Industrial Open Frame Monitors for Embedded Equipment
Open frame industrial monitors with stepped-front or no-front-bezel designs, available in touch and non-touch versions from 7 to 32 inches. Choose a standard model or an OEM/ODM configuration for industrial machines, kiosks, EV charging equipment and other embedded applications.
Integrated Into Your Equipment Enclosure
Open frame monitors are installed within the equipment enclosure, with the display aligned to the front-panel opening. Depending on the selected structure, the monitor can sit behind the panel or be positioned within the opening by a stepped front frame.
The monitor and customer enclosure form the finished front assembly. Internal brackets, mounting ears or frame holes secure the unit, while connector access is retained for installation and servicing.
Start with a standard open frame model or configure the frame, fixing layout and cable direction to match your equipment design.
Typical rear-side installation. The model drawing defines the opening, fixing positions, rear depth and finished display level.
Choose the Right Front Structure for Your Equipment
Choose a stepped front frame for protected, sealed and flush integration, or a bezel-free structure designed to fit behind your equipment front panel.
Stepped Front Frame
The stepped front frame protects the front edge of the monitor and provides a defined surface for positioning and sealing it within the equipment opening.
The front structure can be coordinated with the equipment panel to create a flush or pure-flat appearance. With suitable front glass, gasket and enclosure design, the assembled front can also be designed for IP65 protection.
No Front Bezel
The monitor is installed behind the customer’s equipment panel, allowing the display and enclosure to form one integrated front assembly.
This structure gives equipment designers greater freedom to integrate the display into different enclosure designs. The customer front panel provides the finished appearance, front-edge protection and sealing.
Open Frame Monitor Options for Different Equipment Designs
Select a standard open frame model as your starting point, then configure the items that need to match your equipment and application.
| Selection | Available options |
|---|---|
| Screen size | 7–32 inches |
| Front structure | Stepped front frame or no front bezel |
| Touch | Projected capacitive, resistive or non-touch |
| Brightness | Standard, high-brightness and sunlight-readable options |
| Interfaces | HDMI / VGA / DVI / DisplayPort, depending on model; USB / RS232 touch |
| OEM/ODM | Frame, brackets, glass, brightness, interfaces, cables, labels and packing |
Individual model pages provide resolution, brightness, touch, interface and operating specifications. For non-touch projects, send the required size, brightness and interface for model matching.
Interface availability and connector layout are confirmed with the selected open frame monitor model.
Match the Monitor Connections to Your Host System
Open frame monitors are available with HDMI, VGA, DVI and DisplayPort inputs, depending on the selected model. USB or RS232 can be provided for touch communication.
We can review your mainboard or controller output, then match the monitor input, power connection and cable arrangement to your equipment.
- Video input matched to the host controller
- USB or RS232 touch communication
- Power input and connector selection
- Connector position and cable exit direction
- Custom cable type and length for internal routing
Configure the Touch Screen and Front Glass for Your Application
Choose projected capacitive touch, resistive touch or a non-touch display according to the operator, control method and working environment.
The cover glass can be configured to match the equipment opening, visible area and required front appearance.
- Custom cover-glass outline and thickness
- Printed border, logo and edge processing
- AG, AR and AF surface-treatment options
- Air bonding or optical bonding
- PCAP glove operation and water-rejection tuning
For a pure-flat front, the glass outline and printed border can be coordinated with the customer panel and sealing design. For touch-panel-only projects, see our industrial touch screen solutions.
Touch performance is configured with the selected glass, bonding structure, controller and operating conditions.
Check the Enclosure Fit Before Finalizing the Design
For an open frame monitor, the installation drawing is as important as the display specification. Confirm the opening, fixing method, available depth and cable space before the enclosure is released for production.
Opening & Visible Area
Confirm the enclosure opening, display active area, required visible area and, where applicable, the cover-glass border.
Fixing & Finished Level
Check mounting holes, brackets, panel thickness and whether the front surface should finish flush, recessed or slightly raised.
Rear Depth & Service Access
Allow enough internal depth for the monitor, controller, connectors and service access without interference from other components.
Connector & Cable Direction
Confirm connector positions, plug clearance, cable bend radius and exit direction before the internal layout is frozen.
A 2D drawing, 3D file, enclosure sketch or marked housing photo is usually enough to begin the mechanical review.
Open Frame Monitors Built Into Your Equipment
Each configuration is matched to the enclosure, operating environment and user interaction required by the finished equipment.
Kiosks & Vending Machines
PCAP touch displays integrated into the equipment front panel, with durable custom glass, secure mounting and service access for frequent public operation.
Industrial Machines
Displays integrated into machine enclosures, with glove-capable touch, stable video connections and cable routing matched to the control cabinet.
EV Charging Terminals
Sunlight-readable touch displays with optical bonding, custom cover glass and glove or wet-touch tuning, coordinated with the charger’s front sealing and thermal design.
Inspection, Test & Laboratory Equipment
Open frame displays integrated behind instrument panels, with controlled visible areas, clear image visibility, stable interfaces and repeatable mounting for consistent equipment builds.
Start with a Standard Model or Build an OEM/ODM Configuration
A Faster Starting Point for Sample Testing
Choose an existing model when the screen size, brightness, interface and mounting structure already suit your equipment.
A standard model provides a practical reference for checking the opening, internal space, image output and touch operation in your equipment.
View Open Frame Touch ModelsConfigured Around Your Equipment
When the equipment requires a different front structure, fixing layout, glass, brightness, interface or cable direction, we can review an OEM/ODM configuration around a suitable display platform.
Available project items include frame outline, mounting holes, brackets, cover glass, touch settings, interface layout, cables, labels and packing.
Send Your Equipment Requirements for Review
Send your equipment drawing, opening dimensions, available depth or a marked housing photo. We will review suitable standard models and identify the items that can be configured for your project.
A sample can then be used to confirm the mechanical fit, display output, touch response and connector access in the actual equipment.
Useful Details to Send
