WINSTAR Receives the Environmental Sustainability Award at the 2026 SGS ESG Awards
WINSTAR received the Environmental Sustainability Award at the 2026 SGS ESG Awards, held on November 3, 2026, in Taipei, Taiwan.
The award recognizes WINSTAR's continued commitment to environmental management and sustainable business practices, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into its operations.
Compact Display Options for Handheld Test & Measurement Instruments
Selecting a display for a handheld test and measurement instrument involves several design considerations, including available space, the type of information displayed, and how users interact with the device. Screen size, resolution, display technology, and interface requirements vary depending on the instrument and its intended use.
WINSTAR offers STN LCD, OLED, and TFT LCD modules in a range of sizes and configurations for handheld instrumentation. The following five models illustrate different display options, with key specifications and potential applications.

OLED vs. VATN LCD: What Are the Differences?
OLED and VATN LCD can both display bright characters on a black background, but they work in different ways. OLED pixels emit light directly, while VATN LCDs use liquid crystals to control light from an LED backlight.
For display selection, the differences go beyond appearance. PMOLED generally offers faster response times, while its power consumption depends on the number of illuminated pixels and their brightness. VATN LCD power consumption is influenced by backlight operation, and its suitability for long-term static content makes it worth considering for industrial interfaces.
The full article examines contrast, response time, power consumption, operating lifetime, and temperature considerations to help engineers evaluate which technology better fits their application.
PMOLED Applications and Design for 2U Server Local Monitoring Interfaces
For 2U servers, a front-panel display gives service personnel direct access to device identification, system status, and warning information during rack inspection and troubleshooting, without having to access a separate management interface for every basic check.
PMOLED displays offer high contrast, wide viewing angles, and a thin structure without a backlight. These characteristics make them a practical option for server front panels that primarily display text, icons, and status information. Display selection also depends on available space, information requirements, and long-term operating conditions.
WINSTAR recommends five graphic PMOLED modules for different 2U server front-panel layouts and monitoring requirements.
