Overview

• Xplores Dual Mode AllVue (iX104C2DV) brings
  together two industry leading functionalities in
  a rugged mobile Tablet PC
• Dual Mode input capabilities
• AllVue LCD technology
• This presentation outlines the individual
  benefits of the Dual Mode and AllVue technologies
  that have been combined to create an industry
  first - iX104C2DV.

Dual Mode Technology Overview

• What is Xplores Dual Mode Technology?
• Xplores Dual Mode AllVue (iX104C2DV) is a unique
  mobile computer that integrates two (2) digitizer
  technologies for dual input capabilities active
  Pen (RF) and finger touch.
• Measurable benefits are realized through enhanced
  user functionality, added insurance and
  standardization flexibility.
• Xplores iX104C2DV external appearance is the
  same as any other iX104 family model in order to
  maintain uniformity in our product line-up.

Dual Mode Technology-Key Benefits

• Xplores Dual Mode Technology was created to
  address common concerns facing enterprise clients
  today
• Assurance of continual use - Enterprise clients
  with mission critical applications want to have
  the insurance of 2 digitizers so that in the
  event of a loss or damage to the digital pen a
  user can easily convert to touch input and
  maintain operational status.
• One Single Roll-out Company-wide Xplores Dual
  Mode Systems can by deployed by enterprise
  clients without the worry of operating system
  load or hardware configuration. It can then be
  left to the specific user groups to select the
  operating mode (Active or Touch input) of the
  machine based on their unique requirements while
  maintaining corporate standards.
• Different Usage Profiles End users will utilize
  mobile computers in different ways depending on
  whether they are in a vehicle, on a forklift or
  outside working remotely. Xplores Dual mode
  interface accommodates different input modes
  needed by users in these varying environments.
  For instance when mounted the system is running
  under touch mode for safety purposes, when the
  unit goes mobile it converts to pen mode for
  digital inking, signature capture and improved
  accuracy.

Industry Challenge

• The Problem
• Commercially available LCD displays do not offer
  enough brightness to make the display functional
  in outdoors, or in other high ambient light
  applications

Standard Display
Xplore AllVue

Display Technology Alternatives

• Transmissive TFT LCDs are backlight based. They
  are best for indoor readability with high
  contrast and brightness but they offer poor
  sunlight readability and poor battery life.
• Reflective TFT LCDs are the best type for
  extended battery life performance, but they
  perform relatively poorly indoors. Although front
  lights can provide enhanced readability in low to
  moderate light conditions, they bring back
  battery life issues and cause viewability
  problems. Outdoor view ability is enhanced under
  optimal external lighting conditions.
• Transflective TFT LCDs offer a tradeoff in both
  dark room and bright room conditions. Hence they
  are weak in environments under low light
  conditions and only provide benefits in ideal
  external light conditions

Alternative Solutions Proposed in the Market

• High Brightness-Increase the luminance of a
  liquid crystal display by increasing the amount
  and intensity of the backlight
• The power consumption becomes very high, thermal
  issues arise and cost soars
• Increasing brightness merely lightens the overall
  display.
• The light and black areas become brighter which
  means the contrast is actually lowered.
• The human eye eventually becomes saturated with
  brightness and stops responding to it.

Increasing the NIT count is not the most
effective and reliable answer to improving
overall view ability
8
AllVue A Better Approach

• Contrast Ratio-Contrast ratio of a display in
  high ambient lighting levels requires that the
  reflections, both specular and diffuse, from
  the display be carefully controlled
• Contrast is what the human eye most easily
  responds to and recognizes.
• In addition reflectivity must be carefully
  managed.
• Thus, the challenge is not to increase brightness
  but to increase contrast and manage reflectivity
  levels.

Xplores AllVue Technology

• The Xplore Solution
• Vastly reduces reflective light which causes
  visual washout of the display image.
• Greatly increases the overall contrast ratio.
• Enhances structural integrity by supporting the
  LCD.

Customer Benefits Xplores Dual Mode AllVue

• Multi Input Capabilities allows customers to
  address multiple applications either touch or
  active RF input with a single device thereby
  maximizing initial investments and efficiencies
  through single platform support
• LCD That Can Actually Be Seen In The Field
  maximizes user acceptance and usage which in turn
  improves efficiencies associated with the project
  objectives

11
Dual Mode AllVue

• Xplores Dual Mode AllVue display provides
  touch screen and active stylus input
  functionality while substantially improving
  outdoor viewing.
• The result is a combination of benefits unique in
  the Rugged Tablet PC market.

• 189 increase in contrast ratio

Select Customer Comments
We selected Xplores rugged Tablet PC System
based on our needs for a rugged, reliable Tablet
PC that provided screens that were actually
viewable in varying outdoor lighting conditions
and provided ATEX safety certifications, stated
Major Peter J. Woudsma from the Royal Netherlands
Air Force.
Royal Netherlands Air Force
According to Staff Sgt. Fred Itule, The iX104
proved to be the best solution for us for a
number of reasons the weight, portability, ease
of use, ruggedness and screen view ability.

Select Customer Comments
A very important factor that influenced our
decision for the Xplore tablet, is the size of
the screen. It enables both the drivers and
customers to view more information, when they are
on-line reading dispatch notes. We also like the
element of the dual mode screen, as the drivers
often prefer to use the touch screen, states
David Williams, Systems Process Manager at Exel
UK Ltd.
Readability of display in varying conditions
in the vehicle and also outdoors is extremely
important for us, states Matti Sundholm. this
was a crucial factor in the companys choice of
the Xplore iX104C2 with hi-brite indoor/outdoor
readable AllVue technology display. The computer
size is ideal.
