The "Smart Window" of Self-service Ticket Vending Machines

In today's pursuit of efficiency and convenience, self-service ticket vending machines have been widely distributed in subways, train stations, airports, cinemas, scenic spots and museums, becoming an important part of modern public services. As the core interface for human-computer interaction, the performance and selection of liquid crystal modules directly determine the user experience and operational efficiency of the ticket vending machines. This article will deeply explore the size selection, application scope and key role of liquid crystal modules in this industry.
1. Core Dimensions: Diverse options for adapting to different scenarios and functions
The size of the LCD module of the self-service ticket vending machine is not fixed. Instead, it is selected based on the application scenario, the complexity of its functions, and the installation environment. The mainstream size range is usually between 15 inches and 32 inches, and it can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Compact type (15 - 19 inches)
· Application scenarios: Wall-mounted or stand-up ticket vending machines with a small footprint, commonly used in places with relatively stable visitor flow and limited space, such as museums, art galleries, small cinemas, and community service centers.
· Function positioning: Primarily focused on completing basic ticket purchase and ticket retrieval functions, with a relatively simple interface.
2. Standard universal type (21 - 24 inches)
· Application scenarios: This is the most common size, widely used in mainstream public transportation scenarios such as subways, bus hubs, and railway stations.
· Function positioning: It can perfectly balance the amount of displayed information and the size of the machine. It is capable of clearly presenting complex route maps, ticket prices, payment prompts, and operation instructions, making it an ideal combination of functionality and cost.
3. Large interactive type (32 inches and above)
· Application scenarios: Large transportation hubs (such as international airports, high-speed railway stations), popular tourist attraction ticket halls, etc., where there is a large visitor flow and a complex user group (including international passengers).
· Function positioning:
· Information display priority: The large screen can simultaneously display multiple language options, detailed scenic maps, seat diagrams, rich promotional information, etc., providing more diverse service functions.
· Enhanced interaction experience: The larger touch area reduces the rate of incorrect operations, making it more friendly for the elderly and those unfamiliar with the operation.
· Brand image display: The large-sized screen has a more technological and impactful appearance, helping to enhance the overall image of the place.
