Data-Ray Announces the World's First Natural Flat CRT Monitor for PACS - Picture Archive and Communication Systems.WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 1999-- Data-Ray Corporation has introduced the DR96 Digital monitor, the world's first natural flat monitor for PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. (Picture Archive and Communication Systems). With its completely flat CRT A TV picture tube (CRT) that has a flatter viewing surface than the traditional rounder tube. Up to 30% more glass is used to make the screen flatter. Also known as a "flat screen," "flat face CRT" or "flat square tube (FST)", the flat CRT provides less distortion at the edges and is the , the DR96 is designed to replicate the look of a traditional light box, while eliminating the distortion typically associated with a classic curved CRT screen Noun 1. CRT screen - the display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube screen screen background, desktop, background - (computer science) the area of the screen in graphical user interfaces against which icons . Designed to meet or exceed the rigorous demands of medical imaging, the monitor delivers an Ultra-bright 150 Foot Lamberts (514 cd/m2). "This is a product that the market has been calling for for a long time -- a high-performance, 2 megapixel monitor with a perfectly flat screen. We're very proud to introduce the world's first perfectly flat CRT monitor for PACS," says Joe Lloyd Joseph "Joe" Lloyd (1864-?) was an English professional golfer who won the third U.S. Open Championship at the Chicago Golf Club in 1897. Lloyd grew up playing at Hoylake. , Director of Sales and Marketing for Data-Ray. "Based on feedback from the PACS market, we expect the DR96 to fill a growing need." Data-Ray's digitally controlled DR96 monitor employs automatic luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. stability circuitry, which continually compensates for beam current degradation. This provides consistency among monitors, and ensures brightness levels remain stable over time. With a wide Auto-Locking Synch range of 30 KHz - 127 KHz, the DR96 is compatible with nearly any graphic controller in that range. Jointly developed with Totoku Corporation, Tokyo, Japan, the DR96 was shown for the first time at the Radiological Society of North America The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), founded in 1915, has the purpose to "promote and develop the highest standards of radiology and related sciences through education and research". show in Chicago, November 28-December 2. Shipments are scheduled to begin in January 2000. Based in Westminster, Colorado, Data-Ray Corporation designs, manufactures, and distributes a wide variety of high-performance monitors for medical, industrial, and scientific imaging applications.
