LCD modules have almost completely replaced traditional display systems, including the popular cathode ray tubes, from the field of medicine and sizeable industrial application to home security and domestic appliances. With the extensive use cases comes the need for innovation and reliability to ensure the modules serve the intended purpose efficiently. In turn, original equipment manufacturers find themselves entangled in the loop of need, cost, and other important considerations when sourcing for LCD module providers. This article aims to show small to large enterprise OEMs and individuals why STONE LCD modules appear as the best TFT LCD providers regardless of the industry you work in.
STONE is one of the giant Asian companies manufacturing unique, reliable, intelligent TFT displays for the modern market. Established in 2004, the company has 15+ years of experience in the design and production of high-end display systems for original equipment. From inception and into the foreseeable future, we seek to continuously update and polish STONE in-market products while still keeping in touch with changes in the industry that needs to release innovative products for the future. Thanks to STONE services' innovativeness and flexibility, STONE is now a common household name in the electronics manufacturing arena and specifically in the LCD category.
Below, we expound on some of the reasons why the STONE LCD module remains the best choice for the world's renowned original equipment manufacturers.
Experience and expertise
At Stone, quality is never compromised. We understand the quality of STONE display systems directly affects the quality of your products, and, as such, we hire top-of-the-class engineers to deliver high-end displays designed customized to your needs. Additionally, all STONE design and production processes from research, implementation to quality testing are carried out by an in-house team of professionals to ensure uniqueness and conformity to STONE stringent quality requirements.
Further, STONE customer support staff constitutes knowledgeable and highly professional individuals trained and devoted to giving you the best-in-class support for any queries you may have about STONE processes and products. Additionally, as an OEM, you will need assistance and probably training for your custom display module. This means that excellent communication from customer support channels is a necessity rather than an option for any LCD module provider.
Ease of use
As an original equipment manufacturer, you want your product to be easy to use for the end client. Therefore, you must ensure that you fit your devices with an easy-to-read screen, regardless of the illumination levels. STONE displays feature a high calibrated brightness and are consequently readable even under direct sunlight. If need be, the calibrated brightness levels can be ascertained in STONE manufacturing facilities either with the sample product or randomly picked items in your order. Also, all STONE manufactured screens are equipped with an intelligent brightness adjustment system that enables users to view images without straining, saves on power consumption, and increases the lifespan of the LCD considerably.
Our screens integrate easily with major development environments, including STONE own GUI development tools, which are a great way to get your team started producing custom GUI on a large scale.
The flexibility of product and service
With the STONE TFT LCD module, there are no limits as to where and how you can use your product. Over the years, we have produced custom LCDs for industrial-sized projects and small hand-held devices in distinguished industries, including the automotive, banking, health, and domestic appliance equipment. Further, the LCD can be programmed to suit different needs and functionality.
After-sales support
We view STONE customers as one of STONE valued assets and, therefore, endeavor to satisfy all your needs throughout pre-sale and after-sales. We do not abandon you to find your way around STONE products on your own. STONE customer support team is always ready to take care of the necessary configuration and preparation of the LCD and also give you basic training.
Additionally, all STONE products are covered by a three-year unlimited warranty policy covering product failure and damage. STONE warranty claim process is smooth with only necessary steps, unlike other significant manufacturers who require unnecessarily documented accounts for warranty claims. Once you register the warranty claim, STONE team will get back to you to assess the situation and decide the most appropriate steps regarding repair or replacement of the faulty products.
Our after-sales service includes a free GUI design software that can be used to develop varied application interface designs to suit your needs. We further offer you training on how best to utilize the STONE TOOLBOX GUI development package to create efficient and appealing system interfaces. We additionally offer to develop and produce a demo project with basic functionalities with which you can relate and further modify to suit your needs.
All STONE services are customer-centered. We interact with clients to ensure the best experience with STONE products, and hence STONE LCDs find their way to the best products in the market.
Low minimum order quantity (MOQ) and affordable prices
A decision to buy intelligent display modules in bulk should always be informed by the quality, reliability, and performance of the piece. Therefore, we do not require any OEM to enter into a bulk purchase contract unless they are aware of what they get. We allow manufacturers to order product samples, starting from as low as one item for every desired product. This is advantageous to any manufacturer who wishes to experiment and understand STONE technology before implementing it on a large scale. It is also beneficial to us as we prove the efficacy of STONE TFT LCD to potential customers and establish strong business relations based on trust and quality.
Also, STONE TFT displays are designed to be affordable even to individual developers and startup companies. STONE in-house operation model has helped us considerably reduce production costs, thereby giving you a chance to buy high-quality products at reasonable prices. For large scale OEMs, this translates to reduced business cost, which can, in turn, be transferred to your end users through the production of quality yet cheap devices and instruments.
Quality in less time
Before we deliver any intelligent TFT LCD modules to you, we must ensure that all the pieces in your order conform to the set regulatory standards. This is so to protect you from defective products and, at the same time, protect STONE brand image. All the products made in STONE facilities have to pass STONE top-of-the-class quality and performance checks before dispatching them to clients. Further, STONE state-of-the-art technology, coupled with adequate resources and workforce, enables us to produce a large number of products without compromising quality or delivery time. In a general sense, we have one of the shortest loading times, especially for bulk orders. STONE facilities can produce up to 100, 000 units of custom-made LCD modules every month
Our operations have received prestigious certifications from international bodies due to the quality, reliability of STONE products and services, and transparency of STONE processes. The significant certifications include ISO 9001 and the ROHS certification.
High refresh rates and screen uniformity
Screen refresh rates affect the quality of the images displayed and how people perceive your systems. Stone technology's LCD modules have high screen refresh rates that ensure high-quality images and transitions from one state into another. Also, the screen brightness of the stone LCD is uniform on all parts, and therefore the quality of the images rendered will not be affected by misconfigured light. Systems without this screen uniformity display blotchy images, brighter patches of the primary colors on some screen areas, and darker ones on the rest of the screen. As you would guess, this negatively affects your reputation as an original equipment manufacturer, which is not directly your fault but rather your LCD manufacturer's misdoing. With Stone technology, however, your devices will not suffer this condition, and your clients and end-users will likely hold you high above the competition.
Advanced functionality for screen management system
The screen management system featured in the STONE LCD modules goes beyond the basic functionality to include playback capabilities for both video and audio content. The screen management system also makes it possible to play 4K videos in full resolution and at a high refresh rate of about 60Hz. It can also render several images concurrently while maintaining the effects applied to each of the pictures. The screen can also be configured to show video data from various sources without affecting the quality of either video.
Self-aware technology
STONE LCD modules are manufactured with an intelligent, self-aware technology capable of monitoring screen temperature and supplied voltage, among other data vital for screen security and sustained lifespan. If any of the critical thresholds are exceeded, the screen management system can initiate, without human interaction, screen protection mechanisms, thereby regulating the temperature and voltage to normal working levels. This ensures users' safety by preventing failures and calamities, such as an explosion or fire.
Quality power consumption
We are much aware of different power consumption requirements and standards set out in various locales, and we continue to embrace and implement them in STONE systems. STONE TFT LCD modules are built with modern power supply units capable of achieving a 0.97 power factor throughout the screen’s active time. The module can handle different power sources, including 3-phase and single power supply channels. Also, unlike other TFT modules, STONE LCD is protected from overheating occasioned by a power surge.
Consistent performance capacity
One advantage of the STONE LCD module is its ability to maintain consistent performance levels with low power supply and low brightness levels. Even with as low as 1% illumination, the STONE LCD module functions effectively with little or no difference to cases where lighting is set to 50 % or above. From an honest point of view, this is quite a feat that has not been achieved by many other manufacturers.
Transparency and Trust
Every good manufacturer, not just Stone, should be transparent about their facilities and how they work to deliver quality to clients. Stone has already available information about the production facility on the official website and continues to provide further information required by clients throughout order placement, processing, and delivery.
On a different note, Stone has cultivated long term cooperation relationship with major industry players who trust the quality of STONE products and services. Some of the major partners we are currently working with include TATA, SIEMENS, BOSCH, and TOSHIBA. We have been developing TFT LCD modules for these companies and others for years with quality, transparency, and trust, which are part of the driving factors for STONE business relationship. We seek to establish further business relationships with OEMs at any business level in the forthcoming years to strengthen STONE market.
As a technology company, we are always in touch with market trends and customs. We understand that STONE growth depends on the partnerships we build and the trust we earn from satisfied customers. As such, we endeavor to provide STONE clients with the highest quality possible while maintaining STONE production costs reasonably low. To many of STONE clients, affordable prices mean that the end products run on top-notch technology and still sell at reasonable prices. The final products can thus compete favorably with the rest of the market without the risk of losing market share or trusted clients based on unjustified pricing.
With only a small yet powerful product line, we can monitor STONE products' development from the initial research stages through design to production and testing and, therefore, enforce quality standards throughout the process. We can reasonably say that only a few firms can do the same without compromising the quality and reliability of the products.
In conclusion, we would like to request you to take a keen look at the TFT LCD modules and make your observations about the major industry players, including Beijing's Stone Technology Co., Ltd. We believe you will find time to communicate with one of STONE representatives any time you need help with or are interested in buying display equipment for your original equipment project.
