What Is an Open Frame Monitor?

An open frame monitor is an industrial display module without a front bezel or rear housing — it consists of the LCD panel, controller board, and a mounting frame, designed to be integrated into a customer's own enclosure or panel cutout. Open frame monitors are used in custom HMI panels, kiosks, vending machines, medical devices, and specialised machine operator stations.

Avalue OFM Series: Key Features

  • Sizes available: 7", 10.1", 12.1", 15", 15.6", 17", 19", 21.5"
  • Touch technology: PCAP multi-touch (10-point), with optional resistive
  • Brightness: 350–1000 nits depending on model; high-brightness for bright factory environments
  • Front sealing: IP65 (when installed in cutout) — dust and water-jet resistant
  • Resolution: 1024×768 (4:3) to 1920×1080 FHD (16:9)
  • Interfaces: HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA (model dependent); USB Type-B for touch
  • Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C standard; −20°C to 70°C wide-temp option

Integration Considerations

Open frame monitors require a panel cutout sized to the display's active area plus a sealing gasket for IP65 compliance. Typical mounting is front-panel insert with 4-point or perimeter screw mounting to the enclosure backplate. The rear of the enclosure should allow adequate airflow for the monitor's internal cooling requirements.

TSL Automation supplies Avalue OFM series open frame monitors with local inventory for standard sizes. Custom brightness, interface, and temperature configurations are available on request — contact us for specifications and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an open frame industrial monitor?
An open frame industrial monitor is a display module without a front bezel or rear housing — consisting of the LCD panel, controller board, and mounting frame — designed to be integrated into a customer's own enclosure or panel cutout. It is used in custom HMI panels, kiosks, vending machines, medical devices, and specialised machine operator stations where a standard boxed monitor does not fit.
What sizes does the Avalue open frame monitor series cover?
Avalue open frame monitors are available from 7" to 21.5", covering all common industrial operator interface sizes. Touch options include PCAP multi-touch (10-point) and resistive touch for gloved-hand applications. Brightness ranges from 350 nits for indoor applications to 1000+ nits for high-ambient-light environments.
How do I mount an Avalue open frame monitor?
Avalue open frame monitors support panel-front mounting (installed from the front of the panel cutout), VESA mounting (standard 75×75mm or 100×100mm VESA pattern), and chassis mounting via side brackets. The mounting method depends on your enclosure design — panel-front mounting is most common for control cabinet integration.
What is the IP rating of Avalue open frame monitors?
Avalue open frame monitors have IP65 front panel sealing — fully dustproof and protected against water jets from any direction. The rear of an open frame monitor is open (not sealed) as it is integrated into the customer's enclosure. The complete system IP rating depends on the integration enclosure design.
