NV116WHM-N45 BOE 11.6" TFT-LCD screen 1366*768 Display

BOE NV116WHM-N45 11.6-Inch TFT-LCD Panel

The NV116WHM-N45 is an 11.6-inch a-Si TFT-LCD display module manufactured by BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (Beijing Oriental Electronics, . BOE is the world's largest manufacturer of TFT-LCD panels by volume, supplying display modules to major laptop, tablet, and industrial equipment brands globally. The NV116WHM-N45 is part of BOE's notebook/laptop panel lineup and is also widely adapted for industrial HMI, rugged tablet, and embedded display applications due to its 11.6-inch form factor, eDP interface, and wide viewing angle ADS technology.

About BOE Technology Group

BOE (BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd.,  is a Chinese multinational semiconductor display manufacturer headquartered in Beijing, China. BOE is the world's #1 manufacturer of LCD panels by shipment volume, producing panels for smartphones, tablets, laptops, monitors, TVs, and industrial/medical applications. BOE's display technologies include ADS (Advanced Super Dimension Switch) — their proprietary IPS-equivalent wide-viewing-angle technology — as well as OLED, flexible displays, and mini-LED backlights. Major global brands including Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Huawei source display panels from BOE.

Display Technology: ADS — BOE's IPS-Equivalent

The NV116WHM-N45 uses ADS (Advanced Super Dimension Switch) technology — BOE's brand name for their IPS (In-Plane Switching) equivalent LCD mode. ADS delivers:

• Wide viewing angles of 85/85/85/85 degrees (CR>=10) — consistent image quality from all directions, critical for collaborative or angled viewing in industrial settings

• Better color consistency compared to TN (Twisted Nematic) panels — colors do not shift significantly when viewed off-axis

• Higher transmittance than standard IPS, enabling competitive brightness levels at lower power consumption

• Normally Black mode — the LCD blocks light in the unpowered (black) state, delivering deeper blacks and higher contrast than Normally White panels

Technical Specifications

Weight Data Integrity Note

The invshop listing shows a weight of 1.000 kg for this product. However, the official BOE NV116WHM-N45 datasheet (Hefei Xinsheng Optoelectronics Technology, Rev P.1, 2017) lists the weight as approximately 200g (0.2kg). This 5x discrepancy is significant. The 1.000kg figure may be a data entry error — possibly confused with a different package weight or a pallet quantity. The actual panel weight is approximately 200g. Buyers should plan for the correct weight of approximately 0.2kg per unit when calculating shipping costs.

Signal Interface: eDP (Embedded DisplayPort)

The NV116WHM-N45 uses an eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) 1-lane interface with a 2.7Gbps link rate and a 30-pin connector. Key considerations:

• eDP vs. LVDS: Unlike older laptop panels that use LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling), eDP is the modern standard for internal laptop/tablet display connections. eDP carries higher bandwidth in fewer lanes and integrates the timing controller (TCON) more efficiently.

• 1-lane eDP: The single-lane configuration is suitable for 1366x768 at 60Hz — higher resolutions (1920x1080) typically require 2-lane or 4-lane eDP.

• EDID chip: The panel has a built-in EDID chip that reports its resolution and timing to the host system automatically, enabling true plug-and-play display detection.

• Integration: To use this panel in a custom design, an eDP driver board or an FPGA/MCU with eDP TX capability is required. Standard HDMI or VGA outputs cannot be connected directly.

Applications

• Industrial Laptop and Rugged Tablet Displays: The NV116WHM-N45 is originally designed for notebook/laptop PCs and is frequently repurposed as the display module for rugged industrial tablets, field data entry terminals, and portable test equipment. The 11.6-inch size fits common industrial handheld and semi-rugged tablet form factors.

• HMI (Human Machine Interface) Panels: Industrial control panels, factory automation HMIs, and building management system (BMS) terminals requiring a compact, wide-viewing-angle display at an economical price point.

• Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals: Retail checkout displays, self-service kiosks, and restaurant ordering terminals benefit from the IPS-equivalent ADS wide viewing angle for customer-facing and operator-facing screens.

• Transportation Displays: In-vehicle displays, fleet management terminals, and transportation ticketing systems where the -20 to +60 degC storage temperature range provides adequate thermal margin.

• Medical Device Displays: Portable medical monitors, diagnostic equipment, and patient tracking terminals requiring consistent color accuracy and wide viewing angles.

• Educational and Training Displays: Interactive learning tablets, classroom display panels, and vocational training equipment.
