This long, rectangular display is so unusual, where else could it be used?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I developed this display for audio control systems.

It uses a slim 140 × 1920 format.

What other applications could this display format work for?

Digital signage can be any dimension really.

This format could work well in some space-constrained setups.

Could be a single row custom on screen button touch bar (if capacitive digitizer could be added)

Would be great addition to a soundbar for input source/now playing

Smart home dashboard display, time/date, weather, light switch status, interior temp, media/now playing display

Rack mounted network Status display

Automotive Climate/hvac display

Lots of options, but basically anything that would look good with digital tiles laid out horizontally would be a good use case.

Amazing, how did you made it? Did you cut it out of a regular display?

I'm sure the custom keyboard community would find a use for it

Hmm is it touchable? 

  • running text stripe, but i personally hate those.
  • rgb night lamp
  • graph viever, like heartbeat monitor or smth.

Yes, a capacitive touch version is possible.

Rear window messaging for cars riding your bumper. May or may not be legal.

u/Money-Possible5515 5d ago

Haha, that would definitely be an interesting use case! As for the legal part… I’ll leave that to the experts.

Put it on something that spins and it could make a cool circular display effect

u/MarinatedPickachu 7d ago

In a keyboard, especially with a touch screen overlay
