What is the difference between finished and semi-finished touch screens?

As the core interactive component of electronic devices, touch screens have long been applied to various aspects of life, from smart homes to public applications, bringing convenience to touch screens. But for many first-time buyers, the concepts of "finished products" and "semi-finished products" can be confusing. As a source factory specializing in touch screens research and production, we hope to clarify your thoughts in the simplest language through this article.
 

1. What is a touch screen product?
A finished touch screen refers to a complete module that is "plug and play", usually including complete structural layers (such as cover glass, touch sensors), driver chips, bonded display panels (such as LCD screens), and firmware programs for debugging. After receiving it, users do not need secondary processing and can directly integrate it into the overall equipment. For example, the touch screens component removed from a smartphone is a typical finished product.
 

2. What is a semi-finished touch screens product?
Semi finished products usually refer to intermediate forms that have not been fully assembled or debugged. For example:
Unfolded semi-finished products: Only touch sensors or cover glass, customers need to attach the display screen according to their needs.
Unprocessed module: Hardware assembly completed, but driver program not written, suitable for customers who need custom touch logic.
Open structure design: Reserved interface or size adjustment space for customers to carry out personalized modifications.
 

How to choose? The key is to meet the requirements!
The finished product is suitable for enterprises that hope to quickly start production and have no technical debugging team, such as smart home brand manufacturers.
 

Semi finished products are suitable for customers with customized needs or independent production capabilities, such as industrial equipment manufacturers who may need to re package touch screens with waterproof casings.
