Read the ArticleWhen safety and reliability are key
Our marine and automotive display and embedded solutions are designed with the environment in mind. From sunlight readability to thermal management, here at Anders we know very well how tough the marine and automotive environment can be for electronic designs and we've gained a wealth of experience on solving these challenges.
How can I achieve a sunlight readable display system?
Optical Bonding
Bright sunlight on a display creates reflections, obscuring the contents of the screen even when viewed almost front on. Optical Bonding between the cover glass and the display improves the appearance and readability of the display by eliminating internal reflections.
Bespoke Backlight Design
We can increase the brightness of your display system to make sure it is easy to read in very bright conditions. Readability can also be improved by applying specific films including o-film, which typically gives you an additional 10 degrees of viewability in any direction.
How can I ensure a reliable display and embedded design?
IR and UV filters
Thermal management is a critical design factor for marine and automotive electronic devices as they get exposed to extremes of heat and cold. Fitting an IR filter overlay into your display design and using UV glues are always good measures to take, to reduce heating from the sun and prevent discolouration.
Learn MoreWaterproof touch
Marine display designs are often exposed to sea water or rain. This may affect the touchscreen performance generating false touches. We can help you ensure the touchscreen delivers the best performance for its intended application.
Learn MoreEMC compatibility
Immunity to high levels of EMI is a common challenge to overcome in Marine and Automotive designs due to the large number of electronic systems in a confined space. Components choice is crucial. Optimum selection of IC and firmware tuning regardless of display glass thickness, as well as EMI shielding can be carried out by our engineers to provide EMI immunity.
