Open Frame High Brightness Monitors

High Brightness Open Frame Monitors for OEM Embedded Display Integration

DisplayMan open frame high brightness monitors are designed for OEM equipment manufacturers, kiosk builders, vending machine companies, EV charger manufacturers, industrial equipment suppliers, and system integrators who need sunlight-readable displays embedded into their own enclosure or machine structure.

Unlike finished outdoor displays with heavy waterproof housings, open frame high brightness monitors provide a display engine for integration — including LCD panel, high-brightness backlight, control board, metal frame, mounting structure, and optional touch or cover glass.

From Standard Screen to Embedded Display Engine

Challenge

Standard Monitors Often Do Not Fit OEM Equipment

OEM equipment manufacturers often cannot use standard monitors because the size, brightness, mounting structure, interface, front glass, or operating environment does not match the equipment design.

Solution

A Flexible Display Platform

Open frame high brightness monitors provide a flexible display platform that can be integrated into the customer’s own enclosure, kiosk, cabinet, or industrial machine.

Result

Sunlight-Readable Embedded Display Integration

The customer gets a sunlight-readable display solution that fits the product structure without needing to design the entire display system from zero.

FAQ

What is an open frame high brightness monitor?

It is a high brightness display monitor without a full finished enclosure, designed for OEM integration into kiosks, vending machines, industrial equipment, EV chargers, and other machines.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

It can be used in outdoor or semi-outdoor equipment if the customer’s enclosure provides proper protection against rain, dust, heat, and other environmental factors.

Is it waterproof?

The open frame monitor itself is not a finished waterproof outdoor display. Waterproof protection usually depends on the final equipment enclosure.

Can it support touch?

Yes. Capacitive touch, cover glass, and optical bonding can be added depending on the project requirement.

Can you customize the size and structure?

Yes. DisplayMan can review custom size, mounting, glass, touch, brightness, interface, cable, and control board requirements.

What brightness should I choose?

It depends on the installation environment, sunlight condition, viewing distance, glass reflection, and product structure. DisplayMan can help evaluate the suitable brightness level.

What information should I provide for a quote?

Please provide screen size, brightness requirement, installation environment, touch requirement, interface, enclosure structure, quantity, and any drawings or photos if available.
