Applications

Balancing “Visibility” and “Usability” Even in Harsh Outdoor Environments

Applications: EV Charger

Background and Challenge

With the growing adoption of EVs (electric vehicles), the installation of rapid chargers at highway service areas (SA), parking areas (PA), and public facilities is rapidly increasing. However, conventional display panels have faced issues such as degraded display quality due to weather and environmental changes, which have hindered user convenience.

Operational Instability Due to Environmental Changes

Reduced LCD response speed and display quality during extreme temperatures in summer and winter.

Deteriorated operability during rainy weather

Touch panel malfunctions when raindrops adhere to the screen.

Concerns about long-term supply

While infrastructure equipment is expected to operate for over 10 years, there is a risk of key components being discontinued (production ended).

Reasons for Selection

Wide operating temperature range

TFT supports -20℃ to 70℃, and VFD supports -40℃ to 85℃, specifications capable of withstanding Japan's severe seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Touch panel preventing malfunctions when wet

Designed for outdoor use in rainy conditions, featuring proprietary touch sensitivity adjustment technology enabling accurate operation even with water droplets on the panel surface or while wearing gloves.

Long-term stable supply system

Specialized for industrial equipment, ensuring reliable, ongoing procurement of identical specification products for future maintenance.
