The humble monitor, computer display and television have gone through dramatic changes over the last decade or so. The former cathode ray tube (Crt) has all but been replaced by the flat panel gismo - such as the plasma or Lcd screen.
These modern displays are more versatile in their use and are no longer just found in Tv living rooms or as part of the office computer. Because of the expansion of the computer industry and the falling cost of modern technologies, these display screens are just as likely to be in a facility controlling some manufacturing process or mounted on a wall as a modern digital sign.
Lcd Flat Monitor
Placing a display gismo like an Lcd or plasma in such locations does pose problems, mainly the effects of the elements that exist on the shop-floor or outdoor environment.
Water, dust, grime, dirt, inordinate temperatures, not to mention impacts - are all elements that can disable a shop-floor monitor or outdoor digital signage display.
Keeping these devices free from moisture and dust, whilst restricting the potential damage caused by impacts, is the task that falls to the Lcd enclosure.
These display enclosures are used in a collection of environments. Outside, as digital signage enclosures, they safe from the weather and inordinate seasonal temperatures. While in indoor locations they enable Lcd monitors to be used in even the harshest or grimiest of facility floors.
Lcd enclosures have enabled monitors and displays to be taken from the home and office to be used throughout industry, while also helping to encourage the burgeoning outdoor digital signage industry which is a fast growing marketing medium.
