    Chapter 1 - Introduction Description The CPX2-173 is a military-grade high-performance 6U rack mount or panel mount LCD display offering 1920 x 1080 wide-screen high-definition resolution. The CPX2-173 is designed to meet Mil-Std 901D and MIL-STD- 810G and includes a solid milled aluminum front panel, lightweight 5052-H32 aluminum construction and locking stainless hardware throughout.

  • Page 8: Lcd Enhancements

    In order to not only ruggedize the LCD, but to also enhance the mechanical, optical and EMI properties of the finished unit, as an option, Chassis Plans optically bonds one 3mm anti-reflective or two layers of coated 1.1 mm soda-lime float glass to the front of the LCD panel. The first layer is coated with an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coating with a surface resistivity of <13.5 ohms/sq.
