Monochrome Flat Panel Display
For Automobile applications
  E-LOOK

Last update: February2002

CFG's E-Look monitor is a monochrome, flat panel display and swivel stand intended for automobile applications such as navigation and telemetry and other similar applications. Available as a standard or OEM unit, E-LOOK has a wide range of functions and options for user friendly operation.

Designed with the requirements of the automobile industry in mind, builders of navigation, telemetry and other car communication systems will save costly development time and effort with this module.

Features include :

  • A rotating stand with a wide range of positions allowing the display to be oriented for optimum viewing.
  • Easy one-hand mounting or removal of the monitor from the stand.
  • User-selectable backlight color
  • Integrated microcontroller with temperature and light sensors to manage display contrast and brightness in an automatic and transparent manner thus ensuring optimum viewing at all times.
  • RS-232 or RS-485 (optional) buses available for communication with the central unit. Infra-red receptor for user communication functions.
  • Matching infra-red remote control unit (separate)
