Why is open frame LCD screens popular in Industrial equipment?
May 30, 2025
Walking into modern factory workshops, automated production lines, or professional medical and traffic control rooms, many equipment displays commonly have plastic or metal shells, and the screens seem to be directly "grown" on the machines. As is well known, the industrial control industry has strict requirements for display cores, and open frame LCD screens break free from the limitations of traditional metal shells and are diverse and flexible.
Industrial environments often mean challenges: dust, oil stains, temperature fluctuations, prolonged uninterrupted operation... Traditional shell displays sometimes appear bulky and poorly cooled. The advantages of open frame LCD screens are highlighted at this moment. Its streamlined structure makes it easier to design the overall cooling air duct of the equipment, avoiding the accumulation of internal heat that affects performance and lifespan. At the same time, engineers can customize protective glass or front cover for the screen during installation according to the specific protection level requirements of the equipment, achieving IP65 or even higher dust and water resistance. This flexibility is unmatched by pre packaged displays.
For embedded devices that are extremely valuable in space, such as portable detection instruments, handheld terminals, and small control panels, open frame LCD screens save enormous space value. It allows devices to be made more compact and lightweight. In addition, industrial equipment often requires specific interfaces (such as LVDS, eDP) and long-life backlighting (such as industrial grade LEDs). Open design allows us as a factory to more accurately meet these customized needs, directly integrating the driving solutions and backlight modules required by customers to ensure stable signal transmission and long-lasting brightness.
