A general rule of thumb is that the OVD (in m) = 2 x pixel pitch (in mm). Although very handy, this rule of thumb should not be considered an absolute truth. In control room applications, such as SCADA or content with small letters, the OVD can increase. An on-site evaluation is therefore a good idea.
TruePix is available with pixel pitches of 0.9 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm and 1.9 mm.
So which one is best suited for your application? The key is to know the viewing distance.
The Optimal Viewing Distance (OVD) of
your display is the distance from which you
can no longer distinguish the individual
pixels but start to see a uniform reproduction
of the content. The image at the right explains
the optimal viewing distance for the different
available pixel pitches.
