The Stretched Bar LCD, also known as BAR LCD, Stretched LCD, or BAR LCD Display, is an advanced display technology designed for unique digital signage applications. With its elongated form factor, high brightness, and industrial durability, it has become a powerful solution for supermarkets, transportation hubs, hospitality venues, and corporate environments.
A Stretched Bar LCD is a modified LCD panel with an ultra-wide aspect ratio, created by resizing traditional LCD glass or through native wide-format panel manufacturing.
Aspect ratios like 16:3 and 32:9 make BAR LCDs fit for shelves and narrow spaces.
Brightness up to 1200 nits with 178° wide viewing angles.
Industrial-grade panels with LED backlight reduce power consumption.
| Feature | BAR LCD | Standard LCD |
|---|---|---|
| Aspect Ratio | 16:3, 32:9, customizable | 16:9 fixed |
| Thickness | Slim (mountable on shelves) | Thicker, limited placement |
| Brightness | 400–1200 nits | 250–500 nits typical |
| Applications | Retail, transport, hospitality | TVs, laptops, monitors |
Available in sizes from 8.6” to 86”, resolutions include 1920×120, 1920×540, 3840×720, and 4K stretched formats.
Stretched LCDs are highly versatile. Below are key applications:
| Industry | Use Case | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | Shelf-edge pricing and promotions | Supermarkets, convenience stores |
| Transportation | Timetables and passenger information | Train stations, airports |
| Hospitality | Menu boards, schedules | Restaurants, cinemas, hotels |
| Corporate | KPI dashboards and notices | Offices, factories |
| Healthcare | Medical equipment displays | Patient monitoring systems |
Compared with OLED, BAR LCD is more durable and cost-effective for 24/7 retail. Against LED panels, BAR LCD is slimmer and easier to integrate for shelf-level signage.
