Gleichmann and Tovis have agreed to a sales cooperation on a pan-European level. Tovis rebuilds ordinary TFT panels into so-called "stretched panels" which results in aspect ratios of e.g. 32:9 to 56:9. To achieve this, panels in the usual 4:3 or 16:9 formats are precisely cut and then immediately thereafter sealed again without any loss of liquid. This is performed using Tovis’ patented cutting and sealing process.

Gleichmann Electronics will present the product range at embedded world. Products currently includes ten different panel sizes from 6.2 inch to 49.5-inch with various resolutions, whereby the two recently introduced 37.9-inch and 28.4 inch panels with heights from 234 mm and 296 mm respectively, manufactured from future-oriented Full HD displays, are particularly well suited for all types of travel and air passenger information.

All of Tovis’ displays feature ultra-wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178°. In addition, all larger displays have a brightness of greater than 400cd/m2 and are therefore also suited for use in bright lit environments. The first high-brightness version with 1000 cd/m2  has been announced for the first  quarter of 2010.

The various TFT displays can be provided by Gleichmann Electronics, depending on the needs, as: module (LVDS input), open frame monitor (RGB/DVI input) or also complete monitor with enclosure. Furthermore, for a minimum quantity of a few hundred, Gleichmann Electronics and Tovis also offer additional customer-specific panels.
