Applications
Since 1971, Dontech has provided customers with proven optical filter designs, rapid prototyping, and consistent high product quality. Practical knowledge gained from many years of
“hands on” optical display filter design and fabrication
is applied to customer specific applications, providing Dontech
with the resources to recommend the most cost effective and practical
designs and product options. Dontech’s diverse technical
staff of engineers and scientists allows Dontech to work with
its customers in developing new and higher-performing optical
filters and display assemblies. Typical optical filter applications
include:
• LCDs
• Optical Components & Assemblies
• Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)
• CRTs
• LEDs
• Electroluminescent (EL) Displays
• Plasma Displays
• Vacuum Fluorescent Displays
• Electronic Equipment Cabinets and Enclosures
• Structural and Shielded Windows
• Instrument Panels
Dontech’s dynamic product line of optical
filters, enhancements and assembly services is supported by fabrication
experience and capability with an extensive range of optical substrates,
colors, in house thin and thick film coatings, optical laminations,
and ancillary products. This depth allows Dontech to meet even
the most demanding customer application requirements. Electronic
display enhancements are typically governed by three primary application
requirements:
• Optical Performance Improvement – (e.g., increased brightness, contrast enhancement, reduced glare,
better viewing angles, night vision compatibility)
• EMI/RFI Shielding – Susceptibility
or radiated emissions compliance for military (e.g., MIL-STD-461,
MIL-STD-464), FCC, Secure communication (e.g., Tempest), ISO and
VDE requirements.
• Environmental – Suitable durability
for high or low temperature extremes (e.g., -65ºC to +85ºC)
is integrated into construction of the product. Ruggedness ranging
from the military requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-810 sand, dust,
salt, water, chemical resistance, humidity, impact, shock and
vibration) to the commercial abrasion, chemical, and cleaning
requirements, are also addressed.
Dontech’s facilities are equipped with the current generation
of design, manufacturing, and test equipment with methods and
procedures in place to ensure product compliance and verification
of designs. Dontech application engineers can recommend the most
suitable optical filter or display enchancement design to meet
virtually any display or optical assembly enhancement application.
