Why Choosing a Custom TFT Display Vendor Matters

Blog Article

When designing an embedded product — whether it’s an industrial controller, a smart home panel, or a handheld diagnostic device — the display is one of the most critical components.


Yet off-the-shelf TFT displays often come with trade-offs: poor integration, fixed dimensions, limited interface options, or supply chain uncertainties. That’s why more and more hardware teams are turning to custom TFT display solutions.


But not all custom vendors are created equal.



The Problem with Generic TFT Modules


Generic displays may seem appealing at first — they’re cheap and readily available. But in real-world applications, they often cause more trouble than they solve:





  • Mechanical mismatches with your housing or PCB.




  • Interface incompatibility (e.g., you need MIPI DSI but the module only supports RGB).




  • Lack of long-term availability or unclear EOL plans.




  • Poor brightness or contrast in outdoor environments.




  • No customization for FPC pinout, backlight driver, or touch IC.




These issues can result in weeks of engineering delays, increased BOM complexity, or even full redesigns.






Why Choose Custom Displays from Rocktech?


We specialize in project-based customization of TFT displays — not just screen sizes, but signal interfaces, FPC layouts, touch options, and mechanical fit.


Here’s what we offer:





  • ???? Tailored Display Engineering


    From custom resolution and timing to shape, brightness, and mounting holes — all fully adjustable.




  • ???? Custom FPC and Interface Options


    Whether you use LVDS, MIPI DSI, SPI, RGB, or even parallel interfaces, we adjust the FPC pinouts to match your design directly.

  • ???? Engineering-Driven Support


    Our team works with your schematic and system layout to ensure timing compatibility and signal integrity.




  • ???? Global Shipments and Documentation


    We provide 3D files, timing specs, datasheets, and pre-shipment test reports with every project.







When Should You Consider Custom?


You should definitely go custom if:





  • Your product has specific mechanical dimensions.




  • You’re using an ARM-based SBC with LVDS/MIPI interfaces.




  • The FPC needs to bend or route in a unique way.




  • You’re integrating touch + display in a sealed front panel.




  • You need consistent supply for 3–5+ years.







 Start With a Rocktech Reference Model


Most of our custom projects begin with a base model like RK070CU01 — a 7-inch IPS screen — then modified with custom FPC, pin mappings, and interface timing to match your system.






 Need Help With Your Display Project?


We’ve supported hundreds of embedded designs across automotive, medical, automation, and consumer markets. If you have a schematic or PCB ready, we can start customizing right away.
