3 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
What’s in the Fabricator’s Guide
This document is intended to give guidelines and help for installers and fabricators working with the
Planar® LookThru™ Transparent OLED display. This document is not meant to replace the manual, nor
will it provide specifics on how to work in each environment where a Planar LookThru Transparent
OLED display might be installed. Instead, this document will provide expert fabricators and installers
with the information and understanding necessary to make the most of Planar LookThru displays.
Detailed specification and instructions on operating the Planar LookThru display can be found in the
User Manual.
What’s in the Box
Display
Planar LookThru displays come in four models (described in
detail in the next section), and all models are made up of
three main components: Display Glass, Display Chassis and
Electronics Box. The Display Chassis is the main support for
the entire display and should be used when removing the
display from the box, moving it or mounting it during
installation.
Counterweight Plate
The counterweight plate serves as a stabilizer and ships
attached to the Electronics Box on Standard Models (more
information on models later). The counterweight plate
should be removed if the Planar LookThru display will be
mounted to a fixture or surface.
Cable Cover
Due to the orientation of the circuit boards in the Electronics Box, it is
asymmetrical when compared to the Display Chassis. The cable cover
makes the Electronics Box symmetrical without restricting access to the
I/O ports. Note: Never use the cable cover to lift or move the display.
HDMI and Power Cables
The Planar LookThru display has a standard 110VAC power cable as well
as one HDMI cable included. The display has four HDMI ports (2x 2.0 and
2x 1.4), one DisplayPort input (1.2), one DisplayPort output, as well as
connections for RS-232 controllers, LAN, USB and the infrared sensor.
Standard Model

4 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
Remote and Sensor
You can control the Planar LookThru display with the included remote
control through on On-Screen Display (OSD). To increase the range of the
remote control, a 112-inch (2850mm) cable is also included.
Quick Start Guide and USB Drive
A printed guide with the basic information necessary to start and operate
the Planar LookThru display is included, but the more detailed User Manual,
Content Developer’s Guide and this Fabrication Guide are stored on the
USB drive that is also in the box.
Optional Accessories
Depending on your installation needs some of the optional accessories
may help to facilitate proper use of a Planar LookThru display.
Platform Cover
The Electronics Box has perforations that allow for proper airflow and
cooling. If the installation requires items to be placed close to the Display
Glass, the platform cover protects the Electronics Box and supports any
display items. The Platform Cover can accommodate display items up to
a total of 20lbs (9kg). Do not exceed 20lbs in total weight on the platform
cover.
Tiling Kit
If multiple Planar LookThru displays will be installed in a tiled configuration, optional tiling hardware
can be used to help connect the free corners of the Display Glass (i.e. not the corners connected to the
Display Chassis).
Note that the Display Glass is not designed to bear any load. The tiling hardware only connects the
corners of the Display Glass and does not provide any structural support for the displays or any
fabricated installation.

7 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
Base Plates
If the display will be
mounted to a ceiling,
wall or tabletop, the
Baseplate provides a
mounting platform.
The Baseplate aligns
with the mounting
holes on the standard
version of the Planar
LookThru display
(more about the
version in the next
section) and allows the mounting into the support structure to be independent of the mounting
points on the Display Chassis and Electronics Box. The Baseplate can be used for either landscape or
portrait orientation and is designed to accommodate standard wall studs that are 16-inches on center.
The Baseplates provide adequate airflow for the Planar LookThru display and allow multiple displays
to be connected and mounted together.
Introduction to the Planar LookThru Transparent OLED Display
The Planar LookThru Transparent OLED display represents an entirely new type of display technology.
With that newness comes some considerations that must be addressed.
Short Description of OLED Technology and Planar LookThru Design
The Planar LookThru display uses active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) to create an
emissive display that is also transparent (technically translucent with 45% of light passing through it).
Because each pixel is made up of light-emitting diodes, there is no backlight as on a traditional LCD
display; rather, each pixel generates its own light and heat.
The Planar LookThru display comes in four models:
-LO55: Standard Model
-LO55-S: Straight Mount Model
-LO55-T: Standard Model with Touch
-LO55-ST: Straight Mount Model with Touch
The Standard Models (both with and without an
installed touch-interface) have the Electronics Box
set at a 90-degree angle to the Display Glass. The
Straight Mount models have the Electronics Box set
parallel to the Display Glass for installations.
Touch Model Display Glass is surrounded on four
sides by an IR-touch-sensing frame and is not
suitable for tiled installations.
Straight Mount Model (LO55-S)

8 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
Front vs Rear Viewing
Because each pixel is emitting its own light, the display can be viewed from the back as well as the
front (the back side being where the Electronics Box is located). However, the light emitted toward the
rear is much less than that on the front and any image viewed from behind will be reversed.
Cooling Features
The Planar LookThru display generates significant heat that must be dissipated. The Electronics Box is
perforated to allow for good airflow but installations must keep at least 0.25-inches (5mm) between
the Electronics Box and the mounting surface and 0.5-inches (12mm) above the Electronics Box to
allow for that airflow. Additionally, dust build-up can prevent adequate cooling so regular vacuuming
must be facilitated in the installation to allow for the cooling features to work.
Glass Treatment
The front surface of the Display Glass is made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass that is bonded to the display
and covered with an anti-reflective coating. The Corning Gorilla Glass provides scratch resistance on
the front of the display only. The back side of the display is susceptible to damage from sharp and/or
hard objects and should be protected accordingly.
Input/Output
A single display installation can be driven from
any HDMI or DisplayPort capable source. If
multiple displays will be tiled together, the RS-
232 connection will allow custom display
hardware to drive the displays.
Installations should take into account the
location of the inputs on the Electronics Box as well as provide access to either the keypad on the back
or the remote control (with an included 112-inch extension cord and sensor).
Safe Handling
When removing the display from its box or moving it
around, hold it by the indicated handholds on the
Display Chassis and Electronics Box. Do not lift, move
or shift the display by the Display Glass.
When moving or installing the display it is
recommended to have at least two people.
The display ships with a protective film over both the
front and rear sides of the Display Glass. When
removing the film there is a possibility of
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Wear an appropriate

9 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
ESD safety device and/or connect the Planar
LookThru display’s power cord to a grounded outlet
before removing the protective film to prevent ESD
damage to the electronic components.
Do not bend or flex the Display Glass away from the
Display Chassis. The glass is not designed to bear
any weight or to be flexed at all. Doing so can
weaken the connections between the Display Glass
and the Display Chassis and result in damage to the
display.
Whenever transporting a Planar LookThru display, it is recommended that the shipping box be used. If
you think that the display may be transported after the initial installation, retain the shipping material
to protect it.
The Electronics Box needs at least 0.25-inches (5mm) below and 0.5-inches (12mm) above of clearance
for adequate airflow. Carpet or other soft materials that can flex by at least 0.25-inches are not suitable
installation bases for the display.
If the feet need to be removed from the Display Chassis and Electronics Box for a mounted installation,
at least two people should lay the Display Glass flat on a protected surface so that the Electronics Box
is in the air (ideally before the protective film is removed). Remove the feet and then, lifting by the
Electronics Box and Display Chassis, return the Planar LookThru display to a vertical position.
Cleaning
Both after installation and throughout the life of the display, appropriate cleaning will be necessary.
Metal Surfaces
The metal surfaces of the Display Chassis and the Electronics Box can be wiped with a dry, lint-free
towel. If any cleaning product is necessary it should be applied sparingly to the towel and never
directly to the display. No liquid should be allowed to get into the Electronics Box or into the gap
between the Display Glass and chassis.
A vacuum cleaner should be used to clean any accumulated dust or lint on the Display Chassis and
Electronics Box. Do not use compressed air to blow the dust around as it can be pushed into the
Electronics Box and impede the normal airflow.
Glass
The anti-reflective coating on the front of the Display Glass can be difficult to clean well. Use a soft
cloth that does not produce lint such as premium cheesecloth. Use a glass cleaner that is designed for

10 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
LCD displays. If there are stubborn smudges or sticky substances on the glass, high-quality isopropyl
alcohol can be used to remove the substance before using standard glass cleaner.
As with the Electronics Box and Display Chassis, always apply cleaning solution to the cloth in
moderate amounts and then wipe the cloth on the Display Glass. Never apply cleaning solution or
isopropyl alcohol directly to the Display Glass.
Avoid touching or wiping the exposed edge of the Planar LookThru LO55 and LO55-S models
(standard and standard Straight Mount) as the silicon bead that seals the edge of the glass may allow
some silicon onto the Display Glass surface and mar the anti-reflective coating.
Environmental Considerations
Planar LookThru displays are designed for indoor installations not subjected to direct sunlight or
extreme temperatures.
Normal use for the display is considered to be 12 hours per day at 25ºC (77ºF), moving images and 75
nits average luminance on the display.
The ambient temperature should not be below 0ºC (32ºF) nor exceed 40ºC (104ºF) as measured within
24-inches (610mm) of the Electronics Box.
The relative humidity should be kept between 20 and 95% where the Planar LookThru display is
installed.
Planar LookThru displays should not be installed or operated outdoors or in direct sunlight (even
through a window). The display will not be readable in direct sunlight and the ultra-violet radiation
will reduce the lifespan of the display.
The Planar LookThru display does not have a UV protective coating to ensure the best possible image
quality so the installation location must protect the display from UV radiation via direct sunlight (i.e.
not through a window) or other UV sources (e.g. full-spectrum lighting) that might shine on the
display.
Adequate lighting behind the Display Glass will affect the appearance of transparency (similar to
window glass) so lights may need to shine near the Display Glass for your installation to work;
however, ensure that heat-producing lights do not shine directly onto the Display Glass or introduce
heat to the Display Glass.
If it is not possible to keep light sources away from the Display Glass, use low-heat light sources such
as LED or CFL bulbs. Avoid incandescent and/or halogen-type bulbs near the Display Glass.
How are going to use your Planar LookThru Display?
The Planar LookThru display is ideal for many types of installations including hospitality, exhibit
displays, retail displays, wayfinding and entertainment. The specifics of how you install display will
determine the environmental and mechanical needs you will face.

11 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
General Instructions
Planar LookThru displays can be installed vertically or horizontally (in portrait or landscape
orientation) with the Electronics Box facing up, down, left or right.
When installing a Planar LookThru display, it must be supported by the mounting points in the Display
Chassis (primary) and mounting points on the Electronics Box (secondary) and NOT by the Display
Glass. There are 5 primary mount points on the Display Chassis that receive M6 threaded screws. At
least 3 of the 5 primary mounting points must be used when installing the display.
The angle of the mount points should be adjusted to align the Display Glass rather than attempting to
move the Display Glass. For example, the optional base should be shimmed so that the display is level
rather than attempting to adjust the angle of the Display Glass to align it properly.
The glass should not be bent, torqued or subjected to any weight-load.
Disclaimer: Proper installation Planar LookThru Transparent OLED displays is the responsibility of
the customer. Failure to follow safety and installation guidelines from this manual, or installation
of the display in a manner not covered in this document, is the responsibility of the installer and/or
end customer.
Mechanical Considerations
Electrical
Each Planar LookThru display has an average power consumption of between 100 and 130W with a
peak consumption of 145W when the display is completely white (more pixels lit equals more power
used). The standby power for the display is less than 0.5W.
The power supply can accept inputs between 100 and 240V at 50 to 60Hz.
Ensure that the power circuit on which you install a Planar LookThru display can handle not only the
average current, but also the peak current, to avoid tripping circuit breakers or creating a fire hazard.
For example 145W at 110V draws 1.3A of current, a 0.4A spike from the average.
At 220V the 145W peak would draw only 0.66A, however.
Thermal
The Planar LookThru Display Glass produces negligible heat but should be protected from direct heat
sources such as incandescent or halogen lights. The Electronics Box and Display Chassis produce the
majority of the heat from the display’s electronics and must be allowed adequate air circulation.
To prevent ambient noise, the Electronics Box is designed to keep cool without the need for a fan so
long as normal airflow is permitted. A sealed, enclosed box would restrict the airflow and increase the
ambient temperature outside the Planar LookThru display’s operating range (0º to 40ºC). If the

12 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
display’s Electronics Box will be enclosed,
adequate airflow must be provided and at
least 0.25-inches of clearance below and 0.5-
inches above the perforated sides of the
Electronics Box must be present.
Do not cover the perforations on the
Electronics Box with cloth or display items
that might reduce airflow. If display items
need to be placed directly behind the Display
Glass over top of the Electronics Box, consider
using the optional platform cover or build a
platform that meets the same specifications.
If you are installing multiple Planar LookThru
displays in a tiled arrangement so that two or
more Electronics Boxes will have their
perforations adjacent to each other, double
the required gap from 0.25-inches to 0.5-
inches (12mm), or otherwise provide
additional airflow to the Electronics Boxes.
Tabletop Installation
The Planar LookThru display can be set on a tabletop that is of sufficient strength. The Planar LookThru
LO55 and LO55-T models include a Counterweight Plate to increase stability in tabletop installations.
The Counterweight Plate is attached to the bottom of the Electronics Box with 3 M6 screws. If the
display is to be mounted to any fixture or surface, the
Counterweight Plate should be removed first.
The Planar LookThru LO55 model with the Counterweight Plate
attached weighs 73.5lbs (33.4kg) and the Planar LookThru LO55-T
model weighs 90.5lbs (41.1kg). The Counterweight Plate for the
Planar LookThru LO55 model weighs 13.6lbs (6.2kg). For the Planar
LookThru LO55-T the weight is 21lbs (9.5kg).
Straight Mount models do not have Counterweight Plates and must
be mounted to a sufficiently strong fixture or surface.
Mounting
When mounting a Planar LookThru display, the entire weight of the
display must be supported by the Display Chassis and Electronics
Box. The Counterweight Plate (if present) must be removed prior to
mounting.
LO55 Standard Design
LO55-S Straight Mount Design

13 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
No load should be placed on the Display Glass.
Without the Counterweight Plate the Planar LookThru LO55 weighs 59.9lbs (27.2kg), the Planar
LookThru LO55-T weighs 69.5lbs (31.5kg). The Straight Mount Planar LookThru LO55-S weighs 63.5lbs
(28.9kg), and the Planar LookThru LO55-S-T weighs 73.0lbs (33.2kg).
The primary mounting points are on the Display Chassis and at least three out of five of the primary
mounting points must be used when mounting the Planar LookThru display. Ideally, all five should be
used, but when there is no suitable mounting substrate it is permissible to augment the primary
mounting points with the secondary mounting points located on the Electronics Box.
Never use only secondary mounting points. Every installation must use a minimum of 3 primary
mounting points.
Both the primary and secondary mounting points receive M6 threaded mounting screws.
If there is insufficient support on the mounting surface (e.g. the wall studs do not align with the
mounting points) the optional base plate can be used to aid in mounting the Planar LookThru display.
The base plate can be secured to the mounting surface and then the display secured to the mounting
points on the base plate that are aligned with the mounting points on the display.
Any leveling that needs to be done to
align the Display Glass with the rest of
the installation should be done via the
mounting points and/or the Baseplate.
No pressure should be placed on the
glass to move it into position, rather the
Display Chassis and Electronics Box
should be moved to affect the desired
movement in the Display Glass.
Multiple Planar LookThru displays can
be arranged in a tiled installation using
the optional tiling kit.

The optional tiling components are connectors that clip the corners of the Display Glass together to
prevent movement.
oCenter Tiling Component for Flat Configuration (2x2): 935-0421-00
oEdge Tiling Component for Flat Configuration (2x1): 935-0422-00
oCenter Tiling Component for Corner Configuration (2x2): 935-0423-00
oEdge Tiling Component for Corner Configuration (2x1): 935-0424-00
The clips do not provide any structural or load-bearing support. Each Planar LookThru display must be
individually mounted and supported. The clips should not transfer a load from one display to another
nor require the Display Glass to be moved or torqued to install. The purpose of the tiling clips is only
to ensure that the glass remains in its installed position.
The free edges of the Display Glass on the non-touch models (LO55 & LO55-S) are treated with a
silicon sealant to protect the AMOLED electronics inside. Avoid installations where the exposed edge
can be handled by the public or will be subjected to wear to prevent degradation of the seal.
Optical Considerations
The strength and position of ambient lighting will greatly affect the visibility of what is displayed on
the Planar LookThru display and what is seen through it.
Luminance
The average luminance of the Planar LookThru display is about 75 nits. While the actual lighting
output of the display is not very much (a 100W incandescent bulb produces around 18,000 nits), the
contrast between lit pixels and unlit (i.e. transparent) pixels provides a high effective contrast ratio.
When installing a Planar LookThru display it is important to illuminate anything behind the Display
Glass that should be seen through the glass, but to keep that illumination low enough to not
overpower the light output of the display itself. Unfortunately it is not possible to give specific
numbers since distance from the Display Glass, ambient light and display content are all factors that
affect the appearance of transparency and the readability of the display.
Transparency
It is suggested that before an installation is made final that the lighting behind the Display Glass be
tested with the content running on the display to ensure the best possible transparency and visibility
on the display. Dimmable lights for behind the Display Glass will provide flexibility and should be
considered on all installations.

15 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
For installations where the Planar LookThru display is
not enclosed behind (e.g. using a Straight Mount
LO55-S model), the display will be visible from both
the front and the rear, but with reduced luminance
from the rear and with all images reversed.
Without any content on the Display Glass, the Planar
LookThru display transmits 45% of the ambient light
through it (45% transmissivity) meaning that looking
through the Display Glass will appear like looking
through a slightly tinted window.
Sunlight
The Planar LookThru display cannot be read in direct sunlight and will be damaged by exposure to UV
radiation from either the sun or ambient light sources. Adding a UV coating to protect the display
would also alter the color output, especially in the blue and purple spectrum.
Most building windows provide UV screening (with the UV radiation turned into heat). If the display
must be installed where sunlight can hit it through a window, ensure that the window provides the
necessary UV protection and that the added heat generated by the sunlight does not bring the
ambient temperature of the display installation above 40º C (104ºF).
User-Provided Touch
While the Planar LookThru display line includes touch-enabled models in both the Standard and
Straight Mount designs (LO55-T & LO55-ST), control of the touch interface is up to the user. The infra-
red multi-touch frame supports 32-point simultaneous touch (using Windows or Linux and a Planar
software driver and connected to the computer via USB). The touch models are not intended for tiled
installations as the touch frame encloses the Display Glass.
The touch interface is only functional on the front side of the Display Glass and cannot be used from
the back side.
The touch interface works with Windows, Linux and Macintosh operating systems. Windows and Linux
support 12-point multi-touch without a driver and 32-point multi-touch with a Planar driver.
Macintosh supports only single-touch and does not require a software driver.
Be sure to account for the added heat of a computer when calculating the ambient heat in an
enclosed Planar LookThru display installation.
Content
Since the Planar LookThru display is a new type of platform, the content showcased on the display
requires new types of consideration. A full Content Developer’s Guide is available on www.planar.com
and on the USB drive included with the Planar LookThru display.
Straight Mount Display (LO55-S)

16 Planar LookThru Fabricator’s Guide 020-1315-00A
As a fabricator, it is important to align the installation with the content to deliver the best possible
experience. For example, a content developer wanted to highlight different objects behind the
Display Glass in an exhibit-style installation, the installation would benefit from a low-light interior (i.e.
behind the Display Glass) with adjustable spotlights.
When fabricating for Planar LookThru displays, it should be considered as a part of the overall
environment rather than a separate piece that provides a display in the environment. Content then
becomes not simply an addition, like a poster on a wall, but something to be integrated like a window
in a wall.
Safety Considerations
Structural
The Planar LookThru display is not a structural piece and cannot be used to support any portion of the
installation. The full weight of the display must be supported by the primary and secondary mounting
points on the Display Chassis and Electronics Box.
Glass
The glass on a Planar LookThru display is 2mm thick Corning® Gorilla® Glass covered (on the front side
only) with an anti-reflective coating. As such the glass can withstand normal impacts and scratches as
from being used as a touch interface, but it is not designed nor capable of bearing any loads.
Do not stress the glass or move it out of a 90-degree alignment with the Display Chassis. If the glass is
accidentally moved out of alignment, relieve the pressure on it and all it to move back into its neutral
position as soon as possible.
The rear side of the screen does not have an anti-reflective coating nor protective Corning® Gorilla®
Glass. It should be protected from touches, scratches or impacts.
Thermal
The Planar LookThru display is designed to operate only between 0ºC (32ºF) nor exceed 40ºC (104ºF)
ambient temperature. If lighting, heating, or the Electronics Box of the display will increase the
ambient temperature above 40º, additional cooling measures must be installed to prevent damage to
the display.
When operating within the appropriate temperature range, the Electronics Box requires 0.25-inches
(5mm) of clearance below and 0.5-inches (12mm) above the perforated holes to allow for airflow. Dust
and lint accumulation can restrict the airflow and should be addressed through either cleaning access
(using a vacuum) or air filtration on the installation if vacuuming is not feasible.
