What’s in the Fabricator’s Guide This document is intended to give guidelines and help for installers and fabricators working with the Planar® LookThru™ Transparent OLED display. This document is not meant to replace the manual, nor will it provide specifics on how to work in each environment where a Planar LookThru Transparent OLED display might be installed.
Remote and Sensor You can control the Planar LookThru display with the included remote control through on On-Screen Display (OSD). To increase the range of the remote control, a 112-inch (2850mm) cable is also included. Quick Start Guide and USB Drive A printed guide with the basic information necessary to start and operate the Planar LookThru display is included, but the more detailed User Manual, Content Developer’s Guide and this Fabrication Guide are stored on the...

Below are examples of how the tiling hardware can be used to connect Planar LookThru displays. Sample installation using the tiling hardware. Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A...
Base Plates If the display will be mounted to a ceiling, wall or tabletop, the Baseplate provides a mounting platform. The Baseplate aligns with the mounting holes on the standard version of the Planar LookThru display (more about the version in the next section) and allows the mounting into the support structure to be independent of the mounting points on the Display Chassis and Electronics Box.
Front vs Rear Viewing Because each pixel is emitting its own light, the display can be viewed from the back as well as the front (the back side being where the Electronics Box is located). However, the light emitted toward the rear is much less than that on the front and any image viewed from behind will be reversed.
ESD safety device and/or connect the Planar LookThru display’s power cord to a grounded outlet before removing the protective film to prevent ESD damage to the electronic components. Do not bend or flex the Display Glass away from the Display Chassis. The glass is not designed to bear any weight or to be flexed at all.
Display Glass. Avoid touching or wiping the exposed edge of the Planar LookThru LO55 and LO55-S models (standard and standard Straight Mount) as the silicon bead that seals the edge of the glass may allow some silicon onto the Display Glass surface and mar the anti-reflective coating.
General Instructions Planar LookThru displays can be installed vertically or horizontally (in portrait or landscape orientation) with the Electronics Box facing up, down, left or right. When installing a Planar LookThru display, it must be supported by the mounting points in the Display Chassis (primary) and mounting points on the Electronics Box (secondary) and NOT by the Display Glass.
The Planar LookThru LO55 model with the Counterweight Plate attached weighs 73.5lbs (33.4kg) and the Planar LookThru LO55-T model weighs 90.5lbs (41.1kg). The Counterweight Plate for the Planar LookThru LO55 model weighs 13.6lbs (6.2kg). For the Planar LookThru LO55-T the weight is 21lbs (9.5kg). LO55 Standard Design Straight Mount models do not have Counterweight Plates and must be mounted to a sufficiently strong fixture or surface.

No load should be placed on the Display Glass. Without the Counterweight Plate the Planar LookThru LO55 weighs 59.9lbs (27.2kg), the Planar LookThru LO55-T weighs 69.5lbs (31.5kg). The Straight Mount Planar LookThru LO55-S weighs 63.5lbs (28.9kg), and the Planar LookThru LO55-S-T weighs 73.0lbs (33.2kg).
The optional tiling components are connectors that clip the corners of the Display Glass together to prevent movement. o Center Tiling Component for Flat Configuration (2x2): 935-0421-00 o Edge Tiling Component for Flat Configuration (2x1): 935-0422-00 o Center Tiling Component for Corner Configuration (2x2): 935-0423-00 o Edge Tiling Component for Corner Configuration (2x1): 935-0424-00 The clips do not provide any structural or load-bearing support.
For installations where the Planar LookThru display is not enclosed behind (e.g. using a Straight Mount LO55-S model), the display will be visible from both the front and the rear, but with reduced luminance from the rear and with all images reversed. Without any content on the Display Glass, the Planar LookThru display transmits 45% of the ambient light through it (45% transmissivity) meaning that looking...
As a fabricator, it is important to align the installation with the content to deliver the best possible experience. For example, a content developer wanted to highlight different objects behind the Display Glass in an exhibit-style installation, the installation would benefit from a low-light interior (i.e. behind the Display Glass) with adjustable spotlights.
