EL320.240.36-HB Quarter-VGA Display The EL320.240.36-HB thin film electroluminescent (EL) display is a high- performance alternative to quarter-VGA LCDs and is the ideal solution in demanding applications where superior visual performance and environmental ruggedness are critical. The EL320.240.36-HB utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast Enhancement (ICE™) technology to achieve unparalleled image quality without the use of expensive filters.
The EL320.240.36-HB mounting tabs were designed for a 3 mm screw. Mounting surfaces should be flat to within ±0.6 mm (±0.025"). Use all the mounting holes provided.
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.
There is no overcurrent protection on either the V or V inputs to protect against catastrophic faults. Planar recommends the use of a series fuse on the 12 volt supply(V ). A general guideline is to rate the fuse at 1.8 to 2 times the display maximum current rating.

LUMD Luminance D 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.
VS signal. Dimming There are two standard methods for dimming the EL320.240.36-HB display. Analog dimming using the J2 dimming connector described on page 7 of this manual allows for manual dimming from 100% to approximately 5% of the full brightness.

Planar reserves the right to relocate components within 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. Device designers will need to consider their specific system requirements to determine the spacing necessary to maintain the specified ambient temperature.
