There are two classes of custom module design:

LAMPEX offers Semi-Custom & Full Custom LCD Design Supports in the LCD Modules Developments.

Semi-custom modules:

In semi-custom LCD module the PCB design of a standard module is modified to add LED indicator lamps, switches, keypad traces, cable assemblies, or other front panel components.

This approach reduced overall systems cost to the customer by eliminating need for customised PCBs and interconnects. It also eliminates the overhead costs involved in the sourcing and procurement of the front panel components and additional PCBs. The semi-custom module becomes a fully tested front panel assembly that can be installed into the customer's equipment without any further processing.

Full custom Modules:

Full custom modules are LCD modules with custom LCD panel, PCB, backlight and bezel. Such designs are typically undertaken for specific applications.

LAMPEX being a vertically integrated manufacturer of LCD modules do not have to rely on an outside design support for the custom LCD panels. This in itself reduces the development lead-time and keeps LAMPEX in full control of the LCD panel performance properties and the custom module development process.

CUSTOM LCDs or LCM PROCESS:

The custom module development process involves the following steps:

• Customer provides custom modules requirements.
• LAMPEX reviews customer requirement and proposes suitable approaches.
• The schematic is prepared in consultation with customer, which finally settles the intended functions, description, features and applications of the custom module configuration
• LAMPEX submits quotation for the design and development charges for the LCD module.
• Customer issues PO for custom module development
• LAMPEX prepares custom module drawing/spec for customer approval
• Upon approval LAMPEX commences module design.
• LAMPEX submits prototype samples and preliminary spec for customer approval
• Upon approval, LAMPEX issues final spec
• Production phase begins
