LCD monitors drop into legacy CRT applications

Monitors meet marine display criteria
Two new colour LCD TFT monitors are designed for worldwide marine applications where low EMI and long-term vibration resilience are essential criteria
The 12in cathode ray tube (CRT) was once the most popular type of colour display on the market, and devices were used in a variety of industrial and military applications. Their nonavailability now poses serious problems for some sectors where equipment, such as machine tools, must be kept in service for several more years.
Now, KME has used its TFT LCD expertise to design a universal replacement 12.1in TFT chassis monitor to fit in place of the existing CRT chassis.
Flexibility is the keynote, not only in terms of the simplified mechanical design but also in the ability of the TFT monitor to handle low resolution (slow scan) legacy signals such as CGA, Hercules and EGA.
The simple metal chassis is designed to fit comfortably within the existing 12in CRT space envelope.
The base plate is drilled with holes and slots to pick up the original CRT chassis fixing positions.
The TFT can be fixed to a tilt position between 0 and 30 degrees.
As an eco-friendly design input the whole assembly packs flat after test and burn-in at KME, to save packing volume and shipping costs.
It is easily reassembled at its final destination.
This 12.1in UN Series monitor is the first in a family of LCD-for-CRT replacement chassis monitors that KME will export worldwide.
