15" Marine Display

In maritime activities and naval forces, rapid, reliable and durable technology is mission critical. Winmate's Marine series products feature industrial-grade design and undergo rigorous testing, going beyond military standard compliance, to ensure safety and performance. The newly designed Marine Panel PC, Display and EAC Box delivers connectivity, and the ability to control and power multiple devices at once, while meeting marine equipment standards IEC 60945, DNV 2.4, and IACS-E10 (international standard for maritime navigation and radio communications equipment and systems). DNV classifies tests in four levels based on the product applied location in ships- A, B, C, and D. For harsh environment use, strict standard testing is required (Table 1.). Standards for certification contain principles, acceptance criteria and practical information related to the Society's consideration of objects, personnel, organizations, services and operations. A list of a Standards for Certification it is found in the latest edition of Pt.0 Ch.1 of the "Rules for Classification of Ships" and the "Rules for Classification of High Speed, Light Craft and Naval Surface Craft". Marine grade computers are becoming very important in marine application, including basic gauge reading displaying, automation control, and complex navigation. Although the requirements for different kinds of marine computing applications are very different, they all share one very important requirement: Reliability. As a result Winmate provides Panel PC products with latest Intel Platform and DNV Certification (Det Norske Veritas), the Norwegian foundation internationally certifying materials, components and systems relevant to safe operation on ships. 1.1 Technologies Hyper Dimming Technology with the User Friendly VR Knob The “Hyper Dimming” technology applies the new “PWM” method that can expand the dimming range beyond the previous “Analog” methods. The traditional methods for dimming an LED are either to adjust the lamp current, or regulate the average current that feeds the LED inverter. These dimming methods are referred to as “Analog Dimming”. This technology provides the highest efficiency circuits, but either limit dimming range or violate LED specifications to achieve wide dimming ratios. With “Pulse Width Modulation” (PWM) this technology is a new solution to handle these issues; hence expanding the dimming range. We simply pulse the backlight at the full rated lamp current, and modulate intensity by varying the percent of time that the lamp is operating with the full rated current. PWM dimming can significantly extend dimming range capabilities. PWM control of multiple LEDs eliminates the typical problem of one LED extinguishing prior to others at low intensities. LED layout and parasitics paths are no longer a limitation with the display dimming capabilities. With the user-friendly VR knob, users have true dim-to-black which allows for night vision operation. Combining the high quality TFT LCD panel with a smoothly dimmable backlight offers a crisp and excellent contrast images. Sunlight Readable The anti-reflective coatings on the protection glass have excellent performance in tough ambient light conditions. With the normal glass, offers the strong reflection of the ambient light, it diminishes visibility and causes problems for viewer. Our special anti-reflective coated protection glass can increase the contrast by enhancing light transmission rates over 95% (light reflectance rate less than 5%) and can effectively diminish the mirror images. The multi-layer vapor deposition coating either on one side or two sides of the glass is designed to minimize reflectance and maximize transmittance. As far as sunlight viewability goes, there are numerous combinations of display and touch technologies with backlight intensities. For the transflective displays Winmate states a "net reflectance rate" of between 0.9% and 1.3%. As for the protective glass option Winmate states reflection to be less than 0.6%. Backlight intensity for the transflective displays is between 400 and 500 nits, whereas high brightness panels offer 800 to 1,000 nits. Note that actual sunlight readability is determined by a variety of factors, most importantly the overall effective contrast ratio. Design - Anti Corrosion Winmate's marine grade panels have anodized aluminum housings designed for panel mounting, with VESA mounting available. All connectors are in the back, facing down. The sturdy aluminum housing has anti-corrosion protection and carries an IP54 sealing rating, with certain front panel options rated at IP65. Standard operating temperature is 14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit, with a special wide-range option (-4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) available. The Marine panels and displays can handle significant vibration and shock, as well as operation in high humidity.
