Display lifetime availability – making the right choice for your application
In an industrial display’s lifecycle, navigating ‘end of life’ situations is essential. BVM’s materials management services include EOL notifications, last-time purchasing guidance, and support for transitioning to newer products. BVM ensures that display products are chosen with strong forward compatibility, maintaining consistent dimensions and connector placements.
Controllers – Lighting and Touch
The majority of TFT solutions have pre-integrated integrated LED backlight drivers allowing for easier integration. However, where certain markets require a little more control and reliability, BVM can supply and integrate separate LED backlight drivers where they’re needed.
Embedded
BVM specializes in embedded PC solutions across various form factors and performance levels.
Alongside display integration services, BVM customizes BIOS, designs peripheral cabling (like LVDS and backlight), and develops tailored operating systems for both attended and unattended applications. Additionally, BVM creates custom baseboards for SOM/COM CPU modules, as well as power supplies and cooling solutions for efficient thermal management.
Touch Screen Technologies in Modern Human-Machine Interfaces
Touchscreen technology is no longer a luxury but a necessity in the realm of industrial interfaces.
Below, we’ll explore the pivotal touch technologies utilized in human-machine interaction.
Projected Capacitive Touch (PCAP/PCT)
- High Sensitivity: PCAP technology detects touch through a protective layer, ensuring durability.
- Multi-Touch Capability: Supports gestures like pinching and swiping, allowing for intuitive user interactions.
- Transparency: Offers crystal-clear displays due to high light transmittance, enhancing the visual experience.
Resistive Touch Technology
- Pressure Sensitivity: Responds to any form of touch, regardless of the material type.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable; thus, widely used in a variety of applications.
- Versatility: Well-suited for environments where users wear gloves or other protections.
Display Enhancements
Enhancing display units not only involves the selection of the right touch technology but also implementing enhancements like optical bonding.
Optical Bonding
- Improved Readability: By filling the gap between the display and touch panel with a clear adhesive, optical bonding reduces light refraction, which improves visibility even in bright conditions.
- Durability: It provides added sturdiness to the touch display, protecting against dust, moisture, and impact.
- Touch Sensitivity: Enhances the responsiveness of the touch interface, offering a smoother user experience.
In industry settings, where dealing with harsh conditions is common, these technologies and enhancements ensure that devices can withstand
the rigors of their environment while maintaining high-performance levels.
Customisation, Performance and Reliability
Here’s a Selection of our Touch Screen Integration and Display Enhancement Services.
- Extensive range of industrial TFT panels from 4.3″ to 65″
- Wide selection of touchscreen monitors from 7″ to 24″
- Support for x86 or ARM embedded motherboards, including OS porting and deployment
- Integration of resistive, capacitive, and projected capacitive touch technologies, with bonded protective cover glass
- Custom tail positioning to suit mechanical and electrical layouts
- Application of anti-reflective and anti-glare coatings for improved visibility
- Custom pressed or CNC-machined housings and bezels for tailored enclosures
