According to the 2025 China TFT Motorcycle Instrument Cluster Market Report, 5- to 6-inch TFT displays account for over one-third of the mid-range motorcycle instrument cluster market, making the 5-inch display the mainstream choice for most electric motorcycles and scooters priced between RMB 3,000 and 6,000.
However, selecting a display based solely on screen size is no longer sufficient.
Even among modules with the same 5-inch form factor, differences in backlight technology, display resolution, touch integration, operating temperature, and driver architecture can significantly impact readability, durability, manufacturing efficiency, and the overall riding experience.
To address the diverse needs of today’s two-wheeler market, TOPTE offers three differentiated 5-inch TFT LCD solutions:
- Standard IPS Display
- RGBW High-Brightness IPS Display
- Incell Touch IPS Display
Each solution is designed for different vehicle positioning—from cost-sensitive commuter models to premium smart motorcycles—helping OEMs optimize performance, cost, and user experience.
