Since 2022 DATA MODUL offers for the first time special displays suitable for night vision. In accordance with the MIL-STD-3009 standard, these meet all requirements for the emission properties of lighting and display devices in aircraft that are necessary for operation at night. This makes them ideally suited for use in aerospace applications, for example.

Best values: The 55" monitor from DATA MODUL's Narrow Bezel series has achieved the outstanding classification "A2-s1, d0" in the course of fire behavior tests conducted by the Materials Testing Institute for the Building Industry in Braunschweig (MPA-BS). "A2" expresses that the monitor is classified as "non-combustible with combustible components".

Growing with requirements: On request, DATA MODUL can equip individual display solutions with additional components/features such as camera, RFID, proximity sensors, ambient light sensors or barcode scanners.

For a perfect touch experience, DATA MODUL uses innovative touch technologies: from Projected Capacitive (PCAP) to Resistive Touch (RTP) and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) to infrared technology.

DATA MODUL products could even be found in the end customer segment. Starting in 1998, 42" plasma TV sets were produced for the end customer market and sold as OWM products.

Thanks to decades of expertise, DATA MODUL can efficiently realize even complex system solution requirements - even under challenging environmental conditions. In the past, even the submarines of the German Navy were equipped with particularly robust 20" rugged monitors by the Munich display experts.

DATA MODUL has a wide range of embedded components at its disposal like hardly any other company. And as a long-standing partner in the field of embedded computing, there are now a total of four different CPUs to choose from: Intel (from third to 12th generation), AMD, NXP and Rockchip (up to 4.6GHz, from single core to 16-core).

Starting as a display distributor, DATA MODUL has developed into a leading partner for customized display solutions. And so today "customizing" is one of the core competencies of the company, which can already look back on more than 700 customer-specific designs in the last decades!

The right interface(s) play an important role in HMI systems. They not only determine how a display can generally be connected or integrated, but are also largely responsible for performance and efficiency. DATA MODUL offers a total of nine different interfaces for the connection between the embedded system and the display: RGB, DVI, DP, eDP, HDMI, USB Type C, MIPI, LVDS and V-by-One.

In addition to state-of-the-art products and innovative technologies, DATA MODUL also offers a wide range of software solutions. The portfolio includes a wide variety of solutions for applications optimized for specific areas of use as well as a wide range of operating systems such as Windows, Linux and Android.

On the occasion of the 1972 Olympic Games, CONRAC GmbH, which today belongs to DATA MODUL, equipped the Munich Olympic Stadium with a full-matrix display board.

In November 2020, DATA MODUL received the "Innovator of the Year" award in the category “Optoelectronics / Display” from the renowned trade magazine Design & Elektronik for its hybrid bonding.

As an embedded expert, DATA MODUL has a particularly extensive portfolio of the latest embedded components. A total of 16 different embedded SBC and SoMs standard form factors are available to customers!

DATA MODUL stands for sustainable and efficient growth - together with customers, partners and suppliers. And so intensive partnerships and supplier relationships have already existed for several decades.

Low power consumption, extremely wide viewing angles and excellent readability even in bright environments: E-paper displays offer numerous advantages that make them interesting for applications. But did you know that e-paper is also bistable? Bistable means that power is only required for the image change. After that, the display content remains visible for a long time even without further power supply.

Real eye-catchers: thanks to their unusual design, curved displays attract a lot of attention. By the way: The maximum radius of a J-Curved display that can be realized at DATA MODUL is 650mm.

In hygienically sensitive areas, particularly strict requirements apply to the components used. DATA MODUL is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13485:2016 for the manufacture of medical components and also offers a wide variety of alternative operating methods such as gesture control or voice control.

More about solutions for the medical sector

DATA MODUL's display solutions are particularly resistant even under harsh environmental conditions. The L3 monitors, for example, in sizes 57", 65" and 40", have been tested according to Canadian military standards and can even successfully withstand underwater explosions of up to 60G.

In order to be able to see screen contents effortlessly at all times even under bright ambient conditions, readability can be improved by means of optical bonding, for example. By applying an adhesive layer between the display and the cover glass, the air-filled gap is filled, which changes the light refraction behaviour. Even in direct sunlight, content can be reproduced perfectly.

DATA MODUL has been developing in-house PCAP solutions since 2008 and offers numerous bonding and touch technologies. This includes SITO touch technology (Single-Sided-ITO), in which the edge of the touch sensor can be reduced to a minimum of just 30/20µm line/space gap.

More about the different touch technologies

As one of the largest and most versatile optical bonding providers in Europe, DATA MODUL offers all bonding processes in-house. Bonding a 15-inch display, for example, takes less than 60 seconds thanks to modern bonding machines.

Internationally in use: In 1998, the maXcs FIDS software developed by DATA MODUL was installed at a total of 18 Greek airports. Many monitors with GEB controllers are still in use and operated with the current software version.

In order to optimally prepare bonding surfaces for bonding processes, the so-called plasmatization process takes place beforehand. This is an air purification process in which 10 quadrillion reactive particles per second hit the component surface and activate it - creating perfect conditions for further bonding processes.

More about our company

The name DATA MODUL comes from the business idea of data processing.
DATA stands for data that must be processed - MODUL stands for the modules that are necessary to record, process and pass on information. In combination, therefore, "DATA MODUL".

The first own products were developed together with the battery manufacturer Batron. These were small, alphanumeric and graphic LCD modules.

More about our own display products

At the beginning of its company history, DATA MODUL was an electromechanical specialist. The first products in the portfolio were electrical components and switches.
