43 Inch Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance and Transit Systems

43 Inch Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance

The Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance combines a native 1920 × 360 canvas, 600-nit luminance and 51-pin LVDS integration for passenger-information systems.

Product Summary

The Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance provides a long horizontal screen for railway stations, metro platforms, bus terminals and onboard information systems. Its 43-inch format is suited to destination names, route sequences, platform information, transfer directions, service notices and advertising zones that must fit inside a shallow enclosure.

The panel provides a 1073.78 × 199 mm active area within a 1101.8 × 227.5 × 25.8 mm module envelope. It combines 600-nit luminance, a 5000:1 typical contrast ratio, 60 Hz operation and a 51-pin LVDS connection. The standard configuration is non-touch.

Key Specifications

Native 1920 × 360 Content Planning

Route, Stop and Platform Information

The stretched canvas is designed for content that follows a horizontal sequence. A station or vehicle interface can divide the screen into zones for:

• route number
• destination
• current stop
• next stops
• transfer symbols
• platform information
• arrival or departure times
• service changes
• emergency notices
• advertising content

The bar format uses installation width without requiring the height of a conventional 16:9 monitor. This makes it suitable for spaces above doors, along platform structures, inside vehicle cabins and within narrow public-information enclosures.

Native-Raster Output Requirements

The 1920 × 360 raster should be driven natively to preserve text proportions, route symbols and horizontal graphics.

Content for stretched displays is commonly created directly at the native panel resolution, while controllers must support the exact custom canvas and timing to avoid cropping, distortion or unused image areas.

Before interface approval, confirm:

• native 1920 × 360 output
• 60 Hz timing
• correct aspect-ratio handling
• text size
• multilingual font rendering
• route-map spacing
• content-safe margins
• animation behavior
• controller scaling settings

Physical sample review is important because passenger distance, movement and viewing angle affect practical text size.

Optical Performance for Public Interiors

600-Nit Luminance Boundary

The panel is specified at 600 nits for indoor transit spaces and controlled public environments with stronger ambient light than a typical office.

Finished visibility depends on:

• cover-glass transmission
• surface reflection
• air-gap construction
• optical bonding
• lighting direction
• equipment angle
• passenger viewing distance

A 600-nit panel does not by itself establish sunlight readability or outdoor suitability. Projects near exposed platforms, windows or direct daylight need separate optical and thermal validation.

Contrast and Viewing Data

The 5000:1 typical contrast ratio supports clear separation between dark backgrounds, route text, colored warnings and service graphics.

The viewing data is listed as 89/89/89/89. Because the directional order is not identified, the sequence remains unassigned until an approved specification confirms orientation.

The display-color field lists 16.7M / 1.07B. Controller qualification must confirm the active color mode, LVDS bit format and any required dithering or frame-rate-control behavior.

51-Pin LVDS Integration

Timing, Mapping and Pinout Qualification

A 51-pin LVDS connector does not guarantee timing, signal mapping, voltage or pin compatibility with another 51-pin panel.

Before designing the cable or applying power, confirm:

• native 1920 × 360 timing
• LVDS channel count
• bit configuration
• signal mapping
• signal voltage
• complete 51-pin assignment
• connector pitch
• contact side
• connector orientation
• panel supply
• backlight supply
• dimming method
• cable length and routing

Comparable 43-inch 1920 × 360 displays may share 51-pin LVDS terminology while differing in luminance, electrical definition and mechanical construction.

HDMI and Other Sources Require Conversion

HDMI, DisplayPort, eDP, MIPI DSI and USB video sources require a suitable controller or bridge when the host does not provide the panel’s native LVDS timing.

The conversion solution should be checked for:

• accepted input modes
• native 1920 × 360 output
• 60 Hz support
• scaling behavior
• LVDS mapping
• color-depth handling
• panel power
• backlight control
• controller-board dimensions
• connector clearance
• thermal performance

Support for 1920 horizontal pixels alone does not prove support for the complete 1920 × 360 timing.

Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance Mechanics

Active Area and Visible Opening

The active image area is 1073.78 × 199 mm. This value should guide:

• visible bezel opening
• cover-glass window
• printed black mask
• panel alignment
• route-text safe margins
• passenger viewing calculations
• content-zone boundaries

Critical destination names and route information should remain inside the verified opening after bezel overlap and assembly tolerances are included.

Distributed Mounting and Rear Clearance

The module measures 1101.8 × 227.5 × 25.8 mm. Its elongated construction requires distributed support rather than treating it like a compact monitor panel.

Mechanical review should include:

• frame straightness
• multiple mounting points
• torsional loading
• connector access
• rear clearance
• cable bend radius
• airflow
• front-glass loading
• transport protection
• service access

The module should not be supported only at its ends unless an approved mechanical design explicitly permits that arrangement.

Refresh Rate and Color-Path Review

The module is specified for 60 Hz operation. The graphics source, controller and LVDS path must all support the required timing.

The 16.7M / 1.07B listing must be clarified before controller approval. Procurement documents should identify:

• selected color mode
• LVDS bit depth
• controller output format
• dithering method
• acceptance criteria
• any image-processing requirements

The listed color modes do not establish calibrated color accuracy or a defined color gamut.

Non-Touch Application Architecture

The standard configuration is non-touch. It is suited to passive information systems where passengers read content without interacting directly with the panel.

Potential applications include:

• metro route displays
• railway platform information
• bus destination displays
• onboard next-stop information
• terminal departure screens
• station wayfinding
• service-notice bands
• advertising strips
• long-format digital signage

A non-touch configuration avoids the optical loss, controller integration and additional thickness of a touch layer. Interactive designs require a separately specified sensor, touch controller, cover lens and bonding stack.

Custom Integration Options

Project evaluation may include:

• 51-pin LVDS controller matching
• custom LVDS cable
• timing and mapping verification
• cover-glass design
• anti-glare or anti-reflection treatment
• optical bonding
• enclosure adaptation
• distributed mounting support
• logo or graphic printing
• brightness evaluation
• optional touch development
• packaging and labeling

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.

For a Stretched Bar Display Module for Station Guidance project, customization should begin only after timing, connector and mechanical documents have been approved.
