INFOSIGN® Cholesteric Display Modules and Controller

INFOSIGN® display modules are for general purpose graphic and character display applications. All Kent Displays Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display (ChLCD) products take advantage of the technology’s unique “No Power” attribute without compromising superior optical performance even in direct sunlight. INFOSIGN® display modules require an external controller.

The INFOSIGN® controller is designed for use with single and multiple display module configurations. The controller can be mounted directly behind a display module or at a separate location using a 24-conductor ribbon cable assembly. A single controller can control up to 12 INFOSIGN® display modules.

The INFOSOFT software, a Windows® based graphical user interface for data entry and control of the INFOSIGN®, permits text entry in any resident font including all Windows® supported language fonts. The ability to download bitmaps from a PC to the INFOSIGN® is also supported. INFOSOFT includes a scheduler, which allows a sequence of images and/or text to be programmed to appear on the INFOSIGN® modules at specified times.
Developers with application specific INFOSIGN® control requirements should refer to Kent Displays Standard Serial Protocol document (#25016).
