normal plane. The EL552.256-Q2 mounting tabs were designed for a 3 mm screw. The EL552.256-Q2 NE display does not have mounting tabs. Contact Planar Applications Engineering for information on mounting the EL552.256-Q2 NE display.
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.
is applied. The minimum and maximum specifications in Table 1 should be met, without exception, to ensure the long-term reliability of the display. The video inputs, shown in Table 2, pass from the video source to the display through the DC/DC converter.
Input current: max. Interface Information This Planar EL display incorporates an interface that is similar to many LCD interfaces. This interface is supported by a variety of off-the shelf chip sets which take care of all display control functionality, freeing the system processor for other tasks.

Environmental Specifications Temperature* Humidity Non-condensing Altitude Tested per IEC 68-2-13 Vibration (random) (Operating/non- operating) Mechanical Shock Operating/non-operating * The EL display will function at operating survival temperatures (-20 to +70 °C) for a 24-hour period and incur no damage, but may not meet some specifications above the +65°C operating limit.
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.
