Emulating Seven Segment Displays in Your Membrane Switch or HMI
Are you looking to integrate a seven segment display or displays into your interface but are encountering space constraints and/or trying to keep costs down?
CSI has years of experience emulating seven segment displays using LEDs, light guide film and light blocking features. We also utilize additional methods including light “piping” features within the layers of the membrane switch. We can integrate LEDs of any color and any window color to give you the exact aesthetic you are looking for in your product. The result is a thinner membrane switch package size at a much more cost effective price.
Advantages:
1. Thinner membrane switch package size.
2. More cost effective than using actual seven segment displays.
3. Can integrate into a flexible circuit (versus printed circuit board).
Of course, if you want to use actual seven segment displays that is also an option but will most likely require a printed circuit board design (versus a thinner flexible circuit) and an overall thicker membrane switch package. The CSI engineering team can assist you in this process in order to ensure you get exactly what you are seeking for your interface.
