What is a Round TFT Panel?
A Round TFT (Thin Film Transistor) Panel refers to a display screen that has a circular shape, distinguishing it from traditional rectangular or square displays. TFT technology is commonly used in various electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, and monitors, to produce high-quality, vibrant images. The use of TFT technology in a round configuration introduces a unique design element that can be particularly advantageous in specific applications.
IPS Technology
These IPS technology displays have wide viewing angles so can be viewed from all directions without the loss of image quality, they offer good levels of brightness and contrast ratios so could be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. High resolutions are packed into relatively small footprints allowing for the creation of dynamic, vibrant eye-catching graphical user interfaces.
Round displays are now a standard product within our display portfolio so can be designed into your product without fear of only a short-term availability, more models and sizes are currently under development. Current applications include digital versions of old analogue dials in industrial instrumentation, household appliances, marine and auto/aero instrumentation, plus temperature controls for our heating systems to name just a few.
Choosing a round display could really set your product apart from your competition, no longer is it necessary to use a circular bezel over a 4:3 aspect ratio display to create the perfectly round image your product needs. Round displays are now a standard product within our display portfolio and are here to stay. Applications include household kitchen appliances and temperature controls for our heating systems to name just two, but more are on the way as product designers start to take full advantage of the modern look and high specifications.
