Demand for sunlight-readable LCD screens surges: outdoor and industrial control applications drive advancements in high-brightness technology

With the rapid growth of applications such as outdoor self-service terminals, EV charging station displays, industrial handheld devices, and agricultural machinery instruments, the market demand for sunlight-readable LCD screens is experiencing explosive growth. Outdoor and industrial control environments require displays to remain clear and legible under intense ambient light. Mainstream solutions include high-brightness LED backlights (800–1500 cd/m²), optical bonding to eliminate air-layer reflections, and IPS wide-view-angle panels.
Kalaide Company recently announced that its high-contrast sunlight-readable LCD screens have entered mass production, covering mainstream industrial control sizes from 4.3 to 10.1 inches. The products are already being delivered in volume for applications including EV charging stations, outdoor parcel lockers, and agricultural drone remote controllers. The company stated it will continue expanding its product line into larger-sized, high-brightness display solutions.
The global outdoor display equipment market is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of approximately 12% from 2026 to 2030. Sunlight-readable screens represent a key breakthrough for entering high-value-added niche markets.
