    Question Temperature Problems

    Hey.

    I´m thinking about installing a raw TFT-Display.

    But the most Specs say, that the working temp.range is between 0°-50°...

    What could happen in winter, when it´s very cold?

    My Lilliput's touchscreen hasn't worked properly the last 2 mornings with temps in the 40-50F range.

    It seems the top plastic layer of the screen, which I assume is the Touchscreen, bubbles up and away from the LCD, which seems odd. I would think the plastic would contract in the cold, so I figure there is a metal frame holding the plastic film tight, and the metal is shrinking a bit causing the tension on the plastic to loosen. Problem goes away when things warm up, but it takes 15-20 minutes.

    Anyone else have this problem? possible solution?

    TIA

    Uhm.... 0 C is = to 32F defined as the freezing point of H2O.

    The display may be sluggish untill it warms up. Any other issue would not be related to Temp.
