GDS Display Solutions (Rockford, IL) has added a 38-in. stretched version to its MIDAS range of outdoor LCD products. Designed to provide a fully integrated, digital-signage solution in such applications as public transportation, public information and leisure, the high-contrast display, enhanced by 1,000 cd/sq. meter LED backlighting, is readable in direct sunlight. An ambient light sensor continually samples the light and adjusts screen-brightness levels. Vandal-proof glass has been optically bonded to the LCD to alleviate back-of-glass reflection and condensation issues. Built-in sensors support an on-board diagnostics system that monitors the display. Gathered diagnostic data can be reported back through the system. When maintenance is required, an extendable front frame allows easy access.
