What Are Custom Touchscreen Displays?

Custom touchscreen displays are interactive screens tailored for specific applications, offering unique sizes, touch technologies, and durability enhancements. These solutions integrate capacitive or resistive touch with high-brightness LCDs and rugged designs, making them suitable for industries like healthcare, automotive, and consumer electronics. Gesight specializes in delivering OEM/ODM options using panels from BOE, AUO, and LG.

What Makes Custom Touchscreen Displays Essential?

Custom touchscreen displays offer precision and performance not found in off-the-shelf models. They are crucial in sectors requiring specialized durability, hygiene, and sunlight readability. In healthcare, these displays support surgical monitors with antimicrobial coatings. Automotive dashboards need high clarity and wide temperature ranges, while consumer electronics demand sleek, responsive interfaces. Gesight excels in providing these solutions, offering up to 3000 nits brightness and flexible interfaces such as MIPI and HDMI.

Which Touch Technologies Are Best for Custom Displays?

For custom touchscreen displays, capacitive touch excels in consumer applications due to its multi-touch capability, while resistive touch is ideal for environments where users wear gloves or use a stylus. Projected capacitive (PCAP) touch supports fast response and multi-touch, perfect for automotive infotainment systems. Infrared touch is used in medical devices for reliable performance in wet conditions. Gesight offers both options and integrates them with high-quality TFT, IPS, and OLED panels to ensure vibrant visuals and seamless user experiences.

How Do You Choose the Right Custom Touchscreen Size?

Selecting the right touchscreen size depends on factors such as space constraints, user interaction distance, and application needs. For example, automotive displays are typically between 10-15 inches, while medical carts may require 21-32 inch screens. Prototyping ensures the display fits the intended use. Smaller displays, like 7-10 inches, are best for portable gadgets, while larger displays, such as those over 24 inches, are perfect for industrial applications. Gesight offers full customization, including 4K resolutions and compatibility with leading panel makers like Sharp and Tianma.

What Are the Benefits of OEM/ODM Custom Solutions?

OEM/ODM solutions offer cost-effective scalability, rapid prototyping, and full customization to meet specific requirements. OEM solutions use stock panels for quick turnarounds, while ODM offers complete engineering to create unique specifications such as optical bonding. Gesight, a leader in the field, sources premium panels from JDI and HannStar and integrates additional touch overlays for enhanced durability. The process also includes EMI/EMC certification, ensuring reliable and compliant solutions for industries worldwide. OEM/ODM custom solutions help reduce time-to-market by up to 50%.

Why Are High-Brightness Displays Critical in Automotive?

High-brightness displays (1000-3000 nits) ensure readability in sunlight, which standard 300-nit displays cannot provide. This is particularly important for automotive dashboards, where clarity is essential. To meet automotive standards like AEC-Q100, custom displays must be resistant to vibration and thermal shock. Gesight offers displays with up to 3000 nits brightness, essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These displays also feature custom dimming to prevent glare at night, enhancing driver safety by reducing distractions.
