At present there are two main ways of making your LCD monitor visible in bright sunshine and we have listed these below.

High Brightness

This is a traditional method of increasing the back light illumination of the LCD Panel. By using an LED array. That is capable of delivering up to, 10 times the brightness. Of a traditional LCD monitor. So between 1000 and 2500 cd/m2.

At this brightness range whilst you cannot completely combat the effects of direct sunlight. The performance of the using High Brightness technology will stand out. Whereas traditional LCD monitors will wash out, and the image virtually invisible to see.

Transflective Film

Another very successful way of ensuring image clarity in direct sunlight. Is to use a “Transflective LCD Panel”. Within your LCD Monitor or display design. The key thing about this technology is that it uses, a reflective layer in the LCD panel construction . This reflects the sunlight through the LCD panel. Making the image appear to be very crisp and clear.

This technology is a passive low power approach to the issue of viewing LCD Monitors in direct sunlight. And as such lends itself to display equipment, that needs to be battery operated. Or in low power portable application.
