LCD or TFT Panel

Dec 29, 2009 6 Replies

PLEASE HELP!!!!!



I am in the search for an LCD / TFT display with the approximate dimensions of 1 1/2" x 14" long. Just like a computer screen, It will be used to display images only that my company has pre-made and can be exported in any format required. It can be driven by a built-in chip or a USB input at this point. I am ONLY looking for one panel at this time to present to interested investors. After this panel is made, several hundred thousand will be needed in the first two years. The panel does need to have a very minimum (3 mm or less) casing on the bottom portion. If a panel cannot be found with these exact dimensions, something close would work for now in this early stage of development. Any drawings or CAD specs can be delivered with the assumption that you would be able to build something that would fit my needs, with the signing of an NDA of course.



Warm Regards,

This highly unusual aspect ratio would be a custom piece of glass, which will likely cost you in the region of $15k to get a one-off prototype built. Of course you have not specified whether this is monochrome, grayscale or color, whether it is to be backlit, or what the resolution requirement is.

Talk to the guys at Kent in Ohio; maybe a student there in their LCD labs will be interested in your project.

Yes, we can probably build 1 to 1000 prototypes for $10k, and around $5k for design changes.

The thickness requirements of 3mm would make it impossible for back- lighted LCD. However, OLED screen can be made with such requirement.

OLEDs are more expensive per unit, but NRE are roughly the same.

Contact me at linnix at live dot com if interested.

Is that even what he wants? "3mm at the bottom" might mean a 3mm bezel at the bottom.

Yes, that's possible. We also have to figure out where to put the COG controller chip. We certainly won't do anything without reading all the specs.

I get three or four emails like this a week. He wants one unit to show investors, with a 0.01% likelihood that they would want to buy production quantities if the investors bite - but the production would be in China...

That's fine. We can build one for $10k. No problem at all. We can produce anywhere he wants, or not at all.
