Overview
Custom display assemblies from 0.96" to 15" diagonal across TFT LCD, OLED, monochrome character/graphic, PMVA, FS-PMVA, FFSTN, FSTN, STN, transflective, reflective, and bi-stable e-ink technologies. Sunlight-readable LCDs up to 950 nits standard and 1500+ nits in custom cockpit builds, NVIS-compatible filtering, and Heilmeier-effect dichroic panels for aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial applications. In-house optical bonding (LOCA), COB / COG / COF / TAB / SMT bonding, and capacitive (CTP) and resistive (RTP) touch on AS9100D-certified manufacturing for mission-critical environments. Standard product families include character modules (8x1–40x4, PC-XXXXXX series), graphic modules (122x32–320x240, PG-XXXXXX), TFT modules (0.96"–15", PT/PTI-XXXXXX), and E-Ink (1.54"–8.14").
