Shielding of cut outs in enclosures
Cut outs in enclosures for display systems are quite difficult to shield. Therefore the industry offers so called - or shielded windows.
We offer three different types of transparent shielded windows:
Shielded windows according to customer specifications
Main applications for shielded windows are display systems like LCD-, LED-, plasma displays, monitors and information systems. As such windows will always be manufactured according customer specifications, it is suggested to select as follows:
- Selection of the base material (glass or plastic)
- Selection of the colour of the window (transparent, green, red, blue etc.)
- Definition of the size and the thickness
- Construction of the window (butt edge or step construction)
- Definition of the requested shielding attenuation
- Definition of the anti-reflection requested (Multi-layer coating or chemical etching)
- Selection of the gasket type to be used for connecting the window to the chassis
