If the display is divided by the use of industry, it can be divided into industrialLCD displayand consumer display two categories. Although both are used for display, the requirements of industrial LCD displays are higher than consumer ones, which we can understand from the following aspects.
stability
Compared with our cell phones, computers, televisions and other consumer displays, industrial LCD displays are much harsher. An exaggeration is: industrial LCD display is like living in the desert of a grass, while consumer display is growing in the rain, sunshine suitable for fertile soil in a flower. First of all, industrial LCD display is almost 365 days a year uninterrupted power work. Secondly, according to the use of different environments, the requirements of industrial LCD display has different characteristics. Such as higher stability, anti-interference, vibration, shock, and temperature changes and so on. Applied in the 5G base station room LCD display, it needs to monitor the operation of the system 24 hours a day. If the LCD display we use is unstable and can't work properly in a harsh environment, it will affect the operation of the whole network system. So, it is incomparable to consumer displays.
Sunlight readability
Good visibility is a major feature of industrial LCD display, applied to industrial LCD liquid crystal screen, the vast majority of cases are surrounded by strong light, such as strong sunlight on a sunny day. Outdoor operation of the LCD display needs to work for a long time under direct sunlight, which requires our display must have the performance of readable under strong light. Many of Topmicro's products have this feature, such as our 7" TFT LCD charging pile display. Applied in outdoor, it is also readable under strong direct sunlight. Widely favored by new energy charging pile customers.
customizable
Consumer LCD displays are standard, like when you go to buy Huawei's latest phone and think the screen is too big and you want a smaller one. At this time you can not ask the manufacturer to give you a customized configuration is exactly the same, the display screen is small, but choose to buy a model closest to what you want. Industrial LCD display screen is different, in the conditions allow, the manufacturer can be customized according to customer needs. For example, you want to open a full viewing angle on the basis of standard products, wide temperature, with touch screen products, we can help you realize, of course, the mold fee may be a little higher. This is one of the reasons why the price of industrial LCD display is higher than consumer LCD display. ICP DAS has many customized products, where you can always find a suitable LCD display solution for yourself.
Rigorous selection of materials (high-quality raw materials)
Another advantage of the industrial LCD display is that, in the whole product, we use industrial-grade, high-quality raw materials, because only with high-quality components designed and produced LCD display products, to be able to pass a variety of stringent tests: anti-static (ESD) and electromagnetic (EMI) interference, aging test, high and low temperature test, etc., so that the whole machine has a high- and low-temperature resistance, interference resistance, and Withstand extreme impact. Usually, the raw materials used in consumer display products belong to mid-range materials. All the LCD display products of ICP DAS have passed strict tests before being delivered to customers, and the quality of our products is widely recognized, so you can rest assured about ICP DAS products.
lead time
Industrial LCD display and consumer display are also very different in the supply cycle. For industrial LCD display, under the normal supply of IC, glass and other materials, the supply cycle of industrial LCD display is relatively long, usually about 10 years. Unless there is a total shutdown of the specified materials, but we also have an upgrade program. Only a slight modification of the customer's equipment, or even no change at all can be applied. So customers do not need to worry about the industrial LCD display discontinued supply led to equipment scrapping. Consumer displays are different, such as cell phones, they are updated very quickly. I do not know if you have this feeling: just changed a brand new cell phone, but not used to half a year, the overwhelming new conference will start again, and then after two or three years, you use the model may have been discontinued. Therefore, the life cycle of consumer displays is much shorter than that of industrial LCD displays.
prices
Price is a matter of great concern to everyone. Synthesize the above points, we can easily see that the industrial LCD display price is higher than the consumer display. Every penny counts, industrial LCD display not only has a good configuration, but also more good after-sales service. For example, you buy a computer, the warranty period is generally in the period of 6 to 12 months, but also need to buy the insurance period, more than this time problems repair are required to pay the maintenance fee is higher, but for the industrial type of display, the warranty period is usually at least 1 year, and the longest even 3 years. If it is a supplier problem, you can also replace the display with a new one. Therefore, although the price of industrial LCD display is high, but the after-sales service are very in place, cost-effective.
