Today’s electronic products are expected to deliver not just performance, but also visually engaging and user-friendly interfaces. At DMC, we specialize in integrating displays and intuitive GUIs into embedded systems: bringing modern, touch-ready experiences to even the most resource-constrained devices.
From sleek consumer devices to rugged industrial equipment, our team is ready to take on the challenge of creating clean, responsive, and cost-effective user interfaces that set your product apart.
Display Technology Expertise
From segmented LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display) like those found in watches and other low-power devices, to full-color graphical LCDs found in large products, DMC is familiar with a variety of screen and touch technologies.
Additionally, even high-performance LCDs can be integrated into low-power embedded devices by utilizing advanced programming techniques and selecting the appropriate style of LCD to minimize power consumption.
DMC’s experts can add an LCD to your device, upgrade an outdated UI, or help you design a new embedded device with a GUI from scratch.
Our Areas of Expertise
- Character LCDs
- Segmented LCDs
- Monochrome and full-color graphical LCDs
- OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
- Resistive and capacitive touch technologies

FAQs
What is the difference between resistive and capacitive touchscreens?
Resistive touchscreens operate by detecting pressure, and they can be used with any object (finger, stylus). They are less expensive but offer lower sensitivity and clarity.
Capacitive touchscreens use the electrical properties of the human body to detect touch. They are more responsive and support multi-touch but require a conductive object (like a finger).
Can I use an LCD in outdoor environments?
Yes, but make sure to select a display with the appropriate brightness (higher nits rating) and environmental protection (like an IP68 rating) to withstand sunlight and moisture.
What is a segmented LCD?
A segmented LCD is a display that consists of distinct segments that can be activated to display numerical or graphical information. Segmented LCDs are commonly used in digital clocks, calculators, and various low-power embedded devices.
