For architects, chief engineers, elevator sales engineers and service engineers
A TFT colour display can give an elevator cabin a fresh look while making the screen useful for more than floor numbers and direction arrows. The right choice starts with two questions: what size suits the cabin, and what content does the end user want to show? Answering these first helps you choose a model that serves the purpose and fits the budget.
Start with the purpose Decide whether you need images, video or a networked multimedia display before selecting the model.
Size for the cabin Choose the screen according to cabin size, viewing position and available mounting space.
Buy the features you will use Match the display’s capabilities to your content and how often it needs to change.
Traditional seven-segment and dot-matrix indicators are familiar ways to show floor information, typically in a fixed format with limited colour options. A programmable TFT colour display gives greater flexibility in screen size, colour and layout.
Depending on the model, the screen can combine elevator information with a builder’s or elevator manufacturer’s logo, images, notices or video. It can become a useful communication space during the ride.
The display range described here spans 4 to 18 inches, with availability depending on the model. Screen size is measured diagonally; it is not the display’s width or height.
Select the size with the cabin and installation location in mind. Check the overall unit dimensions and mounting requirements in the datasheet, and consider how comfortably passengers can read the screen from their normal standing position.
| Model | Content and capability | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Quanta | Image display | Logos, notices and a sequence of still images. |
| Blaze | Video with audio, or images; without server connectivity | Video and image content where central server management is not required. |
| Elevista | Multimedia with elevator interface and server connectivity | Infotainment and advertising requiring central content management. |
Check the selected model’s datasheet for supported functions, available sizes and interface requirements.
Do I need multimedia capability just to show images? Not necessarily. If a sequence of images meets the purpose, assess Quanta before paying for additional features.
Is a larger display always better? No. The screen should suit the cabin, mounting space and viewing position. Check the unit dimensions as well as the diagonal screen size.
What should I check with the elevator team? Confirm the mounting arrangement, power supply and compatibility with the elevator’s floor and direction signals. Also confirm how content will be loaded and updated.
