Transreflective LCD monitors

Auto Date Sunday, November 1st, 2009

For LCD monitors that are meant to be used in bright sunlight or other areas with poor lighting conditions, you need a special type of screen using transreflective technology.

Transreflective monitors reflect a great amount of heat (and light) and prevent overheating. They are also helpful in industrial situations when monitors have to be read in bright sunlight but cannot be simply adjusted to face away from the sun. These screens reflect most of the sunlight the monitor is exposed to, and automatically increase or decrease the light emanating from the screen depending on how much light that shines on it, thus reducing the need for manual light adjustment.
