How Does the Display Handle Temperature and Humidity?
Beyond sunlight, temperature and humidity are the next biggest factors to control for in the design of an outdoor LCD display. Here’s why:
- Displays have to regulate internal temperature to produce a bright picture. If a display cannot keep cool on hot days, or keep warm in cold conditions, brightness will drop-off.
- How exactly do you cool the display? A/C systems drip condensation inside and outside the display, require maintenance, and consume significant energy. How do you heat the display in freezing conditions?
- The display must be sealed to prevent condensation inside the cover glass and protect internal electronics from getting wet. This means the display needs to work in rain, sleet, snow, and hot, humid summertime. Putting an LCD screen inside an environmentally sealed box is almost always a poor solution.
- On-board electronics have to be rated to for the internal operating temperature of the display. This means high-quality components are a must.
