Bezels

Jan 04, 2021 4 Replies

I'm designing a project with a small LCD on the panel. Where can I go to find a matching bezel? There's gotta be an Amce Bezel Co. out there.



(Size yet TBD, may well be find bezel first, then choose display...)

We usually buy a polycarb sticker that paves over our entire front panel, and includes a clear window for the LCD and little frosty circles to let discrete LEDs shine through. But the setup costs for that make it impractical for small volumes.

John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc The best designs are necessarily accidental.

FWIW, Elecraft opts to protect their LCD panel with a simple, custom- fit, rectangular, rounded corner, thin Plexiglas cover held in place by four screws:

Danke,

Don, KB7RPU There was a young lady named Bright Whose speed was far faster than light; She set out one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night.

That, however, brings up another possibility.

A polymer (I want to say "vinyl" but there's more than just that out there!) face plate, possibly laser or ink jet printed on the back side, with the legends for the unit. Then glued into place with some glue.

Plexi would do it also. (For that maybe front print clear vinyl for the label, and a plexi overlay?)

Just tossing ideas out there; only David Lesher can say what will work or not for this item.

Digikey has a lot of bezels. Like light pipes and knobs and spacers and such, very expensive.
