16.4" Stretched Bar LCD Display

Ultra-Slim Shelf-Edge Signage Module for Price & Promotion Messaging — Engineered for OEM/ODM Integration

A high-aspect-ratio TFT-LCD bar display designed to sit where conventional 16:9 monitors cannot: the front edge of retail shelves, narrow cabinet recesses, and slim fascia panels. Built from precision-resized TFT panels with a controlled cutting and edge-sealing process, and supported by documented engineering, reliability and sampling workflows for system integrators and retail-technology brands.

Product at a Glance

Final specifications are confirmed per project. Contact our engineering team for the current datasheet.

Why Engineers and Buyers Choose a Stretched Bar Format

• Fits narrow mounting envelopes. Extreme aspect ratio and slim profile allow installation along shelf edges and in cabinet slots where standard monitors physically cannot fit.

• Content where decisions are made. Dynamic pricing, promotions and brand messaging at the point of purchase, updated centrally without manual label changes.

• Lower integration risk. A single, defined module (panel + driver board + optional player) reduces the number of components your team must qualify.

• Customizable to your platform. Size, resolution, brightness, interface, touch and mechanical structure can be adapted to your product roadmap.

Key Features

Optical performance

• High-brightness backlight options for well-lit retail aisles and glass-fronted installations

• Wide-viewing-angle panel options for shelf-height and off-axis viewing

• Optional optical bonding and anti-glare treatment to improve readability and durability

Mechanical & integration

• Slim module profile designed for shelf-edge rails, brackets and embedded enclosures

• Narrow-bezel design that keeps merchandise visible

• Custom brackets, cable exit positions and FPC/connector orientation available

System options

• Driver board for LVDS/eDP/HDMI input, or Android-based player with USB / cloud / app content management

• Optional capacitive touch for interactive shelf or kiosk uses

• Multi-unit deployment supported through a central content server (system-level items to be defined per project)

Custom-Cut TFT Technology: Engineering Answers Up Front

Our stretched bar modules are produced by resizing standard TFT-LCD panels. We know that buyers, project managers and design engineers need clear answers before committing to a cut-panel program. Below is how we address the questions we hear most often.

1. Cutting Process & Feasibility Assessment

Cutting method. We select the process based on your dimensions, tolerance and panel structure:

The recommended method is confirmed during feasibility review, not assumed.

Gate/Source routing & TFT array protection. Before any tooling or sample build, we verify whether the target cut line interferes with the panel's Gate/Source fan-out traces, seal line, or active TFT array area. Feasibility is confirmed on the actual panel design, not on general rules of thumb.

What we need from you to start the review:

• Target outline drawing (DXF/DWG/STEP) with critical dimensions and tolerances

• Base panel model, or your preferred panel supplier/series

• Target active area, bezel and mounting requirements

• Interface, brightness and environmental requirements

• Target volume and program timeline

Edge quality. Cut edges are inspected for flatness, chipping and micro-crack propagation against a defined acceptance standard. [Insert your edge inspection criteria: e.g., chipping size limit, crack length limit, inspection method (microscope magnification), sampling rate.]

2. Sealing & Reliability

Edge sealing (anti-leakage & moisture protection). After cutting, exposed cell edges are re-sealed to protect the liquid crystal layer and prevent moisture ingress. [Confirm process: e.g., UV-curable sealant dispensing with controlled bead height and cure profile, plus visual and functional inspection.]

Reliability testing. Cut-panel modules are validated against the test plan agreed with each customer. Typical items include:

Benchmark test data from comparable cut-panel projects can be shared with qualified customers under NDA. Test levels (consumer-grade vs. industrial-grade) are aligned to your end application.

Optical consistency. Light leakage and color shift near cut edges are evaluated during sampling. Where required, we apply optimized backlight/bezel design and edge treatment to reduce edge Mura, and inspect against a defined acceptance standard. [Insert acceptance criteria if available.]

3. Cost, Yield & Lead Time

Project Workflow

1. Inquiry & requirement capture — share drawings, target specs and volume

2. Feasibility & quotation — cutting method, routing check, NRE and unit pricing

3. Engineering samples — build, inspection report and optical/mechanical validation

4. Reliability validation — agreed test plan on customer-approved samples

5. Pilot run & specification freeze — yield confirmation, process lock

6. Mass production & ongoing support — batch traceability and change-control

Quality & Compliance

• Incoming panel inspection, in-process checks at cutting and sealing, and final optical/functional testing before shipment

• Batch traceability for cut-panel lots

• Documentation support for your certification process: [RoHS / REACH declarations, CE/FCC support at system level — confirm before publishing]

• Packaging designed for LCD transport protection; custom labeling available for OEM programs

Typical Applications

• Retail: supermarket and convenience-store shelf-edge pricing, promo strips, category signage

• Cabinet & fixture embedding: display cases, refrigerator/vending fronts, exhibition fixtures

• Transportation & building: elevator panels, bus and train information strips, wayfinding

• Industrial & commercial: control console strips, queue and information bars

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cut to our exact dimensions?Within the limits of the base panel's internal routing and seal structure. We confirm feasibility on your target drawing before quoting.

Which cutting method do you recommend?It depends on tolerance, border width and volume. We propose mechanical or laser cutting after reviewing your drawing.

Will cutting affect long-term reliability?Properly sealed and validated cut panels are designed to meet the environmental targets agreed for your application. We recommend validating on engineering samples with your own test plan.

Do you provide samples before mass production?Yes. Engineering samples with inspection reports are part of our standard workflow.

Can you support NDA and private-label programs?Yes. We support OEM/ODM with NDA, custom labeling and controlled change management.
