Flat Panel Displays find their way into almost every industry and all possible applications. As designers leap to take advantage of this technology and design them into products that range from iPods to Mega Digital Signage screens, it becomes inevitable that the off the shelf (OTS) LCDs require modifications. Modifications for sun light view ability, vandal shield, ruggedization etc. One such modification is the need for shield from Electromagnetic Interference. It is important to understand that the need for EMI shielding is not due to the LCD but due to the components in the overall product incorporating the Display emitting radiation. Hence, the need for shielding which can be integrated to the Display.

 As the demand for Displays rise, so is the need for Touch Screens that are integrated with the Display for ease of user interface. Display integrated with Touch enables the designer the flexibility of using the integrated unit to have the ability to also shield from EMI. Further, more and more applications demand the need for sunlight readable Display systems. In cases where such systems also incorporate Touch Screens, it becomes the designer’s delight as the Touch Screen can potentailly be used to achieve both optical enhancements and EMI shielding.
