LCD displays are ubiquitous in all sorts of applications because they have become a standard as technology is moving forward. They can be divided into two formats: Industrial LCD Displays and Consumer Displays. They are both for the same reason of sharing information, however industrial LCD display needs more rigour about the stability, environment withstand and durability than consumer displays.
1. This means of course, to be stable: Can They Work Well if Continuously Tasked?
Industrial LCD Displays operate for 24/7 without interruption, often in industry automation platforms, 5G base stations, and outdoor terminal components. These have to be highly reliable under a range of harsh conditions, which include wide-temperature ranges, high humidity levels, and significant vibration to last many years.
On the other hand, Consumer Displays (phones, TVs, and computers) are generally used indoors or in known conditions. Though they can work longer distances, since these are not stressed as often, stability in the long term is much lower.
Industrial LCD Displays are built to withstand harsh environments, extremely wide temperature ranges (-40°C to 60°C), dustproof and UV protection. These have anti-glare layers, are made to be waterproof or dust-proof, and use thermally stable materials ensuring they keep working well in environments where a consumer display goes off.
Consumer Displays are mostly optimized to run more stable in indoor environments (less environmental pressures). As such, they are seldom exposed to the same nature of harsh conditions as is the case with industrial-grade displays. For this reason, consumer displays are generally not shielded and therefore inadequate to use in a harsh environment.
Industrial LCD Displays are designed for longevity, using superior quality components and structures overall. They are built to last, even with heavy use. These displays should be good for many years with little or no maintenance.
Now, Consumer Displays are often built for a life shorter than the other, and this comes as the "rapid" advancement of consumer electronics. The consumer devices have an adequate lifespan; however, this is not something that industrial applications are optimized for.
