HMI displays

Mekoprint helps you select and integrate displays into industrial HMI solutions – from standalone display modules to solutions with touch, cover glass, keypads, front foils and mechanical build-up. Through our network of display partners and our experience in HMI design, we help you find a display solution that fits the application, production setup and long-term lifecycle of your product.

Display types and technologies

Different products require different display solutions. That is why we start with the application: what the user needs to see, where the product will be used, and how the display should work together with the rest of the HMI solution. We help you specify the right display based on requirements such as size, brightness, resolution, temperature range, interface, touch functionality and readability.

Examples of display types

TFT displays for colour graphics, dynamic user interfaces and modern HMI solutions
LCD displays for showing text, numbers, symbols and simpler graphics
OLED displays where contrast, compact design and visual quality are important
E-paper displays for low power consumption and static or slowly changing information
Touch displays with capacitive or resistive touch, depending on environment and use
Display modules with display, touch, cover glass or other adaptations

All displays are specified together with you to ensure the right performance, compatibility and availability.

Display sourcing with technical advice

We work with a broad network of close display partners. This gives access to relevant display technologies, adaptation options and technical clarification early in the process.

This is particularly important when the display needs to fit into a specific HMI construction – with the right interface, cable position, touch functionality, cover glass solution, brightness and long-term availability.

Integration options for HMI displays

The display can be integrated in different ways depending on requirements for readability, sealing, protection, tactility, cleaning, touch functionality and assembly. We help you choose the construction that fits the product’s use environment and the desired user experience.

Protective cover glass provides a smooth, robust and easy-to-clean surface. It is particularly relevant for PCAP touch and for products where the display needs protection against wear, moisture or dirt.
Optical bonding between display, touch and cover glass can improve readability, reduce reflections and strengthen the construction. It is particularly relevant for products used in bright light or demanding environments.
The display can be combined with membrane keypads, silicone keypads or fixed touch fields. This makes it possible to combine visual information with clear, tactile or fixed control.
We can integrate capacitive or resistive touch depending on the use environment, glove operation, cleaning requirements and desired interface solution.
Display, front layer, sealing, cable routing and fixation need to work together. The right build-up makes the solution easier to assemble and more robust in operation.

What you gain from an integrated display solution

An integrated display solution makes it easier to create an HMI where display, keypad, front layer and mechanics work together – in design, use and production.

More coherent design between display, front and control
Fewer components and interfaces to coordinate
Better control over tolerances and assembly
Lower risk of late changes
Clearer responsibility for the HMI construction
Better support for future component changes

Support from concept to series production

We can be involved early in the development process or join when the specification is already defined. Regardless of the starting point, we help create a display solution that fits the product’s function, construction and production.
