Custom LCD Monochrome Display

Customizing a monochrome LCD requires confirming structural dimensions, electrical parameters, optical performance, connection mode, and environmental requirements one by one. Below is a complete, step-by-step customization guide based on the parameters you provided.

1. Dimension & Structure Design(draft drawing )
   Upper & Lower Glass
   • Upper Glass Size / Lower Glass Size: Determine length * width according to your installation space.
   • Upper Glass Thickness / Lower Glass Thickness: Common thicknesses are 0.55mm, 0.7mm, 1.1mm.
   • Window Area: The effective display area (the part where characters/patterns show up), which is smaller than the glass outline.
2. Pin / Connection Type

   Choose the interface based on your PCB and assembly method:

   • Zebra Stripes (Conductive Rubber Connector): Low cost, suitable for simple modules
   • Ribbon Cables (Flex Cable): Flexible installation, space-saving
   • Metal Pins: High reliability, easy soldering
   • Pin Spacing: Standard 0.5mm, 0.635mm, 1.0mm, 2.54mm
3. LCD Type (Core Optical Effect)
   Liquid Crystal Mode
   • TN: Basic, low cost, general contrast
   • HTN: Higher contrast than TN
   • STN Series:
     • Y-G STN (Yellow-Green)
     • Gray STN
     • Blue STN
     • FSTN (Film-compensated STN, high contrast, wide temp)
   Display Mode
   • Reflective: Uses ambient light, no backlight
   • Semi-transparent: Supports both reflection and backlight
   • Fully Transparent: Must use backlight
   • Positive Display: Dark characters on light background
   • Negative Display: Light characters on dark background (better with backlight)
   • Mark any Special Requirements (custom color, special liquid crystal, etc.)
4. Drive Parameters
   • Drive Voltage: Common 3.0V, 5.0V
   • Drive Frequency: Determined by IC and duty cycle
   • Drive Type:
     • Static drive: Simple, few segments, high contrast
     • Dynamic drive: For multi-segment / dot-matrix displays (1/2 duty, 1/4 duty, 1/8 duty, etc.)
5. Viewing Angle Direction

   Set according to installation position:

   • 6 o’clock: Viewed from below (most common for handheld devices)
   • 12 o’clock: Viewed from above
   • 3 o’clock: Viewed from right
   • 9 o’clock: Viewed from left
6. Surface Polarizer

   Select surface treatment:

   • Anti-UV: Prevents aging in sunlight
   • Anti-glare (AG): Reduces reflection, improves readability outdoors
   • Color Polarizer: Yellow-green, gray, blue, white background
   • Other Custom Polarizer
7. Temperature Range
   • Operating Temperature: e.g. -20℃ ~ +70℃, -30℃ ~ +80℃
   • Storage Temperature: Usually wider than operating range
8. Special Process
   • Printing: Silk-screen printing on the glass (position, color of frame, logo, background)
   • Chamfering: Corner cutting to avoid sharp edges
   • Edging: Polishing glass edges
   • Other: Anti-explosion, waterproof treatment, custom shape, etc.
