Start with the news release LCD displays designed for industrial environments from Vartech Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vartech has launched a range of LCD displays that are designed for industrial and process control environments requiring protection from the intrusion of dust and/or splashing water (at the bezel). ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Osram LEDs utilised in Dolby reference monitor from Osram Opto Semiconductors: "Osram Opto Semiconductors has revealed that its LEDs support high technical standards for Dolby's LED-backlit professional reference monitor, targeted at film and TV production and post-production.".
In July 2010, we covered the news from Sharp Microelectronics - take a look at LED-backlit display ideal for indoor/outdoor use which says: "Sharp Microelectronics has introduced a 12.1in LC-display to its portfolio of displays with LED backlighting for industrial applications such as measurement, testing or controlling equipment.".
Take a look also at the news release from Densitron Display Solutions, Densitron TFT displays for industrial devices, as well as Optrex TFT LCDs have white LED backlights from Optrex, and APC Displays offers Optrex 10.4in TFT panels from APC Displays.
