Customized Stretched Bar LCD Panels for OEM Projects

What Is a Stretched Bar LCD Display?

A stretched bar LCD (also called stretched aspect ratio display) features non-standard horizontal proportions designed for space-constrained industrial applications. Unlike standard displays, these stretched bar LCD modules use ratios such as 5.33:1 (16:3) or 3.56:1 (32:9) to maximize horizontal visibility while minimizing depth.

Core Technical Specifications

Aspect Ratios: 5.33:1 (16:3), 3.56:1 (32:9), 12.15:1, and 24:1
Resolution Examples: 3840×160, 3840×1080, 1920×360, 1920×158
Physical Dimensions: 8.8" to 47.1" (customizable)

Technical Clarification: The term “32:9” is a common shorthand. The precise aspect ratio for 3840×1080 is 3.56:1 (3840 ÷ 1080 = 3.56). Industry professionals often use the decimal ratio for accuracy.

Why Industries Prefer Stretched Bar LCDs

Space Optimization: Fits narrow gaps (shelves, vehicle pillars, kiosks)
Enhanced Readability: Continuous content flow without horizontal breaks
Industrial Durability: Built for 24/7 operation in harsh environments

Applications of Custom Stretched Bar LCD Displays

Industrial Control Panels & Automation

High-brightness stretched bar LCD modules enhance operator interfaces in PLC systems. The continuous horizontal layout displays full production lines without scrolling.

Automotive Infotainment Systems

Custom stretched bar LCD panels fit dashboards and instrument clusters (e.g., 12.3"). Slim profiles integrate cleanly into vehicle architecture.

Retail Shelf & Checkout Displays

Replace paper tags with dynamic shelf displays (e.g., 19.2" for pricing and promos). At checkout, show full-width menus without vertical segmentation.

Transportation Information Systems

Subway and bus stations deploy stretched bar displays for real-time route maps and arrivals. The 3.56:1 ratio shows entire transit routes without breaks, improving comprehension.
