Rare original Apple Flat Panel Display made for the Apple IIc personal computer, Model No. A2M4022, Part No. L4C2878, with FCC ID BCG63WA2M4022. The panel display, 11.25˝ x 5.25˝ x 1.5˝, features a 9.75˝ black-and-white (1-bit) LCD screen, with a back ribbon cable and port connector. Includes its original Apple box and packing material, with owner’s manual, packing list, warranty, and Apple comment card. The panel is in fine functioning condition, with diagonal lines to the plastic LCD screen cover, and the display itself is quite dim when turned on; its original box bears varying degrees of wear, including small tears and light staining.
‘The history of Apple LCDs started in 1984 when the Apple Flat Panel Display was introduced for the Apple IIc computer, principally to enhance the IIc's portability. This monochrome display was capable of 80 columns by 24 lines, as well as double hi-res graphics, but had an odd aspect ratio (making images look vertically squished) and required a very strong external light source, such as a desk lamp or direct sunlight to be used. Even then it had a very poor contrast overall and was quite expensive ($600), contributing to its poor sales and consequently, its dropping from the market not long after its introduction. An estimated 10,000 IIc LCD displays were produced.’
