Strip LCD screens have become a critical component in industrial, military, marine, and outdoor applications where high brightness and visibility under direct sunlight are essential. These specialized displays, ranging from 14.1 inches to 86 inches, are engineered for maximum readability in extreme lighting conditions—often exceeding 5,000 nits of peak brightness.
The strip screen series includes standard sizes such as 19", 21.2", 28.6", and 43", but also extends to ultra-large formats like 86", making them ideal for command centers, control rooms, and transportation systems. Each display is built with advanced technologies including anti-glare coatings, high-contrast IPS or TN panels, and full-spectrum LED backlighting. For example, the 28.6" and 37.6" models commonly used in automotive dashboards or heavy machinery incorporate ruggedized casings rated IP65 or higher for dust and water resistance.
Industry standards such as MIL-STD-810G for shock and vibration, and EN 60945 for maritime environments, ensure reliability in harsh conditions. In solar-powered systems—like those in remote monitoring stations—the 48.5" and 58.4" units utilize low-power consumption drivers while maintaining brightness levels above 7,000 nits during daylight operation.
Manufacturers like LG Display, Sharp, and Innolux provide certified modules that meet these specifications. The 42" and 49.5" variants are often found in airport information systems and public transit kiosks due to their wide viewing angles and 24/7 operational stability.
For engineers designing embedded systems, selecting the right strip screen involves balancing resolution (typically HD to 4K), power efficiency, and thermal management. A recent case study by Siemens on offshore drilling platforms showed a 35% reduction in maintenance costs after switching to 37" sunlight-readable strips with automatic brightness adjustment.
Whether deploying a single 14.1" unit in a handheld device or an 86" wall-mounted system in a smart factory, choosing a strip screen designed for real-world brightness demands ensures long-term performance and user safety.
