11.6 Inch Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel for Embedded HMIs

11.6 Inch Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel for Embedded HMIs

A Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel in an 11.6-inch Full HD format gives equipment designers a compact 1920 × 1080 workspace with IPS full-view performance, 400 cd/m² typical luminance and a 30-pin eDP connection. Its 256.32 × 144.18 mm active area supports detailed graphical interfaces without requiring a large front-panel opening. The standard configuration is non-touch, making it suitable for systems that use external controls or a separately engineered input solution.

Product Summary

This 11.6-inch TFT-LCD is designed for professional equipment that needs Full HD information density in a relatively slim landscape format. The 16:9 screen can accommodate status dashboards, parameter controls, graphical menus, process information and image-based interface elements.

Full HD Workspace for Compact Equipment

The native 1920 × 1080 raster provides substantially more interface space than lower-resolution panels in the same size class. For equipment designers, that allows smaller text, denser menus and multiple information regions to be arranged without moving to a larger display.

Driving the module at its native resolution is also the preferred starting point for UI development because it avoids unnecessary scaling and preserves the intended pixel geometry.

IPS Full-View Performance

The IPS full-view structure provides 85°/85°/85°/85° typical viewing angles in the left, right, up and down directions. This is useful when an operator may view the screen from different positions rather than directly on-axis.

The 1000:1 typical contrast ratio and 16.7M-color capability provide a practical visual foundation for charts, menus, equipment status graphics and application-specific interface elements.

Key Specifications

400 cd/m² Optical Performance

The 400 cd/m² typical luminance is appropriate for many indoor and controlled-light equipment environments. It gives the display more visual headroom than a low-luminance office-class panel without turning the product into an outdoor or direct-sun display.

Controlled-Light Readability

Front glass, surface reflection, viewing angle and ambient illumination all affect the final image seen by the operator.

A 400 cd/m² panel should be evaluated behind the final front stack under the target lighting.

Projects that add protective glass or another front layer should validate finished-system luminance and reflection rather than treating the bare-panel value as the final optical result.

Contrast and Color Presentation

The 1000:1 typical contrast ratio supports clear separation between interface backgrounds, text, charts and status elements. With 16.7M colors, the display can also support color-coded interface structures where different operating states or information groups need visual differentiation.

Integrating the Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel

The Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel uses a 30-pin eDP connection. For engineering teams, the connector count is only one part of compatibility qualification.

30-Pin eDP Qualification

Before a controller, motherboard or cable is released, confirm the native 1920 × 1080 timing, complete connector assignment, eDP link requirements, electrical domains, cable orientation and backlight requirements against the approved panel documentation.

A matching 30-pin connector does not guarantee eDP compatibility.

This distinction is important because current eDP integration guidance also notes that matching size, resolution and connector count alone does not establish direct interchangeability; pin definition, lane configuration, panel voltage, timing and cable definition still require verification.

Standard Non-Touch Architecture

The standard configuration is non-touch.

That can be appropriate for products using physical buttons, rotary controls, keyboards or host-controlled display output. If a separate touchscreen is required, it should be treated as an additional assembly with its own controller, interface, mechanical thickness, cover structure and optical requirements.

Mechanical Fit and Drawing Control

The display has a confirmed 256.32 × 144.18 mm active image area, but the available mechanical references are not completely aligned.

Active Area Versus Module Outline

The active area determines the visible image region. The module outline controls enclosure clearance, bracket position, bezel design and cable routing.

The most detailed configuration value is 263.10 × 156.36 × 3.25 mm. Another dimensional callout shows 263.6 × 157.42 mm, while a rounded specification gives 263 × 156 mm and a maximum thickness of 3 mm.

Dimension Release Before Tooling

The approved production drawing must control mechanical release.

Do not release enclosure tooling from a rounded dimension alone. The approved drawing should confirm the final production revision, maximum thickness, frame edge, FPC/connector position and tolerance before a bezel or mounting feature is frozen.

Environmental Range for Professional Equipment

The module is specified for operation from −20°C to +70°C and storage from −30°C to +80°C. These limits provide a useful component-level range for professional electronics and equipment transported or stored under varying environmental conditions.

They do not establish the environmental rating of the finished product. Enclosure temperature, condensation, humidity, contamination, vibration and other system-level conditions still require separate qualification.

Medical and Smart Kitchen Application Fit

The Medical and Smart Kitchen LCD Panel combines a compact Full HD canvas, eDP input and full-view IPS structure that can be evaluated for professional interface equipment.

Medical-Equipment Component Boundary

Medical equipment can require dense interface layouts for status information, graphical controls and instrument data, making the 1920 × 1080 format useful for compact display assemblies.

Medical-equipment application wording does not establish finished-device medical certification.

Safety, EMC, cleaning, optical performance and regulatory requirements must be addressed at the finished-device level for the intended market and use case.

Smart Cooking and Appliance Interfaces

Smart cooking machines and other connected kitchen equipment can use LCD interfaces for recipe selection, operating status, cooking programs and equipment controls. The Full HD landscape format provides sufficient interface space for these kinds of multi-zone layouts.

Kitchen deployment, however, does not by itself establish resistance to steam, grease, humidity, heat or liquids. Those conditions should be specified for the finished enclosure and front stack before the module is approved for a particular appliance design.

Configuration and Customization

Project review can cover eDP cable and pin definition, front cover design, AG or AR treatment, optical bonding, separate touch development, cable routing and mechanical adaptation.

Custom configurations are generally reviewed from 500 pieces, subject to tooling requirements, material availability and the requested specification. Sample and standard-module quantities are confirmed separately.

Procurement Checklist

Before releasing a sample or design-in, confirm the production revision, native 1920 × 1080 timing, complete 30-pin eDP definition, cable orientation, panel electrical requirements, WLED drive requirements, 256.32 × 144.18 mm active area, approved final module drawing, 400 cd/m² luminance tolerance, 1000:1 contrast requirement, standard non-touch configuration, operating/storage temperatures, front-window optical stack and the actual application environment.

For kitchen equipment, also define enclosure heat, humidity, steam, grease and cleaning conditions. For medical equipment, specify finished-device safety, EMC, cleaning and regulatory requirements before qualification.
