Outdoor Digital Signage OEM & ODM Solutions

Build Your Outdoor Display Around Your Project Requirements

Not every outdoor digital signage project can use an off-the-shelf display.

Different projects may require a specific screen size, brightness level, enclosure dimension, mounting method, operating system, interface, touchscreen, communication method or software platform.

HITULCD provides OEM and ODM services for professional outdoor digital signage projects, helping distributors, system integrators, equipment manufacturers, contractors and procurement teams develop displays that match their specific application requirements.

From display selection and mechanical design to electronics, software integration, prototyping and mass production, our engineering team can support your project from concept to finished product.

ODM — Develop a Display for Your Application

If you need a product that does not currently exist in our standard catalog, our engineering team can work with you to develop a new outdoor display solution.

You can provide the application requirements instead of a complete product specification.

For example:

“We need a 21.5-inch outdoor display for a gas station. It will be installed outdoors in direct sunlight, must operate 24/7, support 4G, use portrait orientation and connect to our CMS.”

Our engineering team can then evaluate:

• Display technology

• Brightness

• Thermal management

• Enclosure structure

• Glass

• IP protection

• Mounting

• Touch solution

• Android / Windows platform

• Communication interfaces

• Power supply

• Environmental requirements

• Software integration

The result is a project-specific display configuration designed around your actual installation requirements.

What Can We Customize?

1. Display Size & Brightness

Select the screen configuration according to your application.

Available options can include:

• 7"–86" display sizes

• Standard LCD
