Wide Temperature SMART UART Displays Built for Extreme Environments
The SMART UART Wide Temp Display that could be your saviour
When designing for industrial, outdoor, transport or mobile applications, temperature is often the first failure point.
Freezing winters. Overheated enclosures. Direct sunlight. Engine vibration.
Standard displays simply aren’t designed to cope.
That’s why Crystal Display Systems offers wide temperature SMART UART displays engineered specifically for extreme operating environments — combining high brightness, industrial durability, and optional touchscreen flexibility in one integrated solution.
Two standout options in the range are the 7.0” WVGA and 10.1” WXGA SMART UART displays from our trusted partner DWIN — both operating from -40°C to +85°C.
Designed for Wide Temperature Reliability
Both the 7.0” and 10.1” models are built for harsh deployment environments where performance cannot drift with temperature change.
Key environmental strengths include:
Extended operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C
50,000-hour LED backlight lifespan
Conformal coating for added environmental protection
UV resistance (10.1” model)
High brightness 1000 nit panels for sunlight readability
IPS technology with 85° wide viewing angles
Whether installed in outdoor kiosks, industrial control panels, transport systems, or mobile machinery, these displays maintain clarity and responsiveness across extreme temperature shifts.
Optional Touchscreen Flexibility
Wide temperature performance is only part of the story — usability matters just as much.
The SMART UART range offers touchscreen options to suit different industrial needs:
7.0” Model
Resistive touch with anti-glare coating
Ideal for stylus or gloved hand operation
10.1” Model
PCAP (Projected Capacitive Touch) with rugged ≥6H anti-glare cover lens
Resistive touch option available
Designed for industrial durability and reliable touch accuracy
This flexibility allows engineers to select the most appropriate touch technology for their application — whether that’s glove operation in cold conditions or rugged PCAP in demanding industrial settings.
Smart Processing, Simple Integration
Both displays are powered by DWIN’s dual-core T5L processors (T5L1 for 7.0”, T5L2 for 10.1”), built on Intel’s proven 8051 architecture.
Each includes:
32MB NOR Flash memory (expandable to 64MB)
100,000 write/erase cycles
Full UI storage including graphics, fonts, audio and video
Battery-backed RTC (±20ppm accuracy)
Because these are SMART UART displays, integration is refreshingly straightforward.
Communication is handled via:
UART serial interface
RS232
RS485
CAN Bus (7.0” model)
Optional WiFi module
There’s no need for a separate graphics processor or complex driver development — reducing system cost, development time, and engineering complexity.
Developer-Friendly with DGUS Studio
Time-to-market is critical.
DWIN’s DGUS Studio platform enables rapid UI development using a visual editor, allowing teams to:
Drag-and-drop UI elements
Map touch areas easily
Integrate multimedia
Create animations and transitions
What traditionally required months of embedded coding can now be accomplished in days — without compromising performance.
Built for Mobile & Industrial Power Environments
These displays are also designed for real-world power conditions:
7.0” model: 7V–36V input range, sub-6W consumption
10.1” model: 12V–36V input range, sub-15W consumption
From factory automation to vehicular installations, both units are built to operate reliably across fluctuating supply conditions.
