A high brightness monitor, also referred to as a sunlight visible display or VHB (very high brightness) screen, is a PC screen designed to be effectively readable in extremely bright locations.
Sunlight readable screens typically provide at least 1,000 nits of brightness, versus the 200-300 nits brightness for a normal home computer monitor. Sunshine readable monitors can also be optically bonded, and this process includes a protective external glass, that fills the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel with an optical-grade resin to remove internal reflections and condensation. This enhances the external glass and improves image contrast.
What is considered a high brightness environment?
Sunlight readable computers and display screens are utilized in areas where direct and indirect (reflected) sunshine or high ambient light conditions are present. Brightness levels ranging from 700-1500 nits (this range depends upon the LCD panel being used) which offers the clarity and radiance your application might require, but without causing glare or unnecessary washout on the screen. This high luminance results from the use of LED backlights, the LCD panel being optical bonded to the front glass (referred to as a VBOND), and enhanced light transmission technology.
High brightness displays are normally utilized commercially in kiosks, vending systems, pipeline examination systems, outdoor digital signage and marketing, in sports stadiums, in military vehicles, on ships for navigation systems, on bus and train platforms, and much more.
High brightness meets sunlight
Nowadays, we are seeing more outdoor applications appearing in both industrial and commercial usage scenarios. The requirements for outdoor applications are quite different from basic screens used in the majority of consumer devices.
For example, when we utilize a mobile phone which is normally 350 nits outdoors, the screen might appear invisible under strong sunlight. The reason is because the light in the local environment is too strong (typically around 10,000 nits). This tends to trigger strong reflections that lower the readability of a touch screen display.
Outdoor applications also tend to suffer from extreme temperature fluctuations which can cause a mist to form inside the touch screen in-between the LCD and touch sensor layers of glass. This results in an unclear image that is distracting and makes the image difficult to read. To address this concern, a high brightness solution is required.
