EL320.240.36 Quarter-VGA Display The EL320.240.36 thin film electroluminescent (EL) display is a high- performance alternative to industry-standard quarter-VGA LCDs. The EL320.240.36 utilizes Planar’s proprietary Integral Contrast and Brightness Enhancement (ICEBrite™) technology to achieve unparalleled image quality without the use of expensive filters. This small graphics display excels in a wide range of ambient lighting environments while effectively eliminating the blooming common to other high-bright displays. -
Page 5: Installation And Handling
Installation and Handling Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surface of the display. CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOS-FET devices. These components are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this assembly in a static-controlled area only. -
Page 6: Cable Length
Cable Length A maximum cable length of 600 mm (24 in.) is recommended. Longer cables may cause data transfer problems between the data transmitted and the display input connector. Excessive cable lengths can pick up unwanted EMI. There are third party products which allow this maximum cable length to be exceeded. -
Page 7: Specifications
Specifications Performance characteristics are guaranteed when measured at 25°C with rated input voltage unless otherwise specified. Control Basics The EL panel is a matrix structure with column and row electrodes arranged in an X-Y formation. Light is emitted when an AC voltage of sufficient amplitude is applied at a row-column intersection. -
Page 8: Connector
Connector The display uses the Samtec STMM-110-01-T-D or equivalent. The mating connector is in the Samtec TCSD family of cable strips. The proper connector, user-specified cable length and connector configuration is supplied as a single unit. Consult your Samtec representative (1-800-SAMTEC9) for the cable/connector options. -
Page 9: Dimming Connector J2
Dimming Connector J2 An analog dimming circuit is standard on the Industrial and Extended Temperature versions of this display. The J2 dimming connector is a Molex 2-pin, right angle locking male, part number 22-12-2024. The recommended mating connector is a Molex 22-01-3027 (housing) and 08-52-0123 (crimps, 2 per housing). -

Page 11: Self-Test Mode
Self-Test Mode The display incorporates a self-test mode composed of two patterns displayed for approximately 30 seconds each, and then repeated. The patterns are as follows: Full On 1 X 1 Checkerboard . The self-test mode is entered by leaving pin 3 unconnected or pulled high. Note: Pin 3 must be connected to Ground for normal display operation. -
