Hi community,
I’m currently working on an outdoor monitoring gateway based on the Khadas VIM4, which will be deployed in an environment with extreme seasonal temperature swings. One of my biggest challenges is the display’s reliability. Most consumer-grade screens tend to have “ghosting” in freezing winters or “blackout” issues under direct summer sunlight.
I’ve been researching industrial panels that can truly handle the -40~+85℃ range. I came across this 7-inch 800x480 LVDS wide temperature industrial LCD. It seems promising for outdoor use due to its 500 nits brightness and 20-pin LVDS interface.
My question to the experts here:
- When interfacing such a 20-pin LVDS panel with Khadas boards, do you recommend a specific MIPI-DSI to LVDS bridge, or is it better to use a dedicated converter board?
- Has anyone tested the power consumption stability of industrial displays like this in sub-zero temperatures?
Would love to hear your thoughts on thermal management for displays in rugged applications.
