Open Frame Digital Signage is an integration-ready commercial display terminal designed for customers who already have their own enclosure, machine, kiosk body, wall structure or commercial equipment.
Unlike a finished Digital Signage Display, the product focuses on embedded installation, mounting points, interface access, cable direction, touch integration and compatibility with the customer's final structure.
Unlike a Floor-Standing Kiosk, it does not include the customer's complete standing enclosure or base.
This product belongs to Touchscreen All-in-One Terminals → Enterprise & Industrial Terminals.
Open Frame Digital Signage is the display-and-system core inside the customer's own equipment. It is not a finished standalone screen and not a complete kiosk enclosure.
| Product Direction | Typical Size | Best For | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact Open Frame Digital Signage | 10.1"–21.5" | Equipment panels, counters, smart lockers, vending machines and compact terminals | Compact embedded display structure |
| Standard Open Frame Digital Signage | 23.8"–43" | Kiosks, retail equipment, self-service machines and commercial terminals | Mainstream OEM integration size range |
| Large-Format Open Frame Digital Signage | 55"–98" | Large kiosks, wall-integrated displays, exhibitions and premium commercial equipment | Greater visual impact for custom enclosures |
| 75" Open Frame Digital Signage | 75" | Large-format commercial terminals and custom kiosk projects | Most practical large-format starting point |
| Touchscreen Open Frame Digital Signage | Project-based | Interactive kiosks, self-service terminals and smart equipment | Adds touch while the customer supplies the final enclosure |
| System-Integrated Open Frame Display | Project-based | Android CMS, Linux embedded systems and Windows business applications | Combines display, computing, network and I/O |
| OEM Open Frame Display Assembly | Project-based within 10.1"–98" | Custom machines, private-label devices and commercial equipment | Customized mounting, cables, interfaces, system and packaging |
For many real projects, 75" is the most practical large-format option. A 98" display is usually the practical maximum for regular projects. A 110" display should be treated only as a special evaluation because cost, logistics and installation difficulty rise sharply.
Standard Open Frame Digital Signage is primarily designed for controlled indoor equipment. Storefront windows, direct sunlight, strong ambient light, semi-outdoor and outdoor projects require separate review of brightness, reflection, backlight heat, ventilation, enclosure protection, condensation and installation conditions.
Use High Brightness Displays as the environmental product route. When the customer already has the final equipment enclosure, continue to Open Frame High Brightness Monitors.
For companies that already design and manufacture their own standing or wall-mounted kiosk enclosure.
For beverage, food, retail and specialty vending machines requiring display, touch and system integration.
For parcel lockers, rental lockers, pickup terminals and service-access equipment.
For ticketing, registration, check-in, ordering and payment-terminal structures.
For product selection, shelf information, interactive catalogs and commercial fixture integration.
For information display and equipment integration; projects centered on industrial control or rugged operation should also review Industrial Panel PCs & Rugged Waterproof Terminals.
For embedded displays inside demo structures, exhibition walls and interactive event equipment.
For private-label equipment requiring customized mounting, software, interfaces, logo and packaging.
Suitable for smart lockers, payment terminals, vending machines, equipment panels and close-view interaction.
Suitable for mainstream kiosks, retail equipment, self-service machines and commercial terminals.
Suitable for wall-integrated displays, large kiosks, exhibition equipment and budget-controlled large-format projects.
Provides strong commercial impact while retaining better price, handling and customer acceptance than 86" or 98".
Suitable for high-budget projects with enough enclosure space, handling capacity and installation planning.
Can be reviewed technically for selected projects, but it is not a standard recommendation.
For large-format integration, the main limitations are often enclosure cost, packing, transport, lifting, installation access, serviceability and customer budget—not only display technology.
The final equipment drawing should define available width, height, depth, front opening and internal clearance.
The visible opening must match the LCD active area, bezel, cover glass and touch structure.
Rear brackets, side ears, holes, studs and support structure must fit the customer's mechanical design.
Power, USB, HDMI, Ethernet, serial ports and antennas need accessible, protected cable routes.
Touch sensor, cover glass, air gap or optical bonding, edge clearance and grounding affect mechanical fit.
Mainboard, power supply, LCD backlight and customer equipment heat must be considered together.
The customer should be able to reach connectors, boards, screws and replaceable components after assembly.
Large modules require handling points, protective packaging and a realistic local installation plan.
Open frame projects should begin with the customer structure, installation opening and mechanical constraints. The display size and rear architecture must fit the equipment—not the other way around.
Suitable for advertising, information, status display, equipment instructions and passive content playback.
Suitable for kiosks, vending machines, product browsing, ordering, user input and modern interactive terminals.
Can be considered for selected large-format projects where the enclosure and front structure can support the infrared frame.
Cover glass size, printing, logo, holes, thickness, sensor and controller can be reviewed around the customer's equipment.
Can improve optical appearance, reduce internal reflection and strengthen the display stack for selected projects.
Add touch only when the equipment workflow requires user input. Passive information displays should remain simpler and easier to maintain.
Suitable for CMS playback, browser content, Android applications, kiosk mode and cost-efficient connected terminals.
Suitable for controlled embedded applications, machine integration and custom system environments.
Suitable for enterprise software, kiosk applications, specialized peripherals and customer-managed x86 environments.
CPU architecture, operating system version, application permissions, video decoding, browser engine, peripheral drivers, update method and software responsibility affect the motherboard, interfaces, heat and mechanical design.

Open Frame Digital Signage is an integration-ready commercial display terminal designed to be installed into the customer's own enclosure, kiosk, machine, wall structure or commercial equipment.
A standard Digital Signage Display normally has a finished commercial housing. Open Frame Digital Signage focuses on embedded installation, mounting points, interface access and OEM integration.
A Floor-Standing Kiosk includes the complete standing enclosure and base. Open Frame Digital Signage does not include the customer's final kiosk body and is installed inside the customer's structure.
Common project sizes range from 10.1 inches to 98 inches, covering compact equipment displays, standard kiosk integration and large-format embedded commercial displays.
For many large-format Open Frame Digital Signage projects, 75 inches is the most practical starting point because it offers strong visual impact with better cost, handling and customer acceptance than 86 or 98 inches.
For regular commercial projects, 98 inches is usually the practical maximum because packing, logistics, handling, installation and project cost become more demanding above this size.
A 110-inch display can be reviewed as a special project, but it is not recommended as a standard option because price, transport, installation and availability become difficult for most projects.
Yes. Non-touch, projected capacitive touch and selected infrared touch can be reviewed depending on screen size, customer structure and application.
Yes. Android, Linux and Windows platforms can be reviewed according to CMS, kiosk software, customer applications, peripheral drivers and performance requirements.
Yes, subject to platform compatibility. APK installation, launcher control, automatic startup, permissions, Windows software, Linux drivers and update responsibility should be confirmed before sample production.
Selected compact platforms can support PoE. The PoE standard, available power budget, cable length, display consumption and network architecture must be confirmed.
Selected system boards can support USB, RS232, RS485, GPIO or other project-specific interfaces. Connector type, voltage, protocol, isolation and software driver must be defined.
Selected smart-terminal configurations can support these functions. When face recognition, access control or industrial control becomes the main purpose, the corresponding specialized terminal category should also be reviewed.
Standard Open Frame Digital Signage is primarily designed for controlled indoor integration. Window-facing, high ambient light, semi-outdoor and outdoor projects should use the High Brightness Displays or Open Frame High Brightness Monitors product route.
Yes. Mounting brackets, holes, cable direction, interface positions, rear structure, cover glass and mechanical fit can be reviewed for OEM projects.
This page is intended for customers who already have their own enclosure or equipment structure. A complete custom enclosure can be reviewed as a separate OEM project, but a finished standing product belongs to the Floor-Standing Kiosks category.
Please provide screen size, active area requirement, enclosure drawing, available installation space, touch requirement, operating system, software, interfaces, mounting method, environment, quantity, destination and project schedule.
The customer enclosure, mechanical dimensions, mounting points, cable exits, interface positions, touch structure, software, heat path, power, network and responsibility boundaries should be confirmed before sample production.
Send us the screen size, customer enclosure drawing, opening dimensions, available depth, touch requirement, operating system, software, interfaces, environment, mounting method, quantity, destination and target schedule.
We will review the mechanical fit, display, touch, system platform, interfaces and OEM integration scope.
Open frame projects require early mechanical and electrical confirmation. The display must fit the customer's enclosure, interface layout, software environment, thermal path and final installation structure.
Please share your application, display size, quantity and project background. We will review the most practical display direction.
