vances in the general consumer market. Flat screen displays—of all sizes—are available at very low costs. That said, a variety of display breakthroughs have emerged that serve the special harsh environment needs of military field applications. One example is Dontech’s Optical Fine Wire (OFW) and Micro EMI-Mesh (MEM100) conductive opti-

cal grids that provide optical EMI/RFI shielding of electronic displays, instrumentation and enclosures. The OFW mesh is constructed of woven and conductively plated fine-wire stainless steel and copper; the MEM100 series is made of etched and blackened copper. The OFW and MEM100 conductive optical grids combine excellent shielding

effectiveness with optical performance, making them particularly well suited for electronic displays and optics applications, including military. It meets that need for military systems that require the attenuation of radiated EMI/RFI emissions and susceptibility per MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464. Dontech’s grid counts typically range from 50 to 255 openings per inch (opi). Standard unplated wire width/ diameter for most mesh counts is 0.0011 inches, 0.0022 inches for woven and 0.0005 inches for etched mesh. The OFW and MEM100 conductive optical grids are typically embedded in glass or plastic substrates such as acrylic, polycarbonate or polyester (PET) or triacetate (TAC). Dontech woven fine wire mesh is available unplated, blackened, or silver plated and conductively blackened. Dontech Doylestown, PA. (215) 348-5010. [www.dontech.com]. RGB Spectrum Alameda, CA.
