UV resistance is an important consideration in LCD design for outdoor and sunlight-exposed applications.

Long-term UV exposure can affect multiple materials within a display module, including polarizers, optical adhesives, backlight films, surface coatings, and polymer-based protective components. These changes may lead to yellowing, color shifts, reduced light transmission, and bonding degradation.

Technical requirements rarely stop at the LCD itself. A custom display may require specific brightness, interface, touch, cover glass, optical bonding, FPC, operating temperature, and mechanical integration.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is one possible cause of touch instability, but similar symptoms can result from other electrical or configuration issues. Identifying the actual cause requires testing the touchscreen in the context of the complete industrial system.

Marine displays must maintain clear visibility and reliable touch operation under sunlight, humidity, salt spray, vibration, and changing temperatures. This guide explains the key display, touch, and environmental requirements for marine control systems.

A custom display project does not go directly from an RFQ to production. The manufacturer first needs to determine whether an existing solution can meet the requirements, whether customization is necessary, and whether the resulting design can be validated and manufactured consistently.

Multi-touch can be implemented using different touchscreen technologies. This article focuses on projected capacitive touchscreens (PCAP) and explains what determines their touch-point capability, including sensor design, Touch IC, firmware, cover glass, and operating conditions.

An In-Cell display integrates touch-sensing functionality into the display cell instead of using a separate touch-sensing panel. This changes the architecture of the display module and allows display and touch functions to be integrated more closely. But In-Cell should not be treated as a standalone performance specification. The final result depends on the interaction between the display cell, touch-sensing structure, touch controller, cover glass, optical stack, FPC, interfaces, mechanical design, and operating environment.

When selecting an IP-rated display, it is easy to assume that a higher number always means better protection. In practice, IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K address different types of exposure to water, and one rating does not automatically replace another.
This guide explains the differences between IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K, including what each rating is tested for, where it is typically used, and what an IP rating does—and does not—tell you about an industrial display.

To address these challenges, manufacturers apply different cover glass surface treatments. Among the most common are AR (Anti-Reflective), AG (Anti-Glare), and AF (Anti-Fingerprint). Although these treatments are often mentioned together, they solve different problems and are based on different manufacturing technologies. In many industrial applications, they are combined to achieve the best overall optical performance.
