Considerations for Lithium Ion Batteries in Hybrid Vehicles Below Freezing

Posted on May 2nd, 2012 by Kathleen Wolfe

The Lithium Ion battery has been chosen as one of the best batteries for hybrid vehicles because of the power density, most power available from the weight and size of the battery.

However, charging the battery below 32 degrees Fahrenheit is a major problem. Read more…

LCD Screen Heaters — How to Overcome Temperature Limitations

Posted on April 6th, 2012 by Kathleen Wolfe

When you are designing an LCD screen it’s important to realize what the temperature limitations are especially if you are using the display on a computer that’s being used in the outdoors where the temperature extremes can dive to below zero. Several things can happen, one is contrast, some displays will either be difficult to view, or difficult to view at a wide range of angles. Another problem is condensation.

Here are the answers to your extreme temperature problems: Read more…

LCD Screen Heaters – Display Heaters

Posted on January 9th, 2012 by Kathleen Wolfe

Do you have an LCD screen that’s responding slowly, or the contrast is poor, when operating at low temperatures?

Typical problems with LCD screens, and sometimes other types of displays:

LCD screens can take 2-4 seconds to refresh the screen at temperatures approaching -20 degrees C, or the contrast becomes difficult to read.

Heatron has developed Clearview heaters (LCD screen heaters) that can be placed on your LCD screen that will resolve your slow response times and contrast problems. This works well in military, automotive, and outdoor remote applications that are subjected to extreme temperatures.

Clearview heaters don’t impact the display, other than getting the display working faster and better at the extreme tempertues.

Low cost at low temperatures

Suited to small to large LCD displays
Works with LCD and other types of displays over a wide range of temperatures
