| Display Performance | Panel Technology | TFT LCD with IPS or equivalent wide-viewing-angle technology for applications requiring stable image quality. | Confirm the panel structure, liquid-crystal mode, backlight type, and intended operating environment in the technical datasheet. | 8% | Check |
| Display Performance | Resolution and Pixel Density | The resolution should match the enclosure size, viewing distance, graphics requirements, and host processor capability. | Request the native resolution, active area, pixel pitch, aspect ratio, and a sample showing text and image sharpness. | 7% | Check |
| Display Performance | Brightness | Approximately 300–500 cd/m² is common for indoor equipment; higher levels may be required for outdoor or high-ambient-light use. | Review measured brightness at shipment condition and after any cover glass, touch panel, optical film, or bonding process. | 8% | Check |
| Display Performance | Contrast and Black Level | A static contrast ratio around 800:1 to 1,500:1 is a practical reference range for many IPS-type TFT LCD modules. | Verify the measurement method, test environment, viewing angle, and whether the value is typical or guaranteed. | 6% | Check |
| Display Performance | Color Reproduction | For standard applications, confirm sRGB coverage; for richer color requirements, evaluate a wider-gamut specification such as 72% NTSC or above. | Request color-gamut data, chromaticity measurements, calibration information, and sample images under controlled conditions. | 7% | Check |
| Display Performance | Viewing Angle | A typical wide-viewing-angle target is approximately 80° or more in each direction, with acceptable color and contrast shift. | Review viewing-angle test results and inspect the display from the actual installation position and user perspective. | 5% | Check |
| Reliability | Operating Temperature | Common industrial module specifications include approximately −20°C to +70°C; wider ranges may be required for vehicles or outdoor equipment. | Check the guaranteed temperature range, humidity limits, startup behavior, storage conditions, and temperature-cycle test results. | 8% | Check |
| Reliability | Lifetime and Backlight Stability | An LED backlight lifetime target of 30,000–50,000 hours is commonly used, subject to brightness-retention conditions. | Verify the definition of lifetime, luminance-retention percentage, drive current, temperature, and whether the value is tested or estimated. | 8% | Check |
| Quality Management | Quality System | A documented quality management system aligned with ISO 9001 is a useful baseline for controlled production and traceability. | Request the current certificate, scope, issuing body, expiry date, corrective-action process, and production traceability records. | 8% | Check |
| Quality Management | Inspection and Defect Control | The supplier should define incoming inspection, in-process inspection, final inspection, cosmetic limits, and pixel-defect criteria. | Review the quality agreement, inspection standard, sample approval procedure, nonconforming-product process, and shipment inspection report. | 8% | Check |
| Engineering Capability | Interface Compatibility | The module should support the host system's required interface, such as RGB, MCU, LVDS, or MIPI DSI, with compatible voltage and timing. | Validate pin definitions, timing parameters, initialization commands, logic voltage, connector specifications, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. | 7% | Check |
| Engineering Capability | Customization Support | A capable supplier should support mechanical drawings, FPC design, cover glass, touch integration, optical bonding, firmware parameters, and backlight changes. | Evaluate engineering response time, drawing accuracy, prototype process, design-change control, tooling ownership, and sample approval workflow. | 7% | Check |
| Compliance | Environmental and Market Compliance | Depending on the destination market, applicable requirements may include RoHS, REACH, CE, FCC, UKCA, or other sector-specific regulations. | Confirm the exact product model covered by each declaration or test report and check material documentation for the finished module. | 6% | Check |
| Supply Capability | Production Capacity and Lead Time | The supplier should provide a realistic sample, pilot, and mass-production schedule with capacity aligned to the forecast volume. | Compare stated lead times with purchase records, production planning, minimum order quantity, safety-stock options, and escalation procedures. | 6% | Check |
| Commercial Evaluation | Total Cost of Ownership | Compare more than the unit price: include tooling, engineering fees, testing, packaging, freight, warranty exposure, yield, and replacement cost. | Request a complete quotation with validity period, payment terms, tooling ownership, warranty terms, after-sales support, and price-adjustment conditions. | 6% | Check |
