Description

Figure 1. Display Illustration

The Display is a VGA compatible color display unit that can be driven directly from the standard analog
Video Graphics Array (VGA) output on a personal computer (PC). It consists of a 8.4" viewable diagonal
LCD Panel with optical elements, Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL), Inverter Board, and LCD
Controller Board . Cooling fans provide temperature stabilization within the Display's operating
environment . Two (2) chassis mounted connectors at the rear provide for video signal and DC power
input connection. These components will be mounted in a fully enclosed chassis.

Display Format

The Display must be compatible with IBM VGA 1 and VESA2 video standards. Its operating frequency
range is 31.5 KHz to 48.1 KHz horizontal; 60 Hz to 72 Hz (non-interlaced) vertical. Supported video
resolutions supported are as follows:
For IBM VGA1 modes, the Display will accept 640 dots horizontally; 400 or 480 lines vertically and 800
dots horizontal, 600 lines vertical for the VESA2 modes. VGA border(s) are excluded from the active
display area definitions listed in this document. Figure 11 defines the IBM VGA 1 and VESA2 video signal
timing requirements.
