LCD in sunlight
Will it harm a LCD screen to be in the sunlight? I have a 4x40 LCD I am mounting in my second DIN slot, and before I do, I would like to know if anyone here has ever had a LCD ruined by having it exposed to the sunlight?
And, does anyone here have a Schematic for a 4x40 Densitron LCD from Timeline?
I can't get a straight awnser out of them, and another guy from this board I talked to coudldn't seem to find one.
Thanks

You can contact me on AOL instant messenger....nick is cenwesi or cenwesi3
As much as I hat to say this - ( particularly to cenwesi) (because I really don’t want to start a ****ing match)
So, once again, cenwesi - love your apps, but your dead wrong.
Now, please keep in mind this will not happen over night, the process takes time ( years) but :
The UV rays from the sun will cause the chemicals inside your LCD to deteriorate.
It wont take out a pixel or anything, but slowly, you will notice the screen is not as bright as it once was, colors appear washed out, contrast fades.
I have a UV filter over my LCD
Ooh! Where can I get one of those; Ill be needing one.
They come in many forms,
1. Glare filter for monitor – usually glass or plastic, can be cut to size once removed from the plastic housing.
2. Auto tint - Easily found as a plastic film, easy to cut.
3. Spray on coating – Can be found at most eye care stores, designed as an anti scratch / glare coating for eyewear. Just look for “UV protection” on the bottle.
Would sun affect a TFT monitor?
I'm going to factor a guess and say that sun would probably be worse in the short term for the TFT than text LCD.
I cheat, I own an empeg.

Yes, UV will eat into TFT as well as Character LCD's
The effects are most notable on color TFT's
hi,
Im presuming that if the LCD is is in a car it will take no damage as UV light cant penetrate glass. im no expert but i think i read that somewhere
You can get glass with UV filters, or a coating on it.
Regular glass will happily pass along the UV rays
