Affordable, sunlight readable displays with ‘Moth-eye’ Technology

With a definite shift in the use of displays in outdoor environments, manufacturers are looking for cost effective ways of ensuring the display on their product is easily readable - whatever the environment.
This is possible with a range of new, affordable displays from andersDX which have a 'moth-eye' surface treatment enabling the displays to be read at wide viewing angles in bright sunlight conditions.

A new and cost-effective 7” PCAP touchscreen display module that achieves excellent readability over a wide viewing angle even in high ambient light conditions has been launched by andersDX. The display is based on moth-eye film, which andersDX can also supply on displays up to 10.1”.

Excellent readability for outdoor applications

The moth eye film surface treatment applied to this 7” TFT display uses technology which mimics the micro-sized lenses in the eye of a moth. It reduces internal reflections between the display and PCAP touchscreen, giving much better readability especially in outdoor applications where sunlight and other factors contribute to creating a difficult environment. The film gives an improved visual appearance when in use and ensures that the display looks completely black when off.

Affordable Technology

Commenting, Paul Hooper, Display Group Manager at andersDX said, “More and more electronic displays are being used outdoors, to control instruments, to provide information and to deliver advertising. It is essential that these screens can be viewed clearly at all times of day, in any light condition. Moth-eye film is an affordable technology that greatly improves readability. We are amongst the first to offer this alternative to the industrial display market.”

Available up to 10.1”
Moth-eye film uses nanostructures to reduce reflections and limit the effect that ambient light has on the display. They achieve very low levels of reflectivity over the entire visible spectrum, enabling the display to be read easily from wider angles. andersDX can also offer moth-eye film toTFT modules of up to 10.1”.There is no tooling cost or minimum order quantity (MOQ) associated with the film.
