Why Custom LED Displays Are a Good LCD Replacement: LED Display & LCD display Case Studies
The most common LED display application was in white goods or laboratory instruments to show simple characters like numbers and icons. It’s rare to have articles for other uncommon LED applications. OPTO PLUS presents two LED display applications:
- A Single color TN-LCD (twisted nematic liquid crystal Display) upgrade solution for LED Display.
- An RGB TFT LCD panel or RGB IPS LCD panel cost down solution for LED Display
We have collected two custom LED display case studies for the readers. We hope these cases inspire you for your own product design ideas.
A Single-color TN-LCD Display Upgrade Solution for LED Displays.
Custom LED displays could upgrade the traditional TN-LCD (twisted nematic liquid crystal) dashboards to RGB and multi-color dashboards to provide a better visual experience. An example of this is the dashboard upgrade from Gogoro 2 (TN-LCD Display) to Gogoro 2 Plus (RGB LED Display).
An RGB TFT LCD panel or RGB IPS LCD panel cost-down solution for LED Display
Custom LED displays can be a cost-down solution for RGB LCD displays. The tooling fee for LED displays with custom shapes is much less than that for RGB LCD displays. The price difference between Aeon AI-1 Comfort and Aeon AI-1 Comfort+ can serve as a reference for cost-down solutions.

FAQ
Custom LED displays can replace LCD displays in two main scenarios:
As an upgrade option: Custom LED displays have high saturation and brightness, making them an excellent upgrade for monochrome LCD displays to enhance the product’s visual experience. For example, the Taiwanese electric scooter brand Gogoro upgraded from the monochrome LCD dashboard on the Gogoro 2 to a multi-color custom LED dashboard on the Gogoro 2 Plus.
As a cost-saving option: A custom LED display can serve as a cost-down alternative to a full-color LCD display while still maintaining a good visual experience. This is especially true for displays with irregular shapes, where the development costs for irregular LCDs are significantly higher than for LED displays. For instance, the Taiwanese motorcycle manufacturer SYM offered a model in its Ai-1 series with an LED dashboard, providing consumers with a different choice.
Opto Plus has at least 10 custom LED display designs enter mass production each year. They offer custom LED display services and are happy to provide recommendations.
