What types of displays are commonly used in Marine fieild?

Many Marine electronic systems use electronic displays to display and update information to the crew, but not all screens are suitable for use on a ship. Onboard displays must be able to withstand harsh conditions and be readable in all weather conditions, day or night. Once installed on a ship, displays may be frequently affected by the following factors:

l Direct sunlight

l Extreme temperatures

l Moisture from fresh and salt water, including potential temporary immersion

l Dust and other contaminants

l Motion and vibration

l Impact

To make displays more suitable for marine applications, manufacturers may use elements such as anti-reflective film to improve visibility in sunlight, which is called a "daylight readable" display in industry terms. Shatterproof glass and heavy-duty bezels and casings can be used to increase durability. Displays are usually installed in the ship's cockpit or pilothouse or on the bridge. They can also be installed in the cabin for passenger entertainment or installed in various locations on large ships (such as cruise ships) as information display signs.

The following types of displays are commonly used on ships:

1. Liquid crystal display (LCD): With clear image quality, low power consumption and relatively small size, it is suitable for display interfaces of various marine equipment.

2. Light-emitting diode display (LED): high brightness, strong contrast, good durability, can provide clear display under various lighting conditions, often used in ship navigation systems and external information display.

3. Touch screen display: convenient for operators to perform intuitive interactive operations, suitable for ship control systems and information query terminals.

4. Rugged display: after special shockproof, waterproof, dustproof and anti-corrosion treatment, it can adapt to the complex operating environment of ships.

5. Electronic paper display (EPD): low power consumption, suitable for use in some information display scenarios with high endurance requirements and low update frequency.

When choosing a display for ships, factors such as the ship's operating environment, display requirements, reliability and durability need to be considered.
