Temperature behavior on LCD Modules

The Display 1001 has a LCD module with an operational temperature range specified from –20° to +70° Celsius. This temperature range is correct and has been verified by RM.

Nearly every type of LCD module has special behavior in cold environments: As temperatures decrease, the speed at which the LCD fluid may change state gets slower and slower.
This is a normal effect, characteristic to the technology.

With our PC Software Tool, the Display Configurator, there is a special feature supported by the Display 1001 called “news ticker functionality” to create moving texts.
This function is working correctly over the complete temperature range, but because of the slow LCD fluid an operator may no longer read this moving text effectively in very cold environments.

Be aware of this behavior and use of this function only down to –3° Celsius.
