Custom TFT-LCD
We are uniquely equipped to design and manufacture TFT-LCDs for highly bespoke specifications. Our team designs customized pixel patterns, resolutions, mask arrays, glass dimensions, polarizers, retarders, and TFT driving electronics.
Global Collaboration
Our exclusive relationship with Kyocera Display in Japan allows for unprecedented collaboration of research and development, guaranteeing access to state-of-the-art TFT manufacturing at the Kyocera facility in Yasu, Japan. Using a Gen 3.5 manufacturing infrastructure, the product line is versatile in its ability to support both LTPS and aSi technologies.
Self-Monitoring Capabilities
Custom display interface boards (DIBs) are available for bespoke TFT-LCD orders. This critical electronic component provides signals to the LCD glass integrated row and column drivers. Our DIBs include built-in-tests to report abnormal system functions on a high-reliability field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) platform. These self-monitoring capabilities are essential in safety-critical applications and are a part of hardware design strategies to satisfy any RTCA DO-254 requirements.
Ultimate Efficiency
Cevians manufacturing infrastructure is perfectly dimensioned for products of 20”x20” or smaller with low to high volume demand fulfillment capabilities. Our close collaboration and integrated engineering development practices result in the lowest minimal upfront tooling cost and minimum order requirements in the industry.
Highly Customized
Cevians’ capabilities include designing aSi or low-temperature Poly Silicone in-plane switching technologies or TN. We also customize color filters to optimize the chromaticity of the final product for a given backlight spectral characteristic.

Ruggedized Color AMLCD and LED-Backlight Illumination for Night Vision Applications
A series of near-IR absorbing polymeric filters have been designed to meet the requirements for NVIS compliance defined by MIL-STD-3009 and the recommended black screen requirements set forth by the US Navy. This paper will discuss the limitations of the mil-spec when night vision performance is evaluated in the laboratory and not in application. This report addresses and quantifies the luminance, color rendering, and NVIS performance of 3 ruggedized displays currently being flown on aerospace platforms with four different NVIS filters.
