When I Pay for Tooling on a Custom Display, What Exactly Am I Getting?

When a customer invests in tooling with the payment of an NRE (non-recurring expense), they are not just paying for the option to buy a customized LCD display, they are investing in a LCD design of their own. A customized display that matches the customer’s requirements exactly – everything from form fit and functions down to the module colors, unique voltages, addition of headers and any other desired components (resistors, potentiometers, etc.) to make this a modified LCD module.

One of the most important, yet overlooked, values that come with a custom LCD screen is longevity. Investing in a custom LCD module can provide peace of mind. There are no more worries of having an LCD discontinued in the middle of the products lifespan, leaving a customer empty-handed with immediate requirements.

Custom display orders do tend to have a slightly higher MOQ than standard LCD’s modules. This is because the product is only being sold to one customer so each batch will need to be consumed entirely by this customer. A common solution to the MOQ’s of a custom LCD is the placement of a blanket order with kan ban releases. Aside from the tooling fee and MOQ there are virtually no differences between orders of custom displays and standard displays. Lead times have no increases and the unit cost is no higher than its relevance to other similar products.
