Sunlight Readable Monitors

High Brightness Industrial Displays for Outdoor and In-Cab Use

Sunlight readable monitors put a 1,000 nit or brighter screen where daylight falls directly on the glass, so operators can read the display in open cabs, on decks, in yards and at outdoor kiosks. Available from 7 to 55 inches with PCAP, resistive or SAW touch and sealing from a front IP65 bezel to a fully sealed IP67 chassis, they stay legible where a standard industrial monitor washes out.

Options include optical bonding against reflections and internal fogging, brightness up to 2,000 nits, wide-temperature panels for cold yards and hot cabs, and open frame, panel mount and chassis builds, suited to vehicles, ports, agriculture, rail and outdoor self-service where glare, heat and condensation decide the specification.

Speak to a display specialist to match the brightness, touch and mounting to your site.

What to Specify in a Sunlight Readable Touch Screen

Our display specialists specify every sunlight readable monitor against the light on the glass, the temperature and the mounting. These are the choices that decide whether the screen stays readable at noon, and the ones we work through with you before recommending a range.

1,000 to 2,000 Nits

Match the brightness to the light on the glass: 1,000 nits for shaded and in-cab positions, 1,500 nits and above for direct sun.

Optical Bonding

Bonded glass removes the air gap, cutting internal reflections and condensation so contrast holds up outdoors.

Anti-Glare Surface

Anti-glare or anti-reflective treatments on the front glass cut reflections from the sky and surrounding lights.

Wide Temperature

Wide-temperature panels for cold yards and hot cabs, with most models rated from -10°C to 60°C or wider.

Sealing and Mounting

Front IP65 and IP66 bezels for panel mounting, fully sealed IP65 and IP67 chassis for units mounted in the open.

Sunlight Readable Display Innovation & Outdoor Visibility Insights
