In the meantime, here’s what we’ve got for September…
We know that touch displays used to have a long wait time! For even a simple display stack with generic coverglass and display drivers, lead times often extend out to 16 weeks and more.
SimplePlus Touch Displays are different. We can supply you with samples fast – straight from stock – with a size range of 4.3” to 21.5”, even with optional display drivers. They are suitable for immediate connection to a Laptop, PC or embedded compute solution and have common video output (HDMI, DVI or VGA) as standard.
And if you need customization, we’ve got you covered, too. Coverlens, thickness, shape, individual glass print, display brightness and more can be adjusted to suit volume projects. And we make sure that our work runs in parallel with yours, so development is as continuous, swift and efficient as possible.
You can find out more about the range of SimplePlus products here. And we can help you get to market faster, better and stronger.
