VII.  Presentation of Your Material using the LT3200   

You should experiment with placement of the objects to be displayed in the LT3200 to optimize 
their appearance and interaction with your video content.  You will find that the brightness of 
display box and the legibility of the screen content can be affected by the color of objects 
placed in the display box.  For best results we suggest avoiding large areas of dark colors 
inside the display box.   

Most conventional digital signage video content can be used with the LT3200, but 
enhancements to the content are possible to optimize the attention-grabbing effect you and 
your customers will see in using the Planar transparent display.  In preparing video content for 
the LT3200 driving the LCD to white will produce the highest transparency while black screen 
features will result in the most opacity.  Intermediate colors will have intermediate 
transparency.  Note that slide-show presentation software, such a Microsoft Powerpoint™, can 
be used to create simple but effective content for the LT3200.   

In order to maximize the brightness of the LT3200 we have provided an extremely high level of 
white light illumination for your display box design.  In addition to enhancing the appearance of 
objects inside the box and of the LCD display, this intense light level can be used to drive a 
photovoltaic turntable to further enhance the eye-catching performance of your Planar 
transparent display box by rotating your interior content.  These light-driven turntables are 
available online: search using the keywords: “solar turntable”.  Most of these turntables have a 
limited weight capacity.   

We recommend testing of materials to be displayed for an extended period (weeks to months) 
in the display box for their color stability.  The intense white light illumination required inside 
the box can cause color fading due to photobleaching, similar to what can happen to 
vulnerable colored materials due to exposure to sunlight.
