Richardson Electronics adds to its multi-modality display portfolio

Richardson Electronics has released its Image Systems high-bright color LCD 2-and 3-megapixel series for medical imaging.

The company said that both displays emit a peak brightness of 600 candelas per sq. meter (cd/m2), which equates to a sustainable calibrated brightness of 450 to 500 cd/m2. The 21.3-inch FP2202CHBP provides a contrast ratio of 500:1 and 1200 x 1600 standard resolution. The 3MP FP2080CHBP offers a 20.8-inch screen with a 600:1 contrast ratio and standard resolution of 2048 x 1536.

“Backlight stabilization circuitry, an embedded front sensor and Image Systems’ CFS calibration software allow users to perform their own color point calibration and color-matching,” said Chris Kane, director of marketing and product management for Richardson Electronics Healthcare. “This helps healthcare facilities ensure they maintain AAPM TG18 and DICOM compliance throughout the useful life of their displays.”

The high-bright color LCDs include a three-year warranty and free HotSwap Advance Product Replacement service, the company said.
