Round Displays: The Ideal Format for the HMI of the Future

 

Interest in circular displays is steadily growing, especially in sectors where ergonomics and design must integrate with advanced functionality. At First Components, we offer a wide selection of round modules based on STN LCDOLED and TFT technologies, available in various configurations: with or without capacitive touch, and with versions featuring a rotary knob and integrated encoder for complete, ready-to-use HMI solutions. The circular interface provides an elegant and functional replacement for traditional analog indicators, simplifying integration into modern products where aesthetics meet advanced technical requirements.

Key Technical Features:
  • STN LCDs with a wide selection of polarizers, suitable for industrial environments or low-power applications.
  • Self-emissive OLEDs with high contrast, viewing angles up to 175°, and low power consumption.
  • Resolutions up to 1080x1080 pixels on color TFT panels for detailed graphic interfaces.
  • Available with or without capacitive touch (PCAP), depending on the intended user interface.
  • Models with integrated encoder and knob, ideal for compact physical user interfaces in standalone or microcontroller-based embedded systems.

Typical Applications:
  • Compact HMIs for automation: machine control, HVAC systems, professional equipment.
  • Wearable and portable medical devices, thanks to their small size and energy efficiency.
  • Smart circular controls for advanced-design appliances (air purifiers, coffee machines, smart refrigerators).
  • Embedded systems in automotive applications, secondary infotainment, and dashboard controls.
