The JDIT-K TFT outdoor use display modules range in size from 6.4-inch to 15.6-inch and feature high brightness white LED backlights and high contrast ratios to ensure outdoor readability.

The range of outdoor use TFT display modules are specifically designed to provide robust, durable and reliable display solutions for use in outdoor applications and high ambient light environments. TFT display modules used in outdoor applications need to provide consistently high levels of optical performance in terms of high brightness and high contrast. Brightness specifications on up to 1500cd/m² are supported.

JDIT-K offers an extensive line-up of displays that enable customers to select from multiple display module options according to their preference for screen size, aspect ratio, resolution, data interface and LED backlight driver.

In respect to outdoor-use, JDIT-K's display solutions typically exceed the general requirement for environmental specifications with high-level reliability testing procedures which include continuous long-term operation testing (up to 1000 hours), extended temperature range cycling, thermal shock, mechanical shock, vibration and drop tests, and electro-static discharge testing.

Internal components featuring industrial, wide temperature range specifications enable the outdoor use display modules to support an extended operating temperature range of up to -40°C to +85°C. 

JDIT-K also offer a number of additional value-added features to enhance the usability, reliability and functionality of these outdoor usage display modules. These include:

  • projected capacitive (PCap) touchscreens
  • protective cover glass options
  • enhanced impact resistance to impact protection rating IK10
  • surface coating treatments for anti-glare, anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint
  • optical bonding with optically clear adhesive (OCA) or optically clear resin (OCR)
  • monitor enclosures for specific industry requirement or custom projects

JDIT-K is also committed to ensuring long-term product availability, with continuity of supply essential for many industrial systems and equipment. The latest JDIT-K outdoor use display modules can be sourced and supplied for a minimum of 5 years.

Typical outdoor applications include EV charging stations, ticketing systems, parking meters, portable devices, information kiosks, rugged tablets, marines, agriculture and construction equipment.

The new range of outdoor usage TFT display modules are now available from JDIT-K's sales channel distribution partners.
