TFT Displays for Instrumentation & Industrial Applications
Our TFT display modules are designed for precision visualisation in measurement, monitoring, and control systems. Options include IPS/SFT wide viewing, high brightness, extended temperature operation, and cleanroom optical bonding for ruggedisation.
Size ranges & applications:
-
3″–10.1″ — Compact TFTs for handheld and portable test equipment
-
12.1″–15.6″ — Mid-size displays for automation panels and industrial control systems
-
18.5″–24″ — Large-format TFTs for laboratory instrumentation and factory automation
-
Special formats — Bar-type or customised TFTs for unique integrations
Key features across the range:
-
Long lifecycle and stable supply chains
-
High brightness (up to 2000 cd/m²) for daylight readability
-
IPS/SFT wide viewing angles and high contrast ratios
-
Ruggedised options for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes (−30 °C to +85 °C)
-
VacuBond® optical bonding and touch integration options (PCAP/resistive)
-
Optional AR/AG coatings, strengthened cover glass, and EMI shielding
Ruggedisation & Optical Bonding (VacuBond®)
Instrumentation requires clarity under all conditions. VacuBond® optical bonding removes internal air gaps, enhancing sunlight readability, increasing impact resistance, and preventing condensation.
