High-Brightness Outdoor LCD Displays for Passenger Information Systems

In modern transportation infrastructure, passenger information displays (PIDs) are critical for safety, efficiency, and user experience. RisingStar, a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade outdoor LCD screens, offers cutting-edge solutions tailored for public transit environments such as train stations, bus terminals, airports, and metro systems. These displays must operate reliably in harsh conditions—exposure to sunlight, temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration—while delivering clear, readable content at all times.

RisingStar’s high-brightness outdoor LCD screens are engineered for performance and durability. With a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits, these displays exceed industry standards, ensuring visibility even under direct sunlight—a key requirement for compliance with ISO 13406-2 and EN 50121 railway standards. Available in brightness options of 2,500, 3,000, 4,000, and 5,000 nits, they allow customers to match their deployment environment, from shaded indoor stations to fully exposed platforms.

The core technology behind RisingStar’s displays is a direct-lit LED backlight system, which delivers uniform illumination across the entire screen surface while maintaining energy efficiency. This design supports low power consumption—typically under 100W for standard 42-inch units—and minimizes heat generation, a critical factor for long-term reliability in sealed enclosures. Unlike edge-lit alternatives, direct-lit backlights eliminate hotspots and maintain consistent brightness over time.

Each display unit undergoes rigorous testing before shipment. A mandatory 240-hour extreme temperature cycle test—from -20°C to +60°C—ensures thermal stability and resilience in real-world operating conditions. Additionally, every unit runs continuously for 24–48 hours post-testing to identify and eliminate early-life failures, a practice aligned with IEC 60068-2 environmental stress screening protocols. This commitment to quality reduces field maintenance costs and enhances operational uptime.

Structurally, RisingStar employs an all-aluminum frame, making the units significantly lighter than steel-based alternatives while offering superior corrosion resistance. The lightweight construction simplifies installation and reduces structural load on mounting systems—particularly beneficial in retrofitting older transit hubs.

RisingStar specializes in three product formats: modular displays for custom integration, open-frame units for OEMs building their own enclosures, and fully waterproof complete systems—including front-facing waterproof models rated IP65 or higher. These are ideal for outdoor kiosks, digital signage, and wayfinding applications where dust, rain, and condensation are concerns.

OEM/ODM services are available, enabling transit operators and integrators to customize form factors, interfaces, touch functionality, and software integration. Whether deploying a single station or a nationwide network, RisingStar’s scalable solutions support both immediate needs and future expansion.

With a documented lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours—more than 5 years of continuous operation—these displays represent a long-term investment in smart mobility. Their combination of ultra-high brightness, low heat, lightweight design, and military-grade durability makes them the preferred choice for mission-critical passenger information systems worldwide.
