Engineering Depth

The In-House Display Engineering Infrastructure Your Program Demands

Designing and validating an HMI or LCD display system — whether a consumer appliance touchscreen, a commercial kiosk display, or a ruggedized industrial control panel — requires engineering depth that most contract manufacturers send out-of-house. Winegard owns the bench. Our electronics engineering lab and production floor provide the full development stack to design, integrate, test, and manufacture your display product in one facility.

WINEGARD CAPABILITIES STATEMENT

ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES OVERVIEW

DISPLAY PANEL INTEGRATION

TFT LCD, IPS, OLED, and e-Paper panel selection and integration across a range of sizes and resolutions. We engineer the full display stack — from panel and backlight assembly through timing controller configuration, interface protocol implementation (MIPI DSI, LVDS, RGB, eDP), and optical bonding for sunlight-readable applications.

TOUCHSCREEN & HMI INTERFACE DESIGN

Capacitive multi-touch and resistive touchscreen integration with glove-compatible and liquid-rejection firmware tuning. HMI interface design including button arrays, encoder inputs, membrane switches, and ruggedized tactile controls — engineered to your human factors and environmental requirements.

EMBEDDED PROCESSING & FIRMWARE

Full embedded hardware and software development for display controllers and HMI processors — from SoC and FPGA selection through BSP bring-up, display driver development, and application-layer GUI frameworks (Qt, LVGL, custom). All firmware developed and audited on U.S. soil with full source access.

EMC PRE-COMPLIANCE TESTING

In-house EMC pre-compliance screening for emissions and immunity — critical for display systems operating in electrically noisy industrial and vehicle environments. We identify and resolve radiated emissions issues from LCD clocks, backlight drivers, and high-speed interfaces before your unit reaches the formal test lab, reducing re-test cycles and schedule risk.

THERMAL & ENVIRONMENTAL VALIDATION

Thermal modeling and validation for extended temperature operation — a critical requirement for industrial, outdoor, and in-vehicle display applications. Environmental stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity exposure, vibration, and shock characterization to IEC 60068 and relevant commercial test standards, ensuring your product survives real-world conditions in the field.

OPTICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION

Luminance, contrast ratio, color gamut, and viewing angle measurement to validate display performance against specification. Sunlight readability analysis for outdoor and high-ambient-light environments — from retail kiosks to construction equipment cabs. Anti-reflective and anti-glare coating selection and validation to deliver the visual experience your end users expect.

Certifications & Compliance

Compliance-Ready.
Certified.
Market-Accessible.

Getting an HMI or LCD display product to market means navigating a certification landscape that spans electrical safety, emissions, environmental regulations, and industry-specific requirements. Winegard brings documented experience across all of them — managing pre-compliance through formal submission to shorten your path to revenue.

Standard	Scope & Relevance to Your Program
FCC Part 15	Class A and Class B emissions compliance for digital display devices. In-house pre-compliance screening for LCD clock emissions, LVDS/eDP interface radiation, and backlight driver harmonics - before formal lab submission through accredited U.S. test facilities. Reduces re-test cycles and accelerates your time to market.
UL / ETL Listing	Electrical safety certification required for retail channels, commercial installations, and most OEM supply agreements. Engineering support for IEC 62368-1 (consumer AV and IT equipment) and IEC 61010 (measurement and control equipment) compliance planning from the earliest stages of product design.
CE Marking	Mandatory for products sold into the European Economic Area. Covers EMC Directive (EN 55032 / EN 55035), Low Voltage Directive (EN 62368-1), and RoHS Directive compliance. Winegard's engineering team supports CE technical file preparation and declaration of conformity for display products targeting EU markets.
RoHS / REACH	Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and REACH chemical compliance requirements for consumer and commercial electronics sold in the EU and many global markets. Component qualification and bill-of-materials compliance review managed as part of the design process - not as a late-stage scramble.
UL 60950 / IEC 62368-1	The harmonized safety standard for audio, video, and IT equipment, replacing the legacy UL 60950 framework. Applies to most consumer displays, commercial HMI panels, and embedded display products. Winegard's design process incorporates safety requirements from schematic through final enclosure, minimizing surprises at the test lab.
IP Ratings (IEC 60529)	Ingress protection ratings for dust and liquid resistance - from IP54 splash resistance for light industrial and consumer outdoor products through IP65/IP67 for washdown and harsh environment applications. Gasket design, connector selection, and enclosure validation managed in-house against your target IP rating.
Energy Star / DOE	Energy efficiency certification relevant to display products sold into commercial and consumer markets in North America. Early-stage power budget analysis and display backlight efficiency optimization to support Energy Star qualification where applicable to your product category.
IPC-A-610	Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies - the industry standard for PCBA workmanship quality.

THE WINEGARD ADVANTAGE

One Partner.
Complete Execution.

HMI and display product leaders choose Winegard because we collapse the vendor map. Engineering, display integration, PCB fabrication, PCBA, mechanical production, firmware development, enclosure manufacturing, and final assembly — all under one roof in Burlington, Iowa. That means tighter feedback loops, faster iteration, and supply chain predictability that offshore manufacturing simply cannot match.

01 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED PRODUCTION

PCB fabrication and assembly, CNC machining, injection molding, metal fabrication, painting, and kitting — all in-house. No fragmented vendor chains, no hidden subcontractor dependencies, and no schedule surprises caused by a supplier three tiers deep that you've never met.

02 DISPLAY-LITERATE ENGINEERING TEAM

Our engineers have designed and validated display systems from chip-down — panel interface protocols, backlight electronics, embedded display controllers, and HMI firmware. When you bring a product to us, you're working with a team that speaks your language at every layer of the display stack.

03 DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP

With ongoing tariff and sourcing uncertainty on goods imported from overseas manufacturing hubs, a U.S.-partner to facilitate all aspects of sourcing, manufacturing, and assembly provides your business with the cost stability, sourcing visibility, and procurement agility your customers and your P&L both require. Domestic partnership is no longer just a preference — it's a competitive advantage.

04 YOUR IP STAYS PROTECTED

Your firmware, display driver designs, mechanical schematics, and GUI software stay in-house under your control. No sharing designs with overseas factories, no IP exposure risk, and no uncertainty about who else might be manufacturing your product or its derivatives.

05 ACCELERATED TIME-TO-MARKET

Handling overseas logistics, simplifying rework shipping cycles, and reducing time-zone coordination overhead compresses your development schedule by weeks or months. Our co-located design and manufacturing teams iterate fast — from first prototype to production-ready product configuration on a timeline that keeps your launch on track.

06 SCALABLE PRODUCTION CAPACITY

From prototype runs through volume production, our Burlington facility scales with your program. Rigorous quality systems, in-process inspection, and functional test fixtures ensure the thousandth display assembly performs identically to the first — whether you're building hundreds or tens of thousands of units per year.

07 DISPLAY PANEL SOURCING

While complete U.S.-only panel sourcing remains challenging, Winegard maintains relationships with domestic display distributors and integrators — as well as trusted Korean and allied-nation panel suppliers — to ensure a fully non-Chinese supply chain for customers where that's a requirement.

08 EMBEDDED & MIXED-SIGNAL SOLUTIONS

Beyond FPGAs, our engineers leverage proven mixed-signal and programmable SoC devices — including GreenPAK configurable mixed-signal ICs and Cypress PSoC programmable systems — to deliver custom logic integration at lower cost and smaller footprint than a full custom IC, without sacrificing flexibility or U.S.-friendly sourcing.
