Displays are in demand at the industrial environment. They are used in diverse areas and therefore have to meet very different requirements. For this reason, DMB Technics does not develop standard solutions, but customized displays and display systems – also for SMEs (SMEs = Small and Mid-size Enterprises).

The market for transflective displays has grown recently, especially in the e-mobility sector. The potential applications in this field require high readability in different light conditions, such as direct sunlight.

embedded world 2022: A look at the exhibition program of BRESSNER Technology. From June 21 - 23, 2022, the embedded world Exhibition & Conference will take place again for the first time after a two-year break. The exhibition, which takes place in Nuremberg, is one of the most important trade fairs for embedded hardware and showcases the latest trends and technologies in the industry.

The focus of DISPLAY VISIONS' small controls is on an integrated, high-quality display: brilliant colours, extremely bright and perfectly readable from all directions. The control behind it operates both inputs and outputs as well as a touch panel.

This requires IPC and communication functions, so new hardware and software are necessary. MASS has developed a solution for this environment based on the Raspberry Pi.

Since time immemorial, many display manufacturers have been advertising ever higher resolutions for their panels. Yet resolution is only one of many characteristics of a high-quality display. For some years now, displays can be produced with such a high resolution that this criterion has become secondary. A high pixel density also has disadvantages with regard to the brightness or contrast ratio of displays. DMB Technics explains the advantages of local dimming and how this solution becomes...
