As technologies evolve, so do the ways people use displays in the workplace.  Richardson Electronics is a leader in developing flat-panel display systems. We actively participate within growing markets to develop advanced solution applications using current and emerging technologies. Our in-house design and integration teams can customize any display with a wide range of options to meet your most critical requirements.

LCDs can be equipped to be seen under extreme lighting conditions, either outdoors or indoors. High-Bright/Sunlight Readable displays are ideally suited for retail kiosks, public information displays, digital signage, transportation, industrial, and medical applications.

Richardson Electronics integrates display monitors with privacy screens to prevent on-lookers from viewing sensitive information. When viewed from an angle, the on-screen image becomes blurred. Displays with privacy screens are commonly used in government agencies, financial trading and medical administration.

Richardson Electronics installs acrylic shields with a rubber gasket beneath the bezel to prevent damage to display screens. We also integrate displays with Protective Panels, so the display screen surface can be wiped down with cleaning fluids—a big advantage in medical applications.

Protective Panels can be integrated into displays used in a variety of applications, including:

• kiosks
• medical
• financial
• public information
• general IT use

Industrial monitors with ruggedized chassis are able to operate reliably in harsh environments where strong vibrations, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust could damage the monitor. Richardson Electronics equips display monitors with ruggedized chassis for use in a number of industrial processing applications, including regulating, protecting, diagnostic and remote monitoring.

Richardson Electronics offers four different types of touchscreen technologies as user interfaces:

Capacitive touchscreen displays utilize an all-glass sensor with a transparent, thin-film conductive coating fused to its surface. Capacitive touchscreens offer unmatched durability, reliability, and optical clarity for industrial equipment and public-access applications, such as

• gaming machines
• ATM installations
• information kiosks
• point-of-sale

Dispersive Signal Technology (DST) works on the premise of measuring the mechanical energy (vibrations) within a glass substrate that is created when someone touches the surface of the glass. Sensors, generally placed on the backside of the glass convert the vibrational energy into electrical signals.

Resistive technology consists of a conductively-coated polyester top-sheet and conductively-coated bottom glass layer. The opposing conductive coatings are separated by minute "spacer dots." When the pressure of the "touch" creates contact between the conductive topsheet and the conductive glass, the touchscreen’s controller pinpoints the position of the "touch."

Sound Acoustical Wave (SAWs) touchscreens utilize sound waves that are cast across the screen’s surface. When the sound waves are broken by a finger touch, the x and y coordinates are calculated and sent to the controller.
