Door Header Displays That Tell
Passengers Where to Step Off
Ultra-slim stretched LCD units mounted above carriage doorways — where every rider looks. Built to EN 50155 rail standards, sized to your door beam, and open to any PIS controller.

What it is
The screen above
the door
A carriage door header display is a long, narrow information screen mounted in the beam above each passenger door. Its job is simple and constant: show the next stop, the line, the destination, and surrounding service alerts where every boarding and alighting passenger is already looking.
On modern rolling stock the unit is a stretched-bar LCD — a wide, short panel with an aspect ratio far from the familiar 16:9. Sizes typically run from 19" to 43", with widths matched to the door beam rather than to a catalogue.

Positioning
Where the decision actually happens
info
A ceiling display keeps the whole carriage informed between stops; the door-header display is where the boarding and alighting decision is made. As the doors open, every passenger checks the same thing — is this my stop, which side opens, where do I transfer. The door header sits at the exact point of entry and exit and carries the next-stop, door-side, and transfer detail in the shortest, most-read line a passenger sees.

Integration
An open display,
not a locked system
The unit speaks Ethernet and LVDS to your existing PIS controller and CMS. We supply the screen and the ruggedization; you keep your software, your content, and your roadmap. RisingStar is a hardware OEM/ODM, not a PIS systems integrator. Vehicle builders and PIS suppliers get a compliance-ready, drop-in display unit they connect to their own controller and content system, without being tied to proprietary software.

Frequently asked
Everything you need to know about specifying Door Header LCD Passenger Information Display hardware.
01
Do you supply the passenger information software?
No. We supply the display hardware. The unit connects to your existing PIS controller and CMS through open interfaces.
02
Can the display be sized to a non-standard door?
Yes. Width, aspect ratio, and single- or double-sided build are set per project through OEM/ODM from your vehicle drawings.
03
What rail certifications apply?
Designed and type-tested to EN 50155, EN 45545-2 and IEC 61373 (Category 1); CE / RoHS / FCC and ISO 9001 certified. Vehicle-level type approval is completed by the system integrator.
04
Does it work with our existing CMS?
Yes. Standard interfaces and M12 I/O let the display drop into an existing loom without re-platforming the PIS.
05
What is the warranty and working life?
Standard warranty is 3 years, backed by long-cycle after-sales: modules and boards are field-replaceable, so a fault is repaired in place rather than by replacing the whole unit. Several factors shape working life — the LED backlight (rated up to 50,000 h, L50), the panel, driver electronics and the duty environment among them — not the backlight alone. Our units are rated to an MTBF of 50,000 hours, based on our reliability test data.
