In fact, we don't need to worry too much. We can first understand the advantages and disadvantages of custom LCD before making a decision. Is custom LCD really a waste of money?
First of all, if you need a segment code screen, you must actually open the mold, and the mold opening fee for ordinary segment code screens is also very low, 500-2000 can basically be done, and Relatively speaking, the structure of the segment code screen is also very easy to do. Instead of wasting a lot of energy to find a needle in a haystack, it is better to save time and quickly make the product and bring it to the market.
Of course, the main problem is the dot matrix screen and the color screen. If you need a dot matrix screen, but you can't find the right size, and usually the dot matrix screen cost is high, when the project starts, you will definitely feel open The dot matrix screen is a waste of money. At this time, we can change our thinking. The most common method is:
1. Don't consider opening the mold, but you can choose the most suitable LCD screen as possible, and make a fuss on the protective cover or sticker on the surface of the equipment, so as to cover the area that is beyond or not covered by the LCD screen, which is the most economical The solution is to sacrifice a little display space in exchange for a perfect structure.
2. Adjusting the structure is also a way, but most people are reluctant to do this, because some structures have high mold opening costs, and the adjustment of the structure involves multiple departments, and the process will be very long, so the early structure can be considered Simple proofing is done by 3D printing, and the structure is opened after all components are confirmed.
Speaking of LCD screen mold opening, in fact, when most people hear mold opening, the first consideration must be mold opening fee, but for products with expected volume or replacement, mold opening is actually the best choice, because although mold opening has A mold opening fee is exchanged for a lower price than conventional products. As long as there is a quantity, it is actually very easy to recover the cost. Therefore, for products with expectations, you can consider mold opening and customization. The unit price is reduced. The products of others are not so easy to imitate, so why not do it.
If you need a color screen, the mold opening fee will be more expensive. Generally, it is not recommended for customers to choose mold opening. It is recommended to choose a conventional LCD screen, and then adjust the structure according to the size of the LCD screen.
In addition, there is actually another way to reduce costs here. As we all know, Hangzhou Lihuang is a professional supplier of LCD liquid crystal screens and liquid crystal modules. We often help customers to integrate the circuits originally made on the control board into the LCD. On the module (many customers' LCD control board and LCD screen are separated), the biggest advantage of this is that the cost is reduced, because the LCD related circuit can be handed over to our LCD screen technicians, so that you can save circuit boards, The time of production, commissioning and inspection, first of all, the labor cost is reduced, and the integration does not need to consider the problem of line transmission, which is more stable.
