Options
The
The conformal coating option adds a protective layer to the display for applications in which the display may be subjected to high humidity, dust, or salt mist (see Application Note 122 for more information).
Installation and Handling
The mechanical package consists of the display panel and electronic circuit board bonded together, plus a protective cover carrying the display mounting ears. The display is made of glass material and must be handled with care.
CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOSFET devices. These components are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this assembly in a
Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surface of the display.
Mounting EL Displays
The EL640.480 AM displays were designed to facilitate the mounting of optical treatments and touchscreens on the viewing side of the display. To this end, the glass extends in front of the mounting bezel by approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 in.). It is imperative that any mounting scheme apply uniform pressure at all times across the glass. Pressure applied to the corners or edge of the glass is likely to cause breakage.
Mounting should be done using the mounting ears only. Use either metric M3 screws torqued to 350 Ncm maximum, or unified #4 screws torqued to 4.7 in/lb maximum.
CAUTION: Properly mounted, this display can withstand high shock loads and severe vibration in aggressive environments. However, the glass panel used in this display will break when subjected to bending stresses, high impact, or excessive loads.
To prevent injury in the event of glass breakage, a protective overlay should be used on the viewer side of the display.
WARNING: These products generate voltages capable of causing personal injury (high voltage up to 200 Vac ). Do not touch the display electronics during operation.
