Planar® ERO™ (Extended Ruggedness and Optics™) is proprietary protection technology for best-in-class Planar display products deployed in high-traffic and interactive environments that extends durability and adds peace of mind. It is available in three unique variations to suit the individual needs of different display technologies. Planar ERO protects display solutions from things like casual contact, front impact, edge impact, liquids, dust, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and humidity.
Expert LED technicians apply this proprietary material in the tiny gaps between LEDs, at the module level and below the LED surface, solidifying them and simplifying service. Displays with Planar ERO-LED have non-reflective matte finishes and are virtually indistinguishable from untreated LED displays.
This proprietary process involves optical bonding or laminating cover glass to the front surface of the LCD video wall or large format LCD display with a bonding agent that completely fills the air gap. Planar ERO-LCD also improves perceived contrast by more than 300% and reduces parallax error.
This process bonds protective glass to the front surface of the Planar LookThru Transparent OLED Display. Like the process with Planar ERO-LCD, a bonding agent is inserted between the cover glass and the OLED display panel, then cured in a process that affixes the stack together while solidifying the bonding agent.
Interactive display solutions are increasingly common in classrooms, meeting rooms, retail and public spaces. Adding Planar ERO technology ensures touch screens won't succumb to constant interaction from people—with varying levels of gentleness—who use them for learning, collaborating or shopping.
