The story
In Italian industrial panorama, Fenice is the leading factory in the field of professional monitors and of monitors for video information.
Fenice was born in the 80s when the market of industrial automation was growing more and more, and it followed all the technological steps of monitor evolution from the very beginning. Cathode ray tube introduction was a true revolution, even if it was monochrome, and next passage to colour was an unimaginable goal. It was the time in which electronics was becoming an integral and essential part of every process, it was the time in which CGA standard was about to be surpassed by EGA. This one had a very short life, even if several manufacturers of automatic machines copied it and generated many under standards which were difficult to classify. In this unpredictable panorama was born the VGA, the first true standard to which everybody made reference.
It seemed like all was established, monitors were refined, made smaller and equipped with digital systems so to improve image control and quality: researches seemed to go in this direction. But... a new system was showing itself in the world and shyly apologized for having been chosen in place of CRTs. It was the LCD, a little technological concentrate which little by little played the role of the lion and supplanted completely a milestone of electronic history.
Fenice embraced this technology and briefly adjusted its research & develop department and productive one. We switched from 30.000 volts of the kinescope to 3.3 volts of the video processor, from components with the dimensions of a pack of cigarettes to components large as a pen point.
The passage to LCD hasn't cancelled the previous history, which keep living, both in terms of acquired knowledge and in terms of assistance for a product which still has many installations.
Today Fenice can supply CRT and LCD monitors in whatever configuration, both standard and non standard. Our efforts are orientated torwards the future, towards LED panels and oLED, which will characterize the fourth revolution in this field.
