Flexible display and panel PC family
Optimal overview of the situation thanks to versatile panel PC
The solutions from the VistaMaster family of displays and panel PCs support the user in data processing and video display at various installation locations in the vehicle. The device is scalable in size and its functions can be adapted to meet any customer requirement. This enables you to implement a wide range of applications, from simple displays to central control units.
Readable under extreme conditions
To handle this wide range of applications, the displays are designed to ensure high contrast and good readability in darkness, in mixed light situations and even in bright sunshine. KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics achieves this through optical bonding, which reduces reflections between the display and touchscreen and increases contrast.
Performance overview:
- Capacitive multi-touch or resistive single-touch
- Resolution up to full HD
- Sunlight-readable
- Integrated video signal processing
- Customisable interfaces and functionalities
- Touchscreen sensitivity can be adjusted to the type of glove
