NVIS Displays for Military Applications

Posted on: December 16, 2015

SONY DSCMilitary LCD displays need to have functionality and capability beyond what any ordinary display can offer. While many commercial displays now offer more functionality than ever before, a military-grade LCD display needs to be able to withstand use in harsh environments and be used with extreme precision. If a display is to be used for military applications, it must be tested rigorously and meet military standards and requirements.

The Hammer Display Series has been designed for use in military applications. The Hammer night vision (NVIS) displays have been engineered with the functionality and the features that a military display needs. Here are some of the features that the Hammer display has and which any good military-grade display should have. 

Daylight Readability

Military-grade displays need to be daylight-readable displays. A military display may need to be used in a wide range of lighting conditions, including daylight, ambient lighting, and poorly lit conditions. Regular commercial-grade displays may not be visible or may lose quality in certain lighting conditions. The Hammer NVIS series is a sunlight-readable display that retains high quality in any lighting condition. The Hammer display offers quality and precision no matter what the lighting conditions are. As well, high-bright or LCD displays with fully functional dimming capabilities can be used in dark or poorly lit conditions without losing quality. The Hammer NVIS display is fully dimmable with a range extending to complete black. 

NVIS Capability

It may go without saying that any military display needs to have NVIS compatibility. The Hammer display has a NVIS mode, allowing the display to be used in complete darkness. There are a wide range of military applications that require NVIS. With an NVIS mode, the Hammer display can be easily used in (but is not limited to) night-time conditions. 

Waterproof Temperature Resistance

Military grade displays require the ability to withstand use in a range of extreme environments. A military LCD display needs to be rugged and resistant to extremes of weather, temperature, and other environmental conditions (such as dust or dirt) that are likely to be encountered in many military applications. The Hammer LCD display has a waterproof design that allows it to be used in outdoor and naval applications. The display also features an operational temperature range from -20˚ Celsius to 60˚ Celsius, ensuring functionality through temperature extremes. 

Improved Design

Design is an important consideration with commercial-grade displays, but it should be considered for military-grade displays as well. More efficient design allows for more versatility in the use of the display. The Hammer display has the largest possible screen in the smallest possible casing, allowing for greater screen size than would otherwise be possible. Improved design allows for the more appropriate size of display to be used.

Nauticomp Inc Announces Updated Titan LED Display Line

Posted on: December 3, 2015

Nauticomp (www.Nauticomp.com), an established display manufacturer with worldwide brand recognition, is announcing an updated line of one of its premier LED displays.

The Titan Commercial Grade Display is a highly efficient LED display line with a focus on combining dependability with ease of use. And now the entire Titan line has been updated, with improvements made to design and the release of additional models.

“The Titan is one of our best displays for commercial users, and these new updates and improvements should make it an even more attractive solution for the commercial sector,” says Ryan Moore, President of Nauticomp Inc. “It’s our most cost-effective commercial display, combining the foremost in LED technology in an affordable package.”

The updated Titan displays are more lightweight and compact, with a smaller size of casing for each of the models. By reducing the casing size, the Titan puts more of an emphasis on the display screen.

“With the new casings, owners get the same size display and less of the packaging, so to speak,” Moore explains. “A lot of LED displays can be bulky and unwieldly, while the enhanced Titan will be a lot more versatile. A larger display can be fit within a smaller space and be mounted more easily. It’s ultimately a sleeker display.”

Not only has the Titan been improved, but additional sizes have been added to the lineup. It is now available in 17” and 27”-wide versions, along with the previously offered 10”, 15”, and 19” versions.

“When a display is needed for commercial or marine purposes, often it needs to be a specific size,” Moore adds. “With these new additions, buyers have a wider selection to choose from when looking for a model that fits their needs. The 27” version is our largest Titan yet.”

Nauticomp Inc premiered the new 27” wide model at the recent Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle, the largest commercial marine trade show on the West Coast. This new version got a great reaction, implying a need for a cost-effective, cutting-edge display at this size.

“These updates are just the newest in a long line of enhancements Nauticomp Inc has made to the product line,” Moore concludes. “We’ve become a leading manufacturer of rugged displays, and part of our success is because we’re continuously updating and enhancing our products to meet our clients’ needs. These surely will not be the last upgrades to the Titan line.”
