Page 3: El480.240-Pr2 Display
The EL480.240-PR2 and EL480.240-PR3 thin film electroluminescent (EL) displays are low cost, high performance alternatives to industry- standard monochrome LCDs. The EL480.240-PR2/PR3 utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast and Brightness Enhancement (ICEBrite ) technology to achieve unparalleled image quality without the use of expensive filters. -
Page 4: Installation And Handling
Installation and Handling Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surface of the display. CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOS-FET devices. These components are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this assembly in a static-controlled area only. -
Page 5: Cable Length
Excessive cable lengths can pick up unwanted EMI. There are third party products which allow this maximum cable length to be exceeded. Contact Planar Application Engineering for more information. Cleaning As with any glass or coated surface, care should be taken to minimize scratching. -
Page 6: Specifications
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. Table 1. DC Input Voltage Requirements. -

Table 2. Video Input Requirements. Description Units Notes Absolute Input Voltage -0.3 5.0 V Range Video logic high voltage 100% All input thresholds are CMOS Video logic low voltage Video logic input current – µA Input capacitance – There is a fuse on the VH input to protect against catastrophic faults, and no overcurrent protection on the V L input. -
Page 8: Interface Information
Interface Information Planar EL Small Graphics Displays (SGD) incorporate 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. -

Many of the grayscales may flicker or swim. Careful testing is necessary to select appropriate grayscales for an application, especially when the electroluminescent displays are driven at less than their maximum frame rate. For additional information, refer to Planar Application Note 119 or contact Planar's Application Engineers. EL480.240-PR2/PR3 Users Manual... -
