DESIGN SERVICES
Avnet Silica Displays offers comprehensive display, touchscreen and HMI design services for OEMs looking to integrate a display into a wide range of products. We have a deep understanding of how environmental factors impact the design of a display or touchscreen—from temperature extremes to bright sunlight, exposure to moisture and EMI, shock and vibration, and conditions where power is limited. Depending on requirements, we’re able to completely customise a display from the frame to the cover.
We build custom displays for our customers looking to create something truly unique. We’ve designed displays that are freeform, curved, bezel-less, ultra-bright, extra-large and small, and custom touch. If you’re looking for something specific, reach out to our team and let us help.
