Display Innovation for Construction & Agricultural Vehicles
Tria’s ecosystem includes all major Tier 1 display manufacturers.
Custom displays are the new standard—most AvE projects require a full-stack approach, integrating display, touch, and an application-specific cover lens (glass) in a bonded solution.
With engineering and R&D in Germany and partnerships with leading touch, touch driver providers, and second-tier display integrators, we deliver tailored solutions for your application.
Standardized display touch platforms like SimpleFlex ensure faster time-to-market.
Typical Display – Touch Requirements
Display size: 5”–12.8” (varies by UI, function, and driver cabin)
Brightness:800–1100 cd/m² high-brightness for outdoor use
Touch:PCAP (resistant to 150V/m EMI, water-resistant)
Cover lens:AG / AR / AF coating, IK ≥7 (mechanical impact protection)
UV protection:Shielded against UV exposure
Bonding:Optical bonding (OCR / OCA) for optimal sunlight readability
Operating temperature:-30°C to +85°C (extended temperature range)
Shock & vibration: Engineered for high shock and vibration resistance
Longevity:7+ years (second source for the cell is crucial)
