From standard 800×480 WVGA configurations to ultra-high-brightness sunlight-readable panels, explore our front-line industrial displays custom-manufactured for critical human-machine interfaces.
Why the 5-inch form factor has emerged as the definitive golden ratio for ruggedized field instrumentation, smart medical diagnostic units, and mission-critical telematics.
The 5.0-inch diagonal represents the thermal and physical sweet spot for handheld industrial devices. Delivering an active viewing area of approximately 108.0 × 64.8 mm (in standard 16:9 aspect ratio), it grants terminal operators sufficient real estate for multi-variable telemetry charts without exceeding the power budget of single-cell lithium power arrays.
Unlike commercial consumer mobile screens that throttle brightness under thermal duress, custom 5-inch industrial displays engineered by Xunrui incorporate high-die-efficiency Nichia LED strings mounted on thermal-conductive aluminum backplanes. This enables continuous 1,000+ nit output while operating reliably from -30°C to +85°C without luminance degradation.
Consumer panel suppliers routinely declare End-of-Life (EOL) within 18 months. Our direct Shenzhen manufacturing ecosystem safeguards OEM supply chains with locked Bill-of-Materials (BOM) commitments extending 5 to 7 years. Controller ICs (such as ST7262, ILI9881C, or Sitronix drivers) are backed by strict second-source qualification.

By filling the physical air gap between the TFT polarizer and the touch sensor with optical clear resin (refractive index n≈1.49 matched to glass), our cleanroom bonding lines completely eradicate internal specular reflections. The net outcome is sharp, high-contrast readability even under direct 100,000-lux ambient noon sunlight.
Choose from chemical acid-etched Anti-Glare (AG) that disperses glare without introducing sparkling noise, multi-layer sputter vacuum Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings that suppress reflection below 0.5%, and hydrophobic/oleophobic Anti-Fingerprint (AF) treatments boasting a water contact angle >110° for frictionless wipe-down.

Answers to common engineering, commercial, and operational questions regarding 5-inch custom displays.
The standard industrial resolution for 5.0-inch displays is WVGA (800×480), which offers a balanced cost-to-performance ratio and lower processing overhead for industrial microcontrollers. For higher graphic fidelity, we also manufacture 5.0" HD (720×1280) and 480×854 (FWVGA) panels in both landscape and portrait orientations, driven by RGB, LVDS, or MIPI DSI interfaces.
Sunlight readability is achieved through a three-part optical approach: first, utilizing custom high-efficiency LED arrays driven by optimized constant-current circuits; second, incorporating optical films (DBEF - Dual Brightness Enhancement Film) that recycle internal light polarization; and third, applying full optical bonding (OCA) with an Anti-Reflective (AR) cover glass to minimize external surface reflections below 0.6%.
Yes, 100% customized FPCs are standard practice for our engineering department. We can modify pinout sequences, extend or shorten the tail length, incorporate gold-finger stiffeners (FR4, PI, or stainless steel), add integrated grounding layers for EMI reduction, and solder discrete board-to-board connectors directly onto the flex cable.
Custom FPC tooling typically ranges from $400 to $800 with sample fabrication completed in 10 to 14 days. Custom cover glass tooling (with silk-screen ceramic printing, step borders, and chemically strengthened tempering) runs between $600 and $1,500. Functional pilot samples are typically couriered to your lab within 15 to 20 working days following final 2D/3D drawing sign-off.
