A bar type TFT display is a long and narrow TFT LCD designed for applications where a conventional 4:3, 16:9 or square display cannot efficiently use the available space.
HOTDISPLAY provides custom and standard bar TFT displays with different resolutions, interfaces, brightness levels, viewing angles and operating temperature options.
 | What Is a Bar Type TFT Display?Bar TFT displays have an elongated aspect ratio. Instead of using a conventional rectangular screen, the display is optimized around a long, narrow active area. This makes the display particularly useful for:
|
A long display can fit into narrow equipment structures where a conventional screen would waste space.
The elongated screen can be used for:
|
|
|
HOTDISPLAY can develop unusual display dimensions around specific mechanical requirements.

HOTDISPLAY currently offers products such as a 4.0-inch 480×128 bar display measuring approximately 105.5 × 38.9 mm, designed for applications including instrument status indicators and equipment control interfaces.
Another HOTDISPLAY example is a 3.0-inch 268×800 bar TFT with IPS full viewing angle, 1000 cd/m² brightness and a -30°C to +80°C operating temperature range.
If you cannot find a standard aspect ratio that fits your product, HOTDISPLAY can evaluate:
Display dimensions → active area → resolution → interface → FPC → touch → backlight → mechanical integration
This is particularly valuable for equipment manufacturers developing a display around a predefined enclosure.
