The innovative G-Bond process is a unique optical bonding procedure that offers the highest performance of any display enhancement technique in the industry.
GDS Piezo Inverter has improved reliability, safety and EMI performance compared with existing wire wound component systems.
This is due to a reduced overall size and lower component count.
In addition, with the use of the Piezo Inverter each lamp in multiple lamp systems will operate independently in the event of a single or multiple lamp failure, enabling continued operation of the display.
By using GDS patented balanced output configuration, dimming ratios of > 500:1 are easily achievable, which is at least five times the dimming range of conventional inverter systems (50-100:1 or less).
GDS Piezo Inverter also has the following advantages: the control circuitry and the low voltage 12-24 vdc power supply can be remotely mounted allowing better thermal management of the display (e.g head rest displays); optical feedback provides uniform lamp output and can compensate for brightness variations caused by temperature changes in the display; and improved safety and easier integration due to the elimination of high voltage connections.
The new Piezo Inverter, which is the ideal low-cost, efficient and reliable solution for LCD manufacturers to use in multi-lamp back-light systems, is just now entering the market following a lengthy R and D program.
GDS is a world-leading manufacturer of industrial display solutions for a number of industries worldwide including transport, kiosk, banking, marine, process retail and leisure.
