What Is the Best Aspect Ratio for Bar-Type LCD Display?

Bar-type LCD display—also commonly referred to as ultra-wide or stretched LCD screen—are designed in a long, narrow format and are widely used in specialized commercial and industrial environments. Their unique aspect ratio allows them to fit into tight spaces and serve as effective information panels in a wide range of applications.

For example, bar-type LCD are frequently installed:

• Along the edges of retail store shelves to display product pricing and promotions.

• Inside public transportation systems such as buses, trains, and subway cars to show schedules, routes, or announcements.
  Their extended shape not only maximizes space efficiency, but also ensures clear and vivid visuals using advanced LCD technology.

What Is the Optimal Aspect Ratio for a Bar-Type Display?

The ideal aspect ratio of a bar-type LCD depends largely on its intended application. Below are some commonly used aspect ratios and their suited use cases:

Standard Aspect Ratios

• 16:9 (Widescreen)
  This is the most common aspect ratio for TVs and monitors today. It is ideal for multimedia applications such as video playback, digital signage, and advertising. A 16:9 ratio supports full HD and 4K content, delivering minimal black borders and a maximized viewing area.

• 16:10 (Productivity-Oriented)
  Slightly taller than 16:9, the 16:10 ratio is preferred for office work, design, and document viewing, as it offers a more comfortable visual experience for extended periods and better vertical space for editing tools or code.

Specialized & Custom Aspect Ratios

• 21:9 or Wider (e.g., 32:9 “Super Ultrawide”)
  These ultra-wide displays are popular in immersive settings such as:

  • Gaming (for racing or simulation)

  • Video editing, where the timeline view benefits from the extended width
    These formats allow users to see more content at once, enhancing both productivity and engagement.

• 16:3, 32:9, or Other Custom Ratios
  For environments like buses, subway systems, or elevators, custom aspect ratios such as 16:3 are often adopted. These formats provide the flexibility to:

  • Fit unconventional spaces

  • Display schedules, videos, or directional information all in one frame
    Custom ratios ensure content is tailored precisely for the architectural and operational constraints of the space.
