This guide helps a buyer choose an LCD module category. It works at category level: display category, touch type, size range and system category. It does not choose a single model, and it does not publish a specification table.
Selection guides are most useful when they prevent a premature narrowing. A buyer who narrows to one model before confirming the category often has to restart the enquiry. This guide keeps the enquiry at category level until the supplier confirms the applicable details.
Step one: settle the display category
Start with the display category: TFT LCD panel, UART LCD module, system LCD module or video LCD module. Each category has its own page with its navigation size range. Read the category page first, and note the size range that fits the project in general terms.
Do not treat a size step as a model choice. A size step narrows the browsing range; the model choice, if one is needed, comes after supplier confirmation.
Step two: settle touch and system questions separately
Next, settle touch separately: is a touch panel needed, and if so, capacitive or resistive. Then settle system questions separately: is a system category relevant, and if so, which one. Keeping those questions separate avoids the common error of assuming that a display choice already fixed the touch and system choices.
The comparison page for capacitive and resistive touch screens helps with the touch question at category level. The Android and Linux category pages describe the two system categories as category labels with size ranges.
Step three: confirm before ordering
Finally, put the category, size range and touch or system type into one enquiry, and ask the supplier to confirm the applicable details in writing before ordering. Please confirm minimum order quantity, lead time and warranty terms before ordering.
That confirmation step is the guide's most important recommendation. Everything on this site is organised to make that step easy: categories first, confirmation second, and no single-model specification published in between.
