Display Drawing

The VATN (Vertically Aligned Twisted Nematic) alphanumeric field
liquid crystal speedometer and odometer is a segmental digital
instrument that employs advanced VA type LCD technology. Its core
function is to digitally display the vehicle's speed and mileage.
Product Introduction
Display Technology (VATN)
- Belongs to VA (Vertical Alignment) liquid crystal technology (also
known as EBTN / Ultra Dark TN), operating in negative display mode
(black background with white text)
- Ultra-high Contrast: Contrast ratio up to 1000:1, far exceeding
traditional TN/STN screens with sharp boundaries
- Wide Viewing Angle: Approximately 170° (horizontal) / 110°
(vertical) without white or black appearance from driver's side
- Fast Response: Quick liquid crystal molecule flipping for smooth
dynamic digital content without ghosting
- Strong Environmental Adaptability: Wide working temperature range
(-40°C ~ 85°C) with good readability in strong light, no
temperature compensation needed
Display Structure (Segment Code Type)
- Fixed segment code / pen segment design instead of dot matrix
- Main Display Area: 7 segment digits (0-9) for speed (e.g., 188
km/h) and total/cumulative mileage (e.g., 99999.9 km)
- Symbol Area: Fixed icons (km/h, total mileage, TRIP cumulative
mileage, gear position, fuel level, warning light, etc.)
- Backlight: Standard high-brightness LED backlight
(white/green/yellow/blue selectable) for clear night visibility
Electrical Characteristics
- Low power consumption, DC drive, compatible with 12V/24V vehicle
power supply
- Receives Hall sensors / rotational pulse signals converted into
speed and mileage by internal chip
- Mileage data stored in non-volatile chips (EEPROM), retained when
power is off
Main Applications
- Automobile (Modified/Economy Type): Digital speed/mileage area on
dashboard or as additional instrument
- Special Vehicles: Forklifts, golf carts, off-road vehicles,
agricultural machinery, industrial/engineering vehicles
- Function Expansion: Besides speed/mileage, often integrates display
of voltage, water temperature, fuel quantity, speed, time, fault
codes
Core Advantages
- Clear and Readable: Black background with white text, high
contrast, wide viewing angle, clear in bright/dim light
- Stable and Reliable: No mechanical wear, shock-resistant,
temperature-resistant, long lifespan
- Precise: Electronic sensing, accuracy within ±0.5%
- Low Cost: Segment code screens cheaper than TFT color screens with
simpler driving

Frequently Asked Questions
I want the LCD display 8 digits and the outline size is
65x30x2.8mm?
No problem. Firstly, please kindly send us your
specification/drawing paper. If you don't have the specification,
you can also provide your samples; we will recommend the suitable
one if it is standard products. Or we can customize for you based
on your own requirement.
This LCD is just what we want, but it is big size, do you have any
smaller size? And the display content need to be changed a little.
For the segment type LCD module, if you need to modify the outline
size or display content, a new LCD glass module is needed. We have
to open new tooling for you.
This LCD display is HTN type, but I want STN type, can you make?
That's all right. We can change for you as per your request.
I want to customize a new LCD module. Can you do?
Yes, we can. Please send your drawing paper. If you don't have one,
please advise the outline size of the LCD display, display
information (Glass thickness, Polarizer, Display Type, Connector
mode, Storage Temp, Operating Temp, Supply Voltage, Viewing
direction, drive condition), we can customize for you.
What is leading time for tooling?
Generally speaking, it will cost 15 to 25 days after drawing paper
confirmation and tooling charge payment. We can report you the
exact time when you confirm the drawing paper.
Can you send us samples for checking?
Yes. Samples order is available.
What is the Leading Time?
If we have stock for the standard ones, the leading time is one day
after payment. If it is the mass production for special ones, the
leading time is about 15-30 days. If we can finish earlier, we will
report the information in advance.
