EmiClare H
A EmiClare emi window with a heating circuit for defrosting and/or maintaining LCD's at 10-20'C for optimum screen response.
EmiClare®H windows are available in glass with VRD140 non glare or Anti-Reflective coating on the front surface. The ITO heater surface is located on the back surface or inside the laminate for environmental protection.
General
The screen response of many new liquid crystal displays is temperature dependent and if the operating environment for these displays falls below 10'C and in some cases below 20'C a significant change in response time occurs.
Optical filters Ltd have developed a laminated emi window which incorporates our proprietary EmiClare mesh technology with an ITO heater circuit. The result is a high light transmission emi/heated window with excellent broad band emi characteristics.
In addition to its basic function this window design offers outstanding mechanical and impact resistant properties which makes it suitable for use in a variety of "rugged" environments. The ITO heating surface can also be located within the laminate to protect it from environmental damage in harsh environments.
Extensive alpha site testing on a military application have qualified this window design as a defrost and heater unit able to maintain 20'C +/- 2'C at the LCD with an outside temperature of -50'C and over temperature gradients of 3'C/minute.
