Our new German made Avistec transflective SUNLIGHT LCDs do just this. The stronger the sunlight, the brighter the picture…with normal LCD backlighting. The difference to a standard transmissive LCD in bright sunlight is stunning. And yes, they are designed to withstand long-term 24/7 usage in full-on direct sunlight, thanks to the state-of-the-art UV/IR filtering in the protection glass and our own internal auto-cooling-system (which kicks in, before critical panel temperatures are reached, even if the actual display is turned off, but connected to the mains). What would be the point of a sunlight display you can’t put in direct sunlight?! The units are available from 32” to 52” for indoor or outdoor usage, the outdoor version incorporating full airconditioning. This technology has various advantages over high backlighting: far more energy efficient, general picture quality, less internal component heating= better longetivity, automatic adjustment to ambient lighting levels.

Additionally if you're using LCD, which can work with very bright backlights, look carefully at your warrantee. Some manufacturers will not warrant screens installed in windows as they will overheat in direct sunlight.
