Real stories of innovation and execution
Medical
Engineering Collaboration
A leading medical device company approached us with a unique challenge: they needed a custom-shaped LCD display that could fit into a handheld diagnostic instrument, with strict requirements for low power consumption and high sunlight readability. Our engineering team worked closely with their R&D department, developing a new backlight solution and optimizing the display’s driving IC for lower energy use. Through several rounds of rapid prototyping and frequent technical exchanges, we delivered a fully customized LCD module that not only met their size and brightness requirements, but also extended battery life by 20%. The new device was launched on time and received highly positive feedback from end users for its clarity and usability.
Industrial
High Reliability in Harsh Environments
A global industrial automation company needed an LCD display that could withstand extreme temperatures and constant vibration on factory floors. Their previous displays frequently failed, leading to downtime and costly maintenance. Our engineering team worked with their technical staff to redesign the LCD structure, using reinforced glass and advanced sealing technology. We also implemented a wider temperature-tolerant driver IC. The new solution passed rigorous reliability testing and reduced the customer’s field failure rate by over 80%, saving significant maintenance costs and improving their production uptime.
Consumer Electronics
Smart Home Integration / Design + Cost Optimization
A fast-growing smart thermostat startup approached us to create an aesthetically clean, ultra-low-power LCD for their battery-operated smart home controller. The challenge was to combine icon-based UX with minimal power draw, all within a tight mechanical footprint. Our design team collaborated closely on layout optimization, and we proposed a custom segment LCD with a reflective mode design (no backlight required), paired with an efficient SPI interface controller. This helped reduce standby power consumption significantly. By eliminating backlight components, we also lowered BOM cost. The result was a sleek, modern product that contributed to the customer’s successful tender and now installed in over 30,000 homes.
