Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General / Pre-Sales Questions

Do you offer outdoor displays with clear visibility even when the viewer is wearing polarized sunglasses?

Most LCD displays use polarizers to reduce glare and improve the viewing angle of the display. The polarizers are typically made of thin sheets of polarizing film that are placed over the front and back of the display. These polarizers allow light to pass through in only one direction, which helps to reduce glare and improve the contrast of the display. However, when viewed through polarized sunglasses, the polarizers in the LCD display and the sunglasses can interfere, causing the display to appear dark or distorted. This is because the polarizers in the sunglasses and the LCD display are oriented in different directions and block light from different angles. As a result, the display may appear darker or have reduced contrast when viewed through polarized sunglasses. Eflyn uses a proprietary special film that is applied to the LCD panel to preserve the polarization of the display and also improves its visibility when viewed through polarized sunglasses.

Does the high-brightness outdoor digital signage add strain to the human eyes?

To minimize the risk of eye strain from high-brightness outdoor digital signage, Eflyn use Ambient light sensors in all our outdoor displays. These sensors measure the amount of light in the environment and send a signal to the display to adjust the brightness accordingly.

Why is Outdoor digital signage more expensive than indoor digital signage?

Outdoor digital signage tends to be more expensive than indoor digital signage for several reasons:

Durability: Outdoor digital signage needs to be able to withstand a wider range of environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust, which requires the use of specialized materials and construction techniques. This can increase the cost of the display.
Viewability: Outdoor displays need to be seen clearly in different lighting conditions, including direct sunlight, which may require the use of high-brightness displays and other features to improve viewability. This can also increase the cost of the display.
Security: Outdoor displays may be more vulnerable to tampering or theft and may require additional security measures, such as enclosures or security cameras, which can increase the cost of the display.
Installation and maintenance: Outdoor displays may require specialized installation and maintenance procedures, such as weatherproofing and cleaning, which can increase the overall cost of the display.

Technical Questions

What is Anti Graffiti Paint Coating?

Anti-graffiti paint coatings are protective coatings that are applied to surfaces to prevent graffiti from adhering to the surface and to make it easier to remove graffiti if it does occur. These coatings are often used on outdoor surfaces, such as walls, buildings, and public infrastructure, that are vulnerable to graffiti vandalism. Anti-graffiti paint coatings are typically applied as a clear, transparent layer over the existing paint or surface. They work by creating a smooth, non-porous surface that graffiti cannot adhere to, making it easier to remove graffiti using water and a mild cleaner. Eflyn uses Anti-graffiti paint coatings in most of our outdoor digital signage and outdoor self-checkout kiosks. We believe this special coating in conjunction with other anti-graffiti measures, such as surveillance cameras, helps deter graffiti vandalism and maintain the appearance of the surface of the outdoor displays.

What is ioT-Based Environmental Monitoring System?

An IoT (Internet of Things) based environmental monitoring system is a network of sensors, devices, and software that is used to collect, transmit, and analyze data about the environment. These systems can be used to monitor a wide range of environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, noise level, and other factors, and can provide real-time data and alerts to help organizations or individuals make informed decisions about their environment. IoT-based environmental monitoring systems can be used in a variety of settings, including industrial, commercial, and residential applications. They can be used to optimize energy use, improve indoor air quality, monitor the health and safety of buildings and occupants, and support other environmental management goals. IoT-based environmental monitoring systems typically use wireless communication technologies, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or cellular, to transmit data from the sensors to a central hub or server, where it can be processed and analyzed. The data can then be accessed and visualized through a web-based interface or mobile app, or it can be integrated with other systems or applications.

What is IP (Ingress Protection) 65 or IP-65 rating?

IP (Ingress Protection) rating is a system used to rate the level of protection provided by an enclosure against the ingress of solid objects and liquids. The IP rating consists of two numbers: the first number refers to the level of protection against solid objects, and the second number refers to the level of protection against liquids. An IP65 rating indicates that the enclosure provides a high level of protection against solid objects and low-pressure water jets. Specifically, the “6' rating indicates that the enclosure is dust-tight, which means that it is completely protected against the ingress of dust. The “5' rating indicates that the enclosure is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, which means that it can withstand water spray or splashing from any angle without water entering the enclosure. IP65 rated enclosures are commonly used in outdoor or industrial environments where the equipment needs to be protected from dust and water. They may also be used in other applications where a high level of protection is required, such as in medical or food processing facilities.

Why do I see a little gap between the glass and the LCD in your outdoor touchscreen digital signage?

The main reason is that we have added this gap to have air circulation between the LCD and the tempered glass. In general, air circulation between the LCD and the tempered glass helps to maintain the optimal operating conditions for the display and can improve its performance and reliability in outdoor environments.

Thermal management: The LCD and other components in the display generate heat during operation, and air circulation can help to dissipate this heat and prevent overheating.
Condensation prevention: Outdoor displays are exposed to a range of temperature and humidity conditions, and air circulation can help to prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the display.
Dust prevention: Air circulation can help to prevent dust and other contaminants from accumulating between the LCD and the tempered glass, which can affect the display’s performance and lifespan.
Touch accuracy: Air circulation can help to maintain a consistent air gap between the LCD and the tempered glass, which is important for maintaining the accuracy and sensitivity of the touch screen.
