Four factors affecting display prices

Four core information that affect the price of display screens - size and resolution, operating temperature, brightness requirements and purchase quantity.

1. Size ≠ price, resolution is also critical. Many people think that the price of display screens depends only on the size, but this is far from the case. Take 10.1 inches as an example: 800×1280 and 1280×800, although both are 10.1 inches, the price may differ by several times. Going up, there are products with 1920×1200, 2K and even 4K resolutions. The higher the resolution, the different the fineness of the screen, the material requirements, and the production process, and the price naturally widens the gap. Therefore, the question "How much is a 10-inch screen?" is actually incomplete. The size + resolution must be confirmed together, which is the basis for the quotation.

2. The operating temperature range determines the "durability" of the screen. Are you using it indoors, or in a high temperature or severe cold environment? This will directly affect whether you choose a consumer-grade, industrial-grade, or automotive-grade screen. Consumer-grade display screen: 0℃ ~ 50℃, suitable for ordinary home or office environments. Industrial-grade display screen: -20℃ ~ 70℃, suitable for industrial control and outdoor equipment. Automotive-grade display screen: -30℃ or even -40℃, the upper limit can reach 85℃, and the reliability requirements are extremely high. The operating temperature is not only a performance indicator, but also the key to determining the material and technical threshold. The wider the temperature range, the higher the price, which is a general rule in the industry.

3. Different brightness requirements, huge cost gap If your product is to be used outdoors or placed in a strong light environment, such as medical equipment, outdoor advertising machines, etc., the brightness requirement is a key parameter that must be clarified. The standard brightness for consumers is about 300 nits; the common brightness for outdoor or special industries is 500, 800, 1000 or even 1500 nits. The higher the brightness, the more complex the backlight module and heat dissipation solution used, and the more obvious the impact on cost. So please be sure to set the brightness standard in advance according to your usage scenario.

4. Purchase quantity directly affects the unit price In the display industry, purchase volume is the "hard currency" that affects the price. For example: buying 1 piece, buying 100 pieces, and buying 10,000 pieces, the quotation can differ by a whole price range. The material procurement, mold opening, testing, and manpower in the production cost can all be diluted with the quantity. You tell us not "how many pieces do I want", but "I want to do a project, what is the estimated annual usage", then we can give you a price that is truly valuable for reference.
