Medical Displays: Precision and Reliability is our Focus

The environment for displays for medical applications is very rigorous and demanding. Characteristics of a superior display in surgery centers vary quite significantly from those used in an office. US Micro Products offers an array of displays and customizations specifically designed for a variety of uses by surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, and orthopedists, to name a few. Of particular importance today are archiving and retrieval systems for images and medical records (PACS).

From 2013 to 2017 surgical and clinical review display revenues are each expected to grow at a 9% annually, and diagnostic displays are set to increase by 5%. This is according to a report last year from NPD Display Search. The report also states that, “Technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, creating new medical imaging procedures that require sophisticated high resolution and larger display solutions,” Important growth areas are in diagnostics (half of all display users), surgery (a quarter of all users), and in radiology. Another report from the marketing firm IHSsays the world-wide market for medical displays will be $3.2 billion in revenue in 2017, up from $2.5 billion in 2012.

We offer medical display solutions that provide reliability, readability and safety. Our displays are designed to be useful and reliable in low/diffused-light conditions and in situations where contamination from touching, smears, spills and spatters is likely. The space around an operating table is at a premium and not everybody who needs it can have a close and unobstructed view. Our engineers have taken this into account and have designed displays to be viewable from wide angles and with higher resolution so fine details won’t be missed.

Our displays designed for medical applications offer a range of affordable choices for customers with specific needs:

• High Resolution Displays:
  
 - 2M pixel up to 5M pixel
• High Contrast and High Brightness:
  - High contrast ratio to help resolve fine detail, contrast ratio from 600:1 to 1000:1
  - Brightness can be customized according to customer’s application from 250nits to 500nits or higher
• Wide Viewing Angles:
  - LCD In-Plane Switching technology (IPS) to enhance viewing angle without color shift or decrease of image quality
  - Displays are available with a minimum of 80 degrees viewability in each direction
• High Color Gamut to provide True Color:
  - 10 bits to 12 bits of color according to customer’s system configuration
• AG/AR anti-reflective, evaporative coated cover glass and optical bonding to enhance readability
• Ethanol agent-durable cover glass to protect display and make easy to clean
• Friendly DVI connection interface. Display port can be customized.
• Long lifetime of at least three years under continuous use.
• 50K hours of backlight life.
• Our Projected Capacitive Touchscreen technology (PCAP) is able to detect touches by an operator wearing latex gloves and if there are fluids or blood on the screen
• Our displays feature low power consumption for battery powered portable devices
• By using low power backlights and displays, we are able to extend the battery life of the product. We also design-in the smallest and lightest display and backlight for weight consideration
• Specialized displays for professional wearables
