Why Are Industrial TFT LCD Displays More Expensive Than Regular Displays?

Industrial TFT LCD screens are mainly used in industrial scenarios. They are better than ordinary TFT LCD screens in terms of reliability, lifespan, and ruggedness. Therefore, the price of industrial TFT LCD screens is higher than that of ordinary ones. Many people wonder why industrial TFT LCD screens are more expensive than ordinary displays. What are the main differences in price? Today, we will analyze why the price of industrial TFT LCD screens is higher than that of ordinary displays.

Carefully selected materials for industrial TFT LCD screens

Industrial TFT displays have to cope with different harsh environments, so the selection of materials is very meticulous and based on the different needs of different industries. For example, high-brightness screens will select high-quality LED lights and design backlight according to actual brightness. Temperature-resistant screens will choose materials suitable for a wide range of temperatures. For screens that require dust and water resistance, high-waterproof adhesive is chosen for bonding. Every aspect needs to be thoughtfully designed so that the final industrial TFT LCD screen can meet industry characteristics and perform the best. Therefore, the cost of materials will be higher than that of ordinary displays.

High reliability performance of industrial TFT LCD displays

Industrial TFT LCD screens require much higher performance than ordinary displays. Therefore, great effort is required in material selection, production, and testing. For example, industrial TFT LCD screens require a series of tests such as high/low temperature tests, aging tests, salt spray tests, vibration tests, and drop tests, which are necessary to ensure that the product has high reliability performance. Therefore, the price will be higher than that of ordinary displays. Rather than saying that industrial TFT LCD screens are more expensive than ordinary displays, it is better to consider them as two different categories of products. The display industry is also a segmented market. Each company should focus on their own expertise, provide qualified and valuable products for various industries that need displays.

Excellent usage characteristics of industrial TFT LCD displays

Industrial TFT LCD screens have many advantages, such as low voltage applications, low driving voltage, solid-state usage, and improved safety and reliability. They are flat and thin, which saves a lot of raw materials and space. They have low power consumption, around one-tenth of a CRT display and even less than 1% for reflective TFT-LCD, saving a lot of energy. Industrial TFT displays are also standardized, with various sizes and models, which make them easy to use, maintain, update and upgrade, and have a long lifespan.

They cover a wide range of displays from 1 inch to 40 inches, as well as projection screens, and are full-size display terminals. They have various video displays, ranging from the simplest monochrome character graphics to high-resolution, high-color fidelity, high-brightness, high-contrast, and high-response-speed monitors. They are available in direct-view, projection, and perspective types, as well as reflective TFT displays.
