Main Applications
Embedded Development and Maker Projects
Compatible with mainstream development boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and STM32. Used for creating portable meters, small game consoles, temperature and humidity monitoring terminals. The SPI/MCU interface saves IO resources and reduces development difficulty.
Handheld and Consumer Electronics
Often used in POS machines, handheld barcode scanners, smart home control panels (air conditioners, vacuum cleaners), electric bicycle meters. The 3.5-inch size is portable, and the 320×480 resolution clearly displays text, icons, and simple graphics.
Industrial and Medical Equipment
In industrial HMI, small PLC human-machine interfaces, portable diagnostic instruments, blood oxygen meters. Wide temperature characteristics and stable display capabilities adapt to complex working conditions. Anti-interference design ensures real-time and accurate data display.
Automotive and IoT Terminals
Suitable for vehicle tire pressure monitoring, secondary screens of driving recorders, local display panels of IoT gateways. Thin and low-power characteristics meet automotive and portable device design requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
I want the LCD display 8 digits and the outline size is 65x30x2.8mm?
No problem. Firstly, please kindly send us your specification/drawing paper. If you have not the specification, you can also provide your samples; we will recommend the suitable one if it is standard products. Or we can customize for you based on your own requirement.
This LCD is just what we want, but it is big size, do you have any smaller size? And the display content need to be changed a little.
For the segment type LCD module, if you need modify the outline size or display content, a new LCD glass module is need. We have to open new tooling for you.
This LCD display is HTN type, but I want STN type, can you make?
That's all right. We can change for you as per you request.
I want customize a new LCD module. Can you do?
Yes, we can. Please send your drawing paper. If you have not, please advise me the outline size of the LCD display, display information (Glass thickness, Polarizer, Display Type, Connector mode, Storage Temp. Operating Temp. Supply Voltage, Viewing direction, drive condition), we can customize for you.
What is leading time for tooling?
General speaking, it will cost 15 to 25 days after drawing paper confirmation and tooling charge payment, we can report you the exact time when you confirm the drawing paper.
Can you send us samples for checking?
Yes. Samples order is available.
What is the Leading Time?
If we have stock for the standard ones, the leading time is one day after payment. If it is the mass production for special ones, the leading time is about 15-30 days. Suppose we can finish earlier, we will report the information in advanced.
