Edge Electronics is heading back to Display Week 2026, and this year, we're bringing more LCD Solutions to the booth than ever.

Organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), Display Week is the premier global event for the display industry,  bringing together engineers, innovators, and industry leaders to explore the latest advancements in display technology.

JDI and OLEDWorks have announced plans for advanced display manufacturing in the United States. Here is what OEMs should know now and what to watch next.

When a major display manufacturer announces plans to expand manufacturing in the United States, OEMs have a good reason to pay attention.

For military and defense OEMs, finding the right display technology can be one of the most critical and challenging parts of system design. Displays must not only deliver high performance in extreme environments but also remain available and supported for the full lifecycle of a defense program.

As an authorized distributor of LCD Solutions, Edge Electronics specializes in providing rugged and enhanced display solutions designed to meet the stringent requirements of military and defense applications.

When sourcing an industrial LCD display, choosing the right industrial LCD supplier is just as critical as selecting the right panel.

Industrial environments demand displays that can withstand temperature extremes, vibration, dust, and long lifecycles, but the wrong supplier can lead to mismatched specs, discontinued panels, or costly redesigns.

This guide walks you through the key factors to consider when evaluating industrial LCD suppliers to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Your device is approaching submission. Validation is lining up. Then an EOL notice lands for the LCD at the heart of your HMI. For medical OEMs, this is more than a sourcing hiccup. It can mean re-validation, documentation churn, supplier audits, production delays, and field-service risk.

The core issue is lifecycle mismatch. Medical devices must be supported for a decade or more. The vast majority of LCDs refresh on much shorter timelines. The answer is not endless alternates. The answer is lifecycle design and proactive monitoring that keeps your program stable from day one.

In today's global manufacturing landscape, sourcing LCD Solutions can often feel like navigating a minefield - especially when it comes to meeting strict Country of Origin (COO) requirements.

For many OEMs, contract manufacturers, and purchasing teams, there is growing scrutiny around where LCD modules are made, particularly when customers or regulatory agencies require LCD products that are not of Chinese origin.

Whether it's due to compliance restrictions, tariffs, government contracts, or company policy, many organizations are actively seeking display solutions that are manufactured or assembled outside of China.

But with so many display products being sourced from Chinese factories, how can buyers ensure compliance while still maintaining quality and competitive lead times?

Extended lead times. Component shortages. Lifecycle uncertainty.

For OEMs that rely on industrial LCDs, these supply chain obstacles can jeopardize timelines, drive up costs, and create unnecessary headaches for both engineering and procurement teams.

At Edge Electronics, we specialize in delivering dependable LCD Solutions that help OEMs overcome these challenges - whether you're sourcing for new product development or trying to sustain long-term production.

We serve as an extension of your team, offering both technical support and procurement ability through every stage of the LCD lifecycle.

Last week, Edge Electronics made a strong impression at SID Display Week in San Jose, where we highlighted our offering of display technology solutions.

Edge Electronics is excited to announce that we are once again returning to Display Week this year to showcase our LCD Solutions.

Organized by Society for Information Display (SID), Display Week is the premier event of the display industry that brings together industry professionals, innovators, and thought leaders to discuss emerging trends, network, and explore the latest advancements in display technology.
