High Brightness Sunlight Readable Display Solutions for Airport Boarding Gates

With the continuous improvement of global airport operational management standards, information display systems at boarding gates are no longer simply infrastructure but a key component impacting passenger flow efficiency, security management, and service satisfaction. RisingStar, with over a decade of experience in high brightness industrial grade LCD display technology, has developed a professional sunlight readable display solution to address the strong lighting, high passenger volume, and high visibility requirements commonly found at airport boarding gates. This solution utilizes 5000 nits of ultra high brightness, an industrial grade direct lit backlight structure, and anti glare treatment to ensure that flight information, boarding instructions, flight changes, and other content remain clearly visible even in direct sunlight, significantly improving operational efficiency and the passenger experience. Furthermore, the display features all weather protection, high and low temperature resistance, and a 50,000 hour lifespan, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance costs and making it a reliable choice for airport operators seeking information system upgrades.

Use Case of High Brightness Sunlight Readable Screen at Airport

Why do airport boarding gates require high brightness sunlight readable displays?

In airport operations, boarding gates are critical nodes with dense passenger traffic, frequent information updates, and extremely high security requirements. Traditional display screens are prone to glare, poor visibility, and information misinterpretation in strong light or direct sunlight, directly impacting passenger boarding efficiency and service satisfaction. To address this pain point, high brightness sunlight readable displays have become a trend in information visualization upgrades at international airports. RisingStar's industrial grade high brightness LCD solutions boast brightness exceeding 5000 nits, stable operation over a wide temperature range, and all weather visibility. These solutions ensure accurate information transmission even in complex lighting conditions, effectively reducing the burden of manual guidance, improving passenger flow efficiency and emergency response capabilities, and ultimately achieving the digital, intelligent, and highly reliable development goals of airport operations.

How RisingStar Provides Professional High Brightness Sunlight Readable Display Solutions for Airports

In strong and complex light environments such as airport boarding gates, waiting areas, and outdoor docking areas, information display systems place extremely high demands on brightness, stability, and readability. Leveraging over a decade of experience in the development and manufacturing of industrial grade high brightness LCDs, RisingStar provides customized, professional grade high brightness sunlight readable screen solutions to airports worldwide, fully meeting stringent airport operating standards.

RisingStar's high brightness display products utilize a direct lit backlight structure, offering brightness levels ranging from 2500, 3000, 4000, and up to 5000 nits, ensuring clear readability of flight information, boarding instructions, and other content even in direct sunlight. They also offer high contrast, low energy consumption, low heat generation, and a lightweight design. Their all aluminum alloy construction makes them lighter and more corrosion resistant than traditional steel housings, making them suitable for all weather outdoor and semi outdoor deployments.

We offer a variety of product form factors, including display modules, open frame displays, front facing waterproof displays, and fully waterproof displays. Resolutions range from 2K to 4K, and support various aspect ratios such as 16:9 and 4:3. Standard sizes range from 10.1" to 110", while a variety of bar screen options are available, ranging from 14.1" to 86", covering a wide range of airport applications.

All products are IP66 rated and IK10 rated, meeting the stringent safety and environmental requirements of airports. Before leaving the factory, each device undergoes 240 hours of extreme temperature cycling testing from  20°C to 60°C, followed by 24 to 48 hours of operation, to effectively eliminate potential early failures and ensure long term stable operation in high intensity operational scenarios, with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours.

In addition, RisingStar supports OEM/ODM customization services, providing tailored display solutions for airports worldwide. These solutions are widely used in key areas such as gate passenger information display, baggage claim guidance, airport shuttle dispatch, outdoor navigation, and retail advertising. RisingStar is a reliable technology partner for building smart airport display systems.

High brightness sunlight readable displays in airports: Application Trends

With the continuous advancement of digitalization and intelligentization in airport operations worldwide, high brightness sunlight readable displays are becoming a core component of airport information visualization systems. According to a 2024 report by the Airports Council International (ACI), over 68% of international hub airports have deployed high brightness displays at boarding gates, docking areas, and baggage claim areas to address operational pain points such as strong light reflections, information retrieval errors, and inconsistent passenger experiences. Traditional commercial displays, with brightness levels between 300 and 700 nits, struggle to meet visual clarity requirements outdoors or in strong natural light environments. Information obscuration is particularly prominent in modern terminal designs with extensive glass walls.

RisingStar specializes in industrial grade high brightness display technology, offering sunlight readable displays with brightness up to 5000 nits, high contrast, and low energy consumption and heat generation. Its direct lit backlight design effectively reduces reflection interference, ensuring passengers can quickly access critical information regardless of their viewing angle or lighting intensity. Furthermore, its IP66 all weather protection rating and IK10 impact resistance make it suitable for a variety of complex deployment environments. For airport operators, this type of high reliability, high visual performance display solution not only reduces incidents of mis boarding and misguidance, alleviating service pressure, but also improves passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency. It has gradually become an industry trend and standard choice for enhancing the overall value of airport information release systems.
