Two different technologies allow a display to be read by sunlight:

The use of a transflective polarizer enables the display background to be brightened using sunlight (similar to a mirror). Transflective displays, i.e. readable by sunlight, can be found in the EA DOG series, in the EA DIP Displays and in the EA eDIP series (linked here)

For colour displays this technique is extremely expensive. Therefore, an extremely bright backlight is constructed to enable reading even in sunlight. Sunlight-readable displays need a brightness of at least 1000cd/m². Our EA uniTFTs series for example is definitely sunlight readable.

If a device is installed outdoors (sunlight) or is to be read as a handheld device, sunlight readability must be considered. Reading or readability in direct sunlight depends on many parameters. Let us advise you: email
