Whether the images on a flat screen are formed by using plasma, LED (light emitting diode) or LCD (liquid crystal display); they are all going to be somewhat useless if we cannot see them clearly and easily. At the beginning of cathode ray tube TV sets, it was almost acceptable for everyone to have to sit more or less in front of the TV and draw the curtains during daylight or switch off lights at night – we had no choice back then. Today, such complications to our enjoyment of the picture would be totally unacceptable.
Any Sort Of Computerized, Digital Display
These days, our computers and related gadgets are part and parcel of our lifestyles but; like a TV program, we have to see what is going on before it can be of much use to us. There is no point in having a hand held screen if we cannot read what it is telling us.
Many of the early owners of laptop computers experienced frustration when they took their laptop out into the sunshine and all they could see on its screen was the reflection of their own face peering into it. Likewise, when your mobile phone beeped (to tell you that it had received a text message while you were walking down the street on a sunny day) and you had to rush under shaded cover before you could read it. Even trying to compose a great photo of a landscape on your digital camera was often impossible because you could not see what was on the display screen when the sun (correctly) was behind you.
Imagine the frustration of a business that has invested in a giant computerized screen to display advertising out in the street; and they then learn that passersby can only see the message after dark or on very cloudy days. It is clear that the message has to be clear no matter what time of day it is being displayed.
LCD Display Screens
Display screen technology can be quite complex and is constantly evolving but it is fair to say that a large percentage of today’s flat screens rely on the use of LCD’s. LCD’s do not emit light themselves; they work because of a separate light source known as backlighting (these days, the backlight will usually be from LED’s). These technological improvements have led to even very large screens having a Sunlight Readable LCD Display that can be clearly seen from almost any angle in front of them. Such screens are very suitable for outdoor digital signage displays.
