Bar type displays provide an alternative when conventional display formats do not match the mechanical or interface requirements of a product. Their elongated form factor can be useful for industrial equipment, transportation systems, automotive interfaces, kiosks, and other specialized applications.
The key to selecting a bar-type display is to evaluate the complete system rather than focusing only on aspect ratio or diagonal size. Mechanical dimensions, active area, resolution, interface, touch, optical structure, and environmental requirements should be defined together.
