17.5" Stretched Bar LCD Display | 500 nits | Customizable & Cuttable for OEM Integration

1. Product Overview

The 17.5" 500-nit Stretched Bar LCD is an ultra-wide TFT display module built for OEM and system-integration projects where a standard 16:9 panel simply does not fit. It is designed for shelf-edge displays, vehicle and transit interiors, elevator and cabinet fronts, industrial control panels, and narrow-format digital signage.

Beyond the standard configuration, the panel platform supports engineering-led customization: custom outline dimensions, cut-to-size processing, interface adaptation, and mechanical integration support. Our team works with your engineers from feasibility review through pilot build and mass production.

Why engineering and procurement teams choose this platform

• 500 cd/m² typical brightness, suited to indoor retail, lobbies, and other well-lit commercial spaces

• Stretched / bar-type format for space-constrained installations

• Customization path for size, interface, brightness, and mounting

• Documented engineering support (timing specs, mechanical drawings, DFM review)

• CE / FCC / RoHS compliance and ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing system

2. Key Specifications (Standard Configuration)

3. Customization & Cutting Capability

For projects that need a non-standard dimension, we support a structured feasibility process. Below is how we approach the questions engineers most often raise.

3.1 Cutting Method & Tolerance

3.2 Circuit Routing & Design-Rule Check

Before any cutting is approved, we verify that the proposed dimension does not interfere with Gate/Source routing or the TFT array active region.

To complete the feasibility assessment, please provide:

1. Target outline and active-area dimensions (with tolerance)

2. Mechanical drawing of your enclosure / mounting structure

3. Interface and connector requirements

4. Brightness, operating-temperature, and touch/bonding needs

5. Estimated annual volume and project timeline

We return a written feasibility and DFM report identifying the safe cut zone, risk areas, and recommended process.

3.3 Edge Quality

Post-cut glass edges are inspected for flatness, chipping, and micro-cracks. Acceptance criteria (maximum chip size, micro-crack limits, edge roughness) are agreed with the customer and documented in the project specification [TBC – attach internal edge inspection standard].

4. Reliability & Edge Sealing

4.1 Sealing Process

Cut edges are re-sealed to protect against liquid-crystal leakage and moisture ingress. The sealing process (e.g., UV-cured adhesive dispensing or alternative sealant) is selected based on the design and environmental target [TBC – specify actual process and material], with controls on dispensing consistency, curing, and inspection.

4.2 Environmental & Mechanical Testing

Reliability validation is planned per project, aligned to the end-use grade (commercial or industrial). A typical validation plan includes:

Data availability [TBC]: Benchmark test data from comparable cutting projects can be shared under NDA once confirmed by the quality team.

4.3 Optical Performance After Cutting

We evaluate the cut-and-sealed edge zone for light leakage, color shift, and mura. Backlight and light-guide adaptation is reviewed as part of the design to keep edge-region uniformity consistent with the main display area. Sample units are inspected against agreed optical acceptance criteria before pilot approval.

10. FAQ

Can you cut the panel to my exact size?Yes, subject to a feasibility review. We check Gate/Source routing and the active TFT area before confirming any dimension.

How do you prevent moisture and liquid-crystal leakage on cut edges?Cut edges are re-sealed with a dedicated sealing process and validated through environmental testing such as 85 °C/85% RH.

Will the cut edge cause light leakage or color shift?Edge-zone optical performance is reviewed during design and verified on prototypes against agreed acceptance criteria.

What do I need to start?A drawing or dimensions, target volume, and application details. We return a feasibility report and quotation.

Do you support small pilot quantities?Yes. OEM/ODM projects are supported from small volumes, with samples available for evaluation.
