Even high quality AMLCD displays are not immune to the effects of sunlight. Until now, enhancement technologies have permitted sunlight to reach internal display elements, which can reflect to cause washout. In comparison, other technologies can reduce internally reflected sunlight, but don't prevent washout due to the internally scattered sunlight. Using patented DEFENSCREEN technology, sunlight passing through a window is filtered by the display surface, before reaching internal display elements. Thus, reflection of this sunlight from internal elements is reduced. This fills a feature gap of other enhancement technologies. The system also functions in the opposite direction, further enhancing information security in defense vehicle applications, or while ships are at port. DEFENSCREEN technology compatibility may be added to displays and select touch screens by manufacturers or enhancement integrators using add-on laminates. It may be added to windows by glazing manufacturers or enhancement integrators. ▪ Sunlight Readability Enhancement Sunlight Readability: The below image illustrates sunlight readability enhancement in an automotive example. This is evident when sunlight is cast on a DEFENSCREEN compatible display through a DEFENSCREEN compatible window area. The display surface filters the sunlight selectively using patented elliptical polarization techniques to achieve alignment flexibility and maintain compatibility with common polarized eyewear. This fills feature gaps of other enhancement technologies by filtering sunlight before it reaches internal display elements that can reflect to cause washout. Such enhancement can benefit office, bank displays, automotive displays, naval, avionics displays and others. Without DEFENSCREEN Technology With DEFENSCREEN Technology Left half of window includes only a common 50% tint. Right half of window includes DEFENSCREEN compatibility.
