10.4 inch Smart Bar Type UART TFT LCD Display Launched

Adding to our SMART Range - a brand new stretched model 10.4 inch Smart Bar

We are excited to introduce our latest addition to our Smart UART Display range from DWIN — the DMG16720C104_05WTC, a 10.4” bar-style TFT LCD that brings together cutting-edge IPS technology, robust touch capability, and intelligent serial communication in one sleek, compact package.

Whether you’re developing next-gen industrial automation interfaces, public information displays, vending systems, or any other embedded control platform, this 10.4 inch Smart Bar display is purpose-built to meet the demands of modern, high-performance applications.

A Display That Delivers — Crisp, Bright, and Versatile

At the core of this new 10.4 inch Smart Bar offering is a 10.4-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels arranged in a bar-style format. This unusual aspect ratio makes it ideal for space-constrained applications or designs that require non-standard display proportions.

The display is based on IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology, delivering ultra-wide viewing angles of 85° from all directions, ensuring vibrant image quality and colour consistency regardless of orientation. Thanks to a 350-nit brightness level, the display maintains excellent visibility in a wide range of indoor lighting environments — a crucial advantage for retail, medical, or industrial interfaces.

Built for Touch — And Built to Last

What truly enhances this 10.4” bar-style TFT LCD’s interactivity is the glass/glass capacitive touch panel, which boasts a ≥6H hardness rating. This high-durability cover lens not only provides a premium tactile experience but also safeguards the display from rough usage, scratches, and other environmental wear and tear — perfect for public-facing or high-use applications.

The touch interface is engineered for responsiveness, allowing smooth and accurate user interaction, whether in portrait or landscape mode. Speaking of orientation — the display performs equally well in both, without any degradation in image quality.

Smart Inside — Powered by DWIN’s T5L2 Processor

As with all of DWIN’s intelligent displays, the DMG16720C104_05WTC is not just a screen — it’s a self-contained smart interface solution, powered by DWIN’s proprietary T5L2 dual-core ASIC. Based on the time-tested Intel 8051 architecture, the T5L2 offers a stable and efficient platform for embedded GUI development.

With 32MB of onboard NOR Flash memory (expandable to 64MB), the display can store your entire user interface including graphics, fonts, icons, and even multimedia files such as audio and video clips. Better still, the memory supports up to 100,000 write/erase cycles, enabling frequent firmware and UI updates as your product evolves — without the need to replace the hardware.

Simple Integration with Your System

The DMG16720C104_05WTC is designed for seamless integration into your application via standard UART serial communication. It features two UART interfaces supporting TTL/CMOS or RS232 levels, making it easy to interface with most microcontrollers or embedded platforms using standard TX/RX pins.

This removes the need for complex video drivers or dedicated graphics processors in your system. Instead, the display becomes a plug-and-play extension of your embedded environment, capable of handling all the visual and touch interface tasks independently.

Additionally, the display includes a Super-Capacitor Real Time Clock (RTC) with ±20ppm accuracy, which retains timekeeping and critical settings for up to 7 days without power — a thoughtful inclusion for any system where consistent time tracking is essential.

Developer-Friendly UI Creation with DGUS

One of the standout features of DWIN’s display ecosystem is the DGUS development platform. Designed to simplify the UI creation process, DGUS Studio enables you to build responsive, professional-grade graphical user interfaces without requiring advanced coding skills.

Using a drag-and-drop visual editor, developers can quickly import images, assign functions to touch areas, configure transitions, and add multimedia elements. With DGUS, what once took months can now be completed in days — dramatically shortening your development cycle and lowering total project cost.

Power-Efficient and Ready for the Road

With a wide input voltage range of 12V to 36V and a maximum power consumption under 10W, the DMG16720C104_05WTC is well-suited for a wide variety of power environments, including those in automotive, rail, and mobile systems. Its compact form factor — measuring just 270 x 125 x 16.7mm — ensures it fits neatly into tight spaces, making it ideal for embedded enclosures or retrofit projects.

Why Choose the 10.4 inch Smart Bar?

In a world where sleek design, robust functionality, and ease of development are paramount, this 10.4” smart UART display stands out for its:

✅ Innovative form factor ideal for modern user interface design

✅ Rugged capacitive touchscreen with high durability

✅ Intelligent processing and memory onboard

✅ Simple serial integration — no complex drivers or GPU required

✅ Developer-friendly tools with DGUS Studio
