Display Innovation for Display Innovation for Prosumer
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: 4.3” – 7” (16:9, 16:10, bar type), depending on UI
Display type:TFT (MIPI, RGB, LVDS)
Brightness:300–500 cd/m² for indoor use
Touch:PCAP, low cost
Cover lens:AG or clear glass
Bonding:Standard air gap or OCA bonding
Operating temperature: 0 to +60°C
Longevity:5+ years
HMI for Coffee Machines
