KME - LCD Monitors for Marine, Military, Industrial And Transport Applications

Kent Modular Electronics (KME) design and manufacture industrial grade LCD-TFT monitors for the worldwide marine, military and industrial markets. Utilising their highly skilled workforce, KME provides marine approved standard displays and custom designs that are IP sealed for protection against the elements and strongly made to withstand shock and vibration.

The use of high quality components, robust and lightweight casing, anti-glare safety glass, transflective enhancements and touch screen capability makes KME's monitors ideal for demanding naval applications.

LCD MONITORS WITH ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

KME's LCD monitors provide a wide variety of solutions for all industries. Available in sizes from 3.5in, the different ranges include advanced deep dimming 2000:1, slow scan legacy signal (multiscan) versions which accept non-standard video signals, AC and DC power supply, enhanced vibration and shock resistance, video buffer (multi-drop) and RS232 remote control.

With many enhancement options to tailor the monitors to your needs, KME have successfully tried and tested our most recent 46in display at temperatures as low as -40°C confirming the potential of our monitors to encounter all extremes.

MARINE APPROVED MONITORS

KME have a range of monitors specifically designed to withstand the harsh maritime environment. Many are certified by an independent test house to meet the stringent demands of IEC 60945, the international standard for maritime navigation and radio communications equipment and systems.

The marine approved monitor ranges are sealed from IP65 upwards and within the range, KME also offers monitors suitable for ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display Information System).

Other marine certifications include IEC 60936-1 (radar), IEC 60945 (navigation) and IEC 61174 (ECDIS).

CUSTOM LCD MONITOR DESIGNS

With the standard ranges of LCD monitors, KME's dedicated team are able to custom design a display to suit your needs. Additional extras on these displays include:

• Touch-screen capability
• Sun visors
• KMEs trademarked Helioview and Heliobond technologies
• Legacy signal capability.

Increasingly popular, handheld devices enable the more mobile use of technology and KME can develop this for you.

TRANSFLECTIVE AND PROTECTED SUNLIGHT VIEWABLE DISPLAYS

The marine, military and naval industries are reliant on the best quality equipment to keep their crew and craft safe in demanding environmental conditions, so KME have developed Heliobond.

Utilising transflective technology to erradicate glare from the sun and enable near perfect daylight viewing, KME have provided a solution to protecting LCD screens from the elements without losing any of the viewing quality and reducing the power consumption to improve reliability.

Previous attempts to protect transflective LCD screens against outside elements have failed due to counteractive light reflections, but KME have developed a gel layer that bonds the protective glass to the transflective display, thus reducing reflection and enabling the optical technology to work to its potential. The optically bonded glass produces excellent quality by matching the refractive index between the glass and panel, which means that the screen is still effective but protected, ready to be tested in the outdoor elements.

MARINE LCD DISPLAYS

Manufactured in a wide variety of formats, including: head, chassis, desktop, handheld, panel mount and rack mounted displays, all of our monitors offer versatile mounting options for flexibility. The standard rack mounted displays are designed for 19in equipment racks and the head mounted displays are designed for arm or wall mount applications.

Built to meet your needs with touch-screen capability the monitors come in a choice of paint colours with non-glare safety glass as standard and 12VDC or 15VDC to 30VDC, or 110VAC or 230VAC, operation.

LCD FOR CRT REPLACEMENT MONITORS

Now that the majority of CRT monitors are no longer being manufactured, along with our standard LCD screens, KME now specialise in LCD for CRT replacement monitors. These are designed to fit into existing CRT chassis and are physically and mechanically compatible with the existing CRT monitors, handling slow scan (legacy) signals.
