Segment LCDs are widely used in fishing equipment, serving as the human-machine interface (HMI) display for devices such as smart fishing reels, fish finders, remote controls for bait boats, fishing scales, and fishing tackle boxes. Segment LCDs feature low cost, low power consumption, and high reliability, making them highly suitable for displaying critical parameters like numbers and fixed symbols.
Fishing equipment requires the display of fixed information, such as water depth, distance, line speed, battery level, mode indicators, etc. This information can be adequately conveyed using numbers, letters, and simple icons, which Segment LCDs can fulfill.
The advantages of applying Segment LCDs in the fishing equipment display field are as follows:
Low Power Consumption: Equipment using Segment LCDs (e.g., electronic fishing floats, smart fishing reels) is often powered by batteries or solar energy, which can significantly extend the device's battery life.
Clear Visibility Under Strong Light: Fishing is a typical outdoor activity. Segment LCDs can utilize ambient light, making visibility under direct sunlight even better than indoors.
Low Cost: As consumer electronics, cost control is crucial for fishing gear. The tooling and production costs for Segment LCDs are considerably lower than those for LCD dot matrix screens and TFTs.
Segment LCDs can meet the environmental parameters required for fishing equipment:
Wide Temperature Requirement: The significant temperature variations in fishing environments necessitate an operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.
UV Resistance Requirement: Fishing equipment often must ensure stability under direct, intense sunlight.
Vibration Resistance Requirement: Metal pins or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cables can ensure stability under vibration and impact.
