Rugged Displays
Fully sealed display systems that are designed, built, and tested for the most extreme environments.
Your trusted design-build manufacturer
Built with the most extreme environments in mind, DSE rugged displays deliver unmatched performance and endless customization options for every application. A rugged display is so much more than an LCD. Circuit boards are over-engineered, milled aluminum enclosures are hardened, software is redundant, and assembly is strict. From concept to qualification testing and full-rate production to configuration management, DSE designs and manufactures every subassembly to perform under stress. For over two decades, we’ve been a trusted partner to industries that operate in the most demanding conditions, including defense, aerospace, oil and gas, mining, agriculture, homeland security and many more. DSE’s unique display products can be found on amphibious defense vehicles, open pit mining haul trucks, combat helicopters, and in the cornfields of the midwest atop scientific agriculture machinery. Contact our team today to learn more about existing product lines, engineering capabilities, or case studies of these field-tested products.
Rugged Design
Hard anodized milled aluminum and fully sealed enclosures prevent damage in even the toughest environments.
Flexible Input/Outputs
From digital to analog, our products support all formats, resolutions, transfer speeds, and protocols.
Specialized Form Factor
From 5” to over 24” in size, our displays deliver as much data in the smallest footprint possible with countless mounting options.
