## Overview

### 18.5" Full HD HDMI touch display, one part number

The 18.5" HDMI TFT Touch Display is a complete assembly: an 18.5-inch IPS panel at 1920 x 1080, a projected-capacitive touch sensor behind 3.0 mm cover glass, and the driver board with the LED backlight driver on it. Video arrives over a standard HDMI cable, touch reports back over USB, and the module runs from a DC input.

At 900 cd/m² (nits) it is rated Enhanced Brightness on our scale, with a -30 ~ +80 (℃) operating window.

#### 3.0 mm cover glass over a 408.96 mm wide screen

The cover glass is 3.0 mm across the whole 408.96 x 230.04 mm active area.

The IPS panel holds its colour and contrast when the screen is read from an angle, and the module is specified over -30 ~ +80 (℃).

### Why a module instead of a bare panel

Built up from parts, this display would be a panel, a signal harness, a matching driver board, a backlight driver, a touch sensor, a touch controller and a supply for all of it — each a separate part number, a separate supplier and a separate qualification to redo when one goes end-of-life. Here they are one assembly.

- One video cable. Standard HDMI in to a 1920 x 1080 panel.

- Touch already fitted. The projected-capacitive sensor sits behind 3.0 mm cover glass and reports over USB — no separate controller board to mount and wire.

- Backlight driver included. The LED driver is part of the module, and the panel cable is fitted at the factory.

- One assembly to qualify. Panel, touch, driver board and backlight driver ship under one part number, from one supplier, with one revision history.

### Assembled and tested before shipment

Touch sensor and cover glass fitted, driver board mounted, panel and touch cables dressed, and every module functionally tested before it ships.

The board is part of the module part number, so panel, touch and board revisions move together and changes are notified under our ECN process.

### Where it is used

| Application | What this module brings to it |
| --- | --- |
| Self-service kiosks and public terminals | A 3.0 mm glass front face over a Full HD screen |

| Point-of-sale and order terminals | A 408.96 mm wide layout behind 3.0 mm glass |
| Machine HMI and operator panels | Full HD detail operated on the glass |
| Access control and building panels | A large touch front end driven from a standard HDMI source |
| Unheated plant and machine rooms | A -30 ~ +80 (℃) operating range |

### Recommended accessories

| Item | Part number | Length |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PCAP USB cable | 315-U004B15500 | 500 mm / 19.69 inch |
| PCAP USB cable | 315-U004B12A00 | 1000 mm / 39.37 inch |

### Customisation services

This module can be adapted, or swapped for a closer fit from the range. We hold over 500 standard models from 3.5" to 21.5" with 3–5 year lifecycle support, and we adapt them — or design something new — around the enclosure and the environment you already have.

| Level | What we change | When it fits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adapt this module | Cover glass thickness, shape and printing, surface treatment, optical bonding, touch tuning for gloves and water, backlight brightness, cable lengths and connector types, mounting pattern, branding and packaging | The 18.5" panel and the HDMI interface suit the design, and the fit to the enclosure needs adjusting |
| Re-specify from our range | A different size, resolution, brightness or interface — HDMI, USB-C, LVDS, MIPI, TTL — from the 500+ models we already stock and support | A neighbouring size, resolution, brightness or interface suits the design better |
| Design to your requirement | Custom driver board, custom mechanical, panel sourcing and long-term supply planning for your programme | The design calls for something outside the standard range, or has to stay in production for many years |

An early idea is enough to start from — we can look at a requirement and come back with feasibility, cost and lead time.

Whatever we agree — brightness, temperature range, mechanical envelope, cover glass, touch behaviour — is written down before anything is built, so the sample you approve is what later batches are made and inspected against.
