Discover how customizable passenger information displays (PIDs) meet global transit needs. High brightness (1,000–5,000 nits), rugged designs, bulk pricing. Free quotes & samples.


Why Customization is Critical

For Off-the-shelf solutions often fail to address challenges like ‌extreme weather durability‌, ‌multi-language support‌, or ‌real-time data integration‌.

‌Yes—customization is not just possible but essential.‌ Here’s how advanced LCD technology meets global demands.


 passenger information displays


1. Hardware Tailored

‌Brightness & Readability‌: 1,000–5,000 nits for sunlight visibility in outdoor stations or airport tarmacs.

‌Build‌: IP65/IP69K-rated enclosures, anti-vibration mounts, and -30°C to 80°C operation.

‌Size and Form‌: Curved, ultra-wide, or modular designs for seamless integration into trains, buses, or terminals.


‌2. Software & Connectivity‌

‌Real-Time Integration‌: APIs for syncing with GPS, IoT sensors, or transit management systems.

‌Dynamic Content‌: Multi-language switching, emergency alerts, and live occupancy updates.

‌Remote Control‌: Cloud-based management for content, brightness, and diagnostics.


3. Compliance & Safety‌

‌Global Certifications‌: EN 45545-2 (fire safety), UL 752 (ballistic resistance), ADA/EN 301549 (accessibility).

‌Energy Efficiency‌: Meet EU Ecodesign/Energy Star standards to reduce operational costs.

‌Industry Applications: Custom PIDs in Action‌

‌Airports‌: 4K “flight walls” with multi-timezone clocks and multilingual baggage claim updates.

‌Railways‌: 32”–55” curved displays with anti-glare coatings for tunnel lighting and live delay alerts.

‌Smart Cities‌: Solar-powered bus stop screens with real-time route changes and emergency messaging.

‌Case Study‌: A Middle Eastern metro reduced passenger confusion by 45% using ‌custom PIDs‌ with Arabic/English bilingual updates and touch-free gesture control.

RisingStar Engineering Team

Display engineering, thermal design & technical documentation — Shenzhen, China

The RisingStar Engineering Team is the technical core behind every display we ship. Based at our 4,000 m² ISO 9001-certified facility in Shenzhen — home to a Class 10,000 cleanroom — our engineers have specialised in high-brightness, sunlight-readable LCD technology since 2009, covering optical design, thermal management, structural sealing and system integration.

Working directly with Tier-1 panel partners including LG Display, AUO, INNOLUX, BOE and Tianma, the team tunes luminance from 500 to 5,000 nits, engineers IP65/IP66 enclosures, and validates 24/7 performance across a -20°C to 70°C operating range with a service life of up to 50,000 hours. Every unit leaves the line under 100% factory inspection — from 7" panels and open-frame modules to 100" outdoor totems and ultra-wide stretch bars.

Our engineers also write and review the articles published here. Instead of paraphrasing marketing material, they draw on hands-on deployment experience in outdoor advertising, retail window displays, EV charging, transportation PIDS, food processing and industrial HMI — so specifiers and integrators can choose hardware on verified figures.

  • Since 2009 17 years of display engineering
  • 4,000 m² facility ISO 9001 certified, Class 10,000 cleanroom
  • 500+ clients Delivered across 50+ countries
  • 500–5,000 nits IP65/IP66 · -20°C to 70°C · 50,000 h lifespan
