Commercial display advantages of NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCDs
When provisioning interactive touchscreens for busy, commercial display applications, it’s important to keep in mind the demands of such uses. For that reason, you have to choose an HID screen... more/see it nowdesigned specifically for harsh use in public spaces, whether in malls, retail stores, airports, or hospitals, and ensure that the screen fits the viewing environment.
Black Box’s NEC®/3M® Touchscreen LCDs are a good choice for such busy venues. Featuring chemically strengthened glass substrate and an advanced design, they are durable enough to withstand heavy daily use, making them ideal for busy interactive wayfinding, retail PoS/PoP, and visitor information service applications—including signage that you expect to operate 24/7 (and don’t want to have to service in the middle of the night).
For one, the touchscreen LCDs boast reliable touch performance, so customers aren’t forced to repeatedly press the glass to advance to the next screen or get their desired content to display. Fitted with 3M® MicroTouch™ Dispersive Signal Technology (DST) overlays, the LCD bezels are unlike most traditional touchscreens that detect touch by interrupting acoustic waves, optical fields, or infrared beams above the surface of the screen; the DST panels detect touch by interpreting bending waves within the glass substrate. High-speed processors and complex algorithms are used to interpret the information and precisely calculate the location of a finger contact, resulting in a fast and accurate touch response.
In addition, the NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCDs’ performance isn’t affected by dust and other on-screen contaminants, or even static objects or hands resting on the screens. They’re also designed to operate even if the surface itself is damaged.
Plus, the LCDs themselves are designed for extended use. Available in standard and industrial-strength versions, the professional-grade NEC LCDs boast high brightness and contrast ratios for rendering of crisp images and text in venues with lots of ambient light.
A sealed panel design prevents contaminants like dust, grease, or steam from damaging the LCD panel. Round-The-Clock Scheduler technology enables advanced scheduling of display powering up/down, which can increase the life of the panel while reducing power consumption.
The P Series NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCD versions offer additional protection. They boast an industrial-strength design with additional thermal protection and internal temperature sensors with fan-based technology. What’s more, a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness based on the application’s lighting conditions, helping to reduce energy consumption.

Video...iCOMPEL™ How-To (Part 5): Creating schedules for digital signage.
This video shows how to create schedules for the iCOMPEL™ digital signage player. Schedules are used to determine when and how long layouts should play on your signage. The video... more/see it nowcovers how to get into the scheduling function from the main menu, and how to add, edit, and override a schedule. It also shows how to view items on a schedule and their scheduled playout (by time and day), and how to activate a schedule. collapse
DisplayPort cable.
DisplayPort is a digital video interface that was designed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in 2006 and has been produced since 2008. It competes directly with HDMI®. Unlike... more/see it nowHDMI, however, DisplayPort is an open standard with no royalties.
This digital interface is used primarily between a computer and a monitor or a high-definition television and is built into many computer chipsets produced today. It’s incredibly versatile, with the capability to deliver digital video, audio, bidirectional communications, and accessory power over a single connector.
DisplayPort v1.1 supports a maximum of 10.8 Gbps over a 2-meter cable; v1.2 supports up to 21.6 Gbps. DisplayPort v1.2 also enables you to daisychain up to four monitors with only a single output cable. It also offers the future promise of DisplayPort Hubs that would operate much like a USB hub.
The standard DisplayPort connector is very compact and features latches that don’t add to the connector’s size. Unlike HDMI, a DisplayPort connector is easily lockable with a pinch-down locking hood, so it can't be easily dislodged. However, a quick squeeze of the connector releases the latch.
DisplayPort supports cable lengths of up to 15 meters with maximum resolutions at cable lengths up to 3 meters. Bidirectional signaling enables DisplayPort to both send and receive data from an attached device.
With the proper adapters, DisplayPort cable can carry DVI and HDMI signals, although this doesn’t work the other way around—DVI and HDMI cable can’t carry DisplayPort. Because DisplayPort can provide power to attached devices, DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI adapters don’t need a separate power supply.
The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniatured version of the DisplayPort interface. It carries both digital and analog computer video and audio signals. Apple® introduced the Mini DisplayPort connector in 2008 and it is now on all new Mac® computers. It is also being used in newer PC notebooks. This small form factor connector fully supports the VESA DisplayPort protocol. It is particularly useful on systems where space is at a premium, such as laptops, or to support multiple connectors on reduced height add-in cards.
