    EL160.120.39 Display The EL160.120.39 thin film electroluminescent (EL) display is a high visual performance small graphic display that excels in a wide range of ambient lighting environments. The EL160.120.39 utilizes Planar’s ™ proprietary Integral Contrast Enhancement (ICE ) technology to achieve unparalleled image quality without the use of filters or temperature compensation.

  • Page 5: Installation And Handling

    Failure to do so will impair the shock and vibration resistance of the final installation. The EL160.120.39 is a tab mounted display. Use appropriate length standoffs to assure that screws through the mounting tabs do not introduce bending stresses into the display. Do not deflect the circuit board out of its normal plane.

  • Page 6: Cleaning

    VH is applied. The minimum and maximum specifications in this manual should be met, without exception, to ensure the long-term reliability of the display. Planar does not recommend operation of the display outside these specifications.

  • Page 7: Data And Power Connector

    9. Data and Power Connector The EL160.120.39 uses the 20-pin, 2-mm locking connector, Samtec EHT-110-01-S-D. The mating connector is the Samtec TCSD family of cable strips. Compatibility with non-Samtec equivalents should be verified before use.

  • Page 8: Generating Grayscales

    Generating Grayscales The EL160.120.39 is a monochrome display but will display dithered grayscale when driven by a suitably-equipped video controller. See Application Note 119 for more information. Interface Information Planar EL Small Graphics Displays (SGD) incorporate an interface that is similar to many LCD modules.

  • Page 9: Self-Test Mode

    Full On and 1 x 1 Checkerboard. The self-test mode is entered at power on until two VS signals are detected or when pin 3 is pulled high. For normal operation the SELFTEST pin must be connected to GROUND. EL160.120.39 Operations Manual (020-0344-00A)

  • Page 10: Optical

    4.3:1 @ 10,000 lux ambient, max frame rate Dimming Analog dimming is available on the EL160.120.39 display by connecting a 50K(ohm) logarithmic external potentiometer to the dimming port. Alternatively an external voltage or current-mode D/A converter may be used to dim the display by sinking a 0-250 µA current at 4-0 voltages respectively from the control pin to ground.

  • Page 11: Environmental

    EN55022 B certification. The display is provided with a current-limiting circuit in the DC/DC converter to ensure safety in the case of a short circuit between a high voltage and +5 V circuitry. EL160.120.39 Operations Manual (020-0344-00A)

  • Page 12: Mechanical Characteristics

    Planar reserves the right to relocate components 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. An air gap is recommended to dissipate heat from display components. Device designers need to consider their specific system requirements to determine the necessary spacing.
