Services
FPD.DEV provides display engineering, optical bonding, ruggedization, process development, repair support, and technical documentation for companies working with LCD, OLED, and specialty display systems.
Our work is focused on practical solutions for demanding applications where visibility, reliability, documentation, and manufacturability matter. We support clients ranging from companies that want to bring display enhancement processes in-house for low-volume specialty production, to organizations developing fully automated processes for high-volume automotive, industrial, aerospace, and consumer products.
We also work with more than a dozen companies whose business model is built around enhancing displays, helping them improve processes, evaluate materials, solve production issues, select suppliers, and develop reliable methods for optical bonding, backlight enhancement, ruggedization, and related display technologies.
Display Optical Enhancement Development Services
FPD.DEV helps companies develop, improve, and bring display optical enhancement processes into production. This includes optical bonding, cover glass integration, touch panel integration, contrast improvement, sunlight readability, backlight enhancement, ruggedization, and related display technologies.
We work with a wide range of clients, from OEM display manufacturers and major aerospace companies to small family-owned businesses that need practical, right-sized technical support. Some clients want to bring display enhancement processes in-house for low-volume specialty production. Others need process development support for high-volume automotive, industrial, aerospace, or consumer display applications.
FPD.DEV has assisted more than a dozen companies that enhance displays as a business model. We help evaluate materials, define process controls, improve yield, identify production risks, select suppliers, develop tooling concepts, and create reliable methods for demanding optical and environmental requirements.
Typical support includes:
- Optical bonding process development
- Cover glass and touch panel integration
- Sunlight readability improvement
- Contrast and reflection reduction
- Backlight enhancement and brightness improvement
- Ruggedization for harsh environments
- Material and supplier evaluation
- Process troubleshooting and yield improvement
- Tooling and fixture concepts
- Low-volume in-house process setup
- High-volume automation planning
- Documentation, training, and quality controls
Development Services
FPD.DEV supports the larger display development ecosystem beyond optical enhancement. We help companies design, prototype, integrate, and document the hardware, software, mechanical, and process elements that surround specialty display systems.
This work may include embedded microprocessors, single-board computers, controller hardware, custom software, display enclosures, mechanical fixtures, test equipment, rugged mounting systems, and prototype assemblies. We can help move a project from rough concept to practical prototype, or support an existing product that needs redesign, improvement, repair, or production support.
Our development services are especially useful when a display must be integrated into a rugged environment, adapted to an existing enclosure, controlled by custom electronics, or supported with practical documentation and manufacturable design details.
Typical support includes:
- Embedded microprocessor and SBC hardware integration
- Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and similar platform development
- Display control software and user-interface support
- Mechanical fixtures and test setups
- Rugged display enclosures
- Brackets, adapters, bezels, and mounting hardware
- 3D modeling and CAD design
- In-house prototyping and 3D printing
- Prototype assembly and fit checks
- Controller board and interface evaluation
- Custom cable, harness, and integration planning
- Documentation for quoting, manufacturing, and repair
Process and Handling
Displays are easily damaged by poor handling, contamination, pressure points, cleaning methods, and uncontrolled work practices. FPD.DEV helps companies develop practical handling, inspection, and process controls for LCD, OLED, cover glass, bonded assemblies, and related components.
We can help define how displays should be received, inspected, cleaned, stored, assembled, tested, packed, and protected throughout production or repair.
Typical support includes:
- Display handling procedures
- Cleaning and inspection methods
- Scratch, dig, and cosmetic inspection guidance
- Workstation and fixture recommendations
- Packaging and protection review
- Operator training materials
- Process troubleshooting
Display Driver Design
FPD.DEV supports display-driver and interface development for custom or replacement display applications. We can help evaluate display interfaces, controller boards, backlight drivers, power requirements, firmware needs, and integration risks.
For applications where an off-the-shelf controller is not enough, we can support custom PCBA direction, firmware planning, supplier coordination, and technical review of display-driver solutions.
Typical areas include:
- LCD and OLED interface review
- HDMI, LVDS, eDP, MIPI, and custom interface planning
- Backlight driver review
- Brightness and dimming control
- NVIS/day-night control concepts
- Controller board selection
- Custom PCBA and firmware coordination
3D Modeling and CAD
FPD.DEV provides 3D modeling and CAD support for display assemblies, enclosures, brackets, fixtures, tooling, and integration hardware. We can help convert ideas, sketches, measurements, or existing parts into practical 3D models and drawings.
This is especially useful when a display must be adapted to an existing enclosure, mounted into a legacy system, ruggedized for field use, or prepared for quoting and production.
Typical CAD support includes:
- 3D models of display assemblies and components
- Mounting brackets and adapter plates
- Cover glass and bezel layouts
- Tooling and fixture concepts
- Prototype-ready drawings
- Manufacturing and inspection documentation
Technical Documentation
FPD.DEV creates and improves technical documentation for display products, processes, repairs, and quality systems. Good documentation helps communicate requirements clearly, reduce errors, support production, and preserve technical knowledge.
We can help turn engineering knowledge, repair experience, drawings, photos, and process steps into usable controlled documents.
Typical documentation includes:
- Work instructions
- Inspection procedures
- Repair procedures
- Assembly instructions
- Test procedures
- Quality records and forms
- Supplier requirements
- Technical specifications
- Drawing notes and manufacturing guidance
Operational Excellence
FPD.DEV helps small and technical organizations improve how work is planned, documented, measured, and controlled. The goal is not bureaucracy. The goal is practical systems that make quality, delivery, and technical execution more reliable.
Support may include reviewing current processes, identifying production issues, improving documentation flow, clarifying responsibilities, and creating useful quality records that support ISO 9001-style expectations.
Typical support includes:
- Process review and improvement
- Quality documentation
- Internal audit support
- KPI development
- Corrective action support
- Work instruction and traveler development
- Practical ISO9001 and AS9100 alignment
Repair
FPD.DEV provides display repair and repair-support services for selected LCD, avionics, marine, industrial, and specialty display applications. We can help evaluate damaged or obsolete display assemblies, identify practical repair paths, and support refurbishment or replacement strategies.
Our repair background includes legacy and rugged display applications where replacement parts may be limited, documentation may be incomplete, or the original manufacturer may no longer support the product.
Typical support includes:
- Display failure evaluation
- LCD and backlight replacement planning
- Interface and controller review
- Mechanical fit and adaptation
- Repair process development
- Obsolescence support
- Avionics, marine, and industrial display repair guidance
