Railway Display Hardware
Railway LCD Passenger
Information Displays
Drop in. No rewiring.
A railway carriage stays in service for decades through generations of passenger software; our displays drop into existing casings with the same connectors, so each upgrade is a swap, not a rewiring.
The railway asset
Built for decades, across a continent.
A railway carriage is an asset that outlives the software running on it. Across climates from −40°C to +70°C, the same display family rides for decades — swapped, not rewired, at every refresh.
so we specify per zone, not per train builder.

Brightness follows the line
A single railway mixes carriage, platform and curbside — we set brightness and sealing per zone.

Station & concourse
Real-time arrivals, station-wide
Station departure boards and concourse walls broadcast real-time arrivals and service alerts across the concourse. 1,000–3,000 nits with optical bonding keeps text sharp under station lighting.

LCD vs LED legacy
Across a railway’s mixed environments, LCD shows route maps, service alerts and video from one uniform panel — legible stepping from a dark platform into daylight. Legacy LED dot-matrix stays readable only for a fixed glyph board already specified; for the day-to-day information a railway carries, LCD is the forward path.
Open interfaces,
no lock-in
No locked software, no forced middleware.
We supply the display hardware and the open interfaces — SDK/API, HDMI, LAN and serial (M12 where specified) — so our panels drop into your existing railway PIS and CMS without a forklift upgrade.
we never lock you to one software stack.

Frequently asked
Everything you need to know about specifying Railway LCD Passenger Information Displays hardware.
01
Will one display type fit our mixed fleet?
Yes. M12 and screw-lock connectors are rated for rail vibration, and one slim family covers regional, intercity and high-speed stock.
02
What is the warranty and service model for onboard units?
3-year warranty plus a long-cycle after-sales programme; modules are field-serviceable so a carriage returns to service fast.
03
Are onboard units rail-certified?
Built to EN 50155 / EN 45545-2 / IEC 61373 Category 1; final vehicle approval is carried by your integrator.
04
Can our PIS and journey-planning software drive them?
Yes. Open SDK/API and standard interfaces mean no locked stack — your existing software controls the screens.
05
What happens if a data feed drops in a tunnel?
The display keeps the last valid information on screen and resumes automatically when the link returns.
06
Can we keep our existing signage controller?
Yes. Open interfaces let our screens work with the controller you already run.
