Large interactive passenger information displays

Travellers at airports, railway stations and other transit hubs now have easy access to a wealth of up-to-the-minute information at their fingertips.

Both totem and wall-mounted units are 43” in size and are required to work indoors and outdoors, in often unattended locations. To meet this requirement, the TFT LCD displays supplied feature a wide operating temperature with low power consumption while offering high brightness.

The touch sensors are made from printed6mm thermally tempered glass with a laminated rear hard-coated polyester film, delivering optimum impact resistance and anti-spalling in the event of breakage. The glass selected has an antiglare etched finish for better image display visibility in direct sunlight and the touchscreens also incorporate UV blocking and IR reducing filters to help protect the underlying LCD from sunlight damage and assist the overall system thermal management.

The totem and wall-mounted touchscreen units provide an unsurpassed interactive user experience irrespective of the environment and remain unaffected by rain, dirt, scratches, or extreme temperatures and work even when the user is wearing gloves.

Creating a passenger information terminal that is accessible to all members of the public was key.
