TFT screen power bank has been widely attractive by consumers and brands in recent years due to its versatility and touch screen interactive experience. Compared with 2023, the data in 2024 shows that its market demand has increased significantly. How to choose between digital screen and TFT screen when customizing power bank? The following is a discussion of the advantages of TFT screen, I hope it will helps.
Digital screens can meet basic display needs, including the display of power and fast charging status. In contrast, TFT color screens stand out with their novel design, diverse innovative functions and stronger sense of technology, which can quickly improve the grade of products. Its specific advantages are as follows:
一 Upgraded Interactive experience
1. Multi-function visualization
The TFT screen enables multi-functional display, provide showing charging status, charging power, operating temperature, battery cycle times, high and low temperature warnings, etc. (functions need to be developed). For example, Joway 140W two-way fast charging power bank, 130W high-power fast charging power bank, series of 100W power bank with retractable cable, etc. Joway Even unlock some interesting function like alarm clock, stopwatch, battery health, etc. The information presentation of the TFT color screen is more in line with the needs of high-end users for “precise power management”, adding fun to the interaction of power bank. The TFT display showcases real-time power management data, catering to high-end users’ demand for precision control, while its interactive interface enhances both functionality and engaging user experience.
2. Dynamic Visual Optimization
The TFT screen can be customized to achieve charging animation effects, presenting dynamic effect pictures when charging, visually combining industrial aesthetics and a sense of technology. For example, the dynamic energy ring design of the Joway JP365 power bank with a retractable cable adds personalized features to the product and injects new vitality into every charge.
二 Differentiation Drives Brand Premium
1. High-end positioning of materials and craftsmanship
TFT screens are usually used in mid- to high-end series of power banks with more functions, such as aviation-grade aluminum alloy shells (like anodized sandblasting processes), built-in retractable cables, phone holders, Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, etc.
It enhances high-end quality in terms of vision, touch, and function, presents a sense of technological product, and increases product brand premium.
2. Compatibility and safety endorsement
High-end TFT solutions are mostly equipped with smart cells, supporting fast charging protocols such as PD3.0, PD3.1, PPS, UFCS, QC, etc. The color screen displays the currently activated fast charging protocol in real time (such as PD100W/PD140W). When charging, the screen displays the temperature adjustment in real time. Additionally, there is a high and low temperature warning function, which, combined with overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuit protection safety assurance, thereby reinforces consumers’ trust in the brand’s technical strength.
3. Customized service
TFT color screens allow brands to personalize the user interface (corporate logos and brand colors) and discover more eye-catching and unique animation effects, helping brands create differentiated product lines.
三 Notes
1. Cost Structure Analysis
The cost of TFT color screen power bank is higher than that of digital screen. TFT color screens support higher-resolution color displays. In order to achieve this function, it needs to be equipped with a more high-performance MCU chip and a more complex circuit design. In addition, the production process of TFT color screens is more complicated than that of LED displays, and additional investment is required in UI design, chip upgrades, function development and debugging, and screen display function testing.
2. Patent Infringement Avoidance
Considering the OEM model of power bank, brand owners must evaluate whether the product UI interaction design has patents and actively review intellectual property risks. At the same time, the factory is required to provide proof of patent authorization. Additionally, the contract must clearly define intellectual property ownership to prevent market disputes with other brands and mitigate infringement risks.
TFT color screens are usually used in higher-end power banks, and their cost is relatively high. For brand owners seeking customized services, they can choose the appropriate power bank solution based on product positioning. Joway is a professional power bank OEM factory that provides a variety of TFT series options and supports OEM/ODM and gift customization services. Customers with needs are welcome to consult!
