46.6" Stretched Bar LCD Module for Bus & Transit Display Systems

Model: PC466KT01-1 | Open-Cell TFT-LCD for Custom Digital Signage Integration

Overview

The PC466KT01-1 is a 46.6-inch ultra-wide stretched bar LCD module engineered for transit passenger information systems, bus destination/route displays, and other applications requiring a narrow, elongated viewing format. At an aspect ratio of approximately 32:1 and a resolution of 3840 × 120, this panel is purpose-built for scenarios where a standard-format display cannot fit the installation envelope — overhead bus signage, platform indicators, and horizontal digital signage bars.

This module is supplied as an a-Si TFT-LCD FOB Open-Cell (glass + COF IC, without backlight), giving OEMs, system integrators, and panel converters the flexibility to pair it with a custom backlight, driver board, and mechanical housing to match their end-product specification.

Manufactured by Shenzhen Hantu Jiashi Technology Co., Ltd. (HITULCD) — a certified factory in operation since 2014, ISO9001 / CE / RoHS / FCC / REACH compliant — with in-house engineering support for custom sizing, brightness, and interface requirements.

Custom-Cutting Technical FAQ

Stretched/bar-format LCDs are produced by precision-cutting a standard mother-glass TFT panel down to the target outline. Below are the questions our engineering team most commonly receives from overseas procurement managers and project engineers during pre-project technical evaluation, along with what we typically confirm before quoting.

1. Cutting Process & Feasibility

• Cutting method: Depending on the target dimensions, tolerance, and edge-quality requirements, our engineering team evaluates two cutting approaches — mechanical wheel scribe-and-break, and ultrafast (cold) laser cutting. Laser cutting is generally recommended for tighter dimensional tolerance and minimal micro-cracking near the cut edge; mechanical cutting can be cost-effective for larger tolerance windows. The final recommendation is confirmed per project after DFM review.

• Circuit clearance (Gate/Source & TFT array): Before cutting, our engineers cross-check the requested outline against the panel's Gate/Source trace layout and active TFT array boundary to confirm the cut line does not intersect functional circuitry. To complete this review, we typically request:

• Target outline dimensions and cutting tolerance (±mm)

• Desired active area (A.A.) location relative to the original panel

• Mounting/mechanical drawing (if the cut panel integrates into an existing housing)

• Any keep-out zone requirements from your side

• Edge quality standard: Post-cut edge flatness and micro-crack control are inspected under standard incoming-quality criteria before a panel proceeds to sealing; panels outside tolerance are rejected at this stage rather than passed downstream.

2. Reliability & Edge-Sealing Assurance

• Sealing process: Cut edges are treated with a secondary edge-sealing process (UV-cure adhesive dispensing along the cut edge) to prevent liquid crystal leakage and moisture ingress at the exposed edge.

• Reliability testing: Cut/sealed modules can be run through standard consumer-grade or industrial-grade reliability test protocols depending on the end application, including:

• High-temperature / high-humidity (e.g., "double 85": 85°C / 85% RH) soak testing

• Thermal shock / hot-cold cycling

• Structural drop testing Benchmark data from comparable prior cutting projects can be shared under NDA once your target size and test standard are confirmed.

• Optical performance at the seal line: Panels are inspected for light leakage and color-shift (Mura) defects specifically at the edge/sealing region as part of final QC, since this is the area most sensitive to cutting and sealing process variation.

3. Cost, Yield & Lead Time

• NRE & first-sample cost: Custom cutting projects carry a one-time engineering/tooling (NRE) cost, which varies by target size, tolerance, and cutting method. First-sample lead time is typically confirmed after DFM review; contact our team with your target spec for a project-specific quote and timeline (a common first-article batch size for evaluation is ~20 pcs).

• Volume yield & MOQ: Expected mass-production yield for a given cutting profile depends on the specific dimensions, tolerance, and cutting method chosen, and is confirmed based on pilot-run data for your exact spec. Standard-spec MOQ starts at 1 unit; custom cutting, brightness, or bezel configurations may carry a different MOQ, confirmed at quotation.

• Standard lead times: 2–3 weeks for standard specification; 4–6 weeks typical for custom/cutting projects, depending on scope.
