What Three Five Displays does

Three Five Displays, legally Three Five Corporation, is a privately-held US supplier of display systems and human interface solutions founded in 1986. The company sells standard, full-custom, and semi-custom display and touch modules to OEM and ODM customers across industrial, medical, automotive, commercial, marine, HVAC/smart home/IoT, and mobile/communications end markets. Its engineering and product footprint spans Scottsdale and Tempe in Arizona, London in the United Kingdom, and Shenzhen and Dalian in China, supporting a quote-based B2B sales model and what the company describes as 24-hour worldwide project design capability.

The core product portfolio covers Active Matrix Color TFT Display Modules (TN, WVTN, IPS, MVA, AFFS cell technologies, with sunlight-readable and automotive/medical grades), Mono Passive LCD Modules (TN, HTN, STN, FSTN, FFSTN, DSTN, VA, in transmissive, transflective, and reflective modes), Mono and Full-Color OLED Displays (0.49" to 2.8"), Industrial and Open-Frame Monitors (7" to 15.6" with HDMI/VGA/AV/DVI inputs), and standard or custom Capacitive and Resistive Touch solutions including the trademarked MIDAS-TOUCH ruggedized capacitive system validated to 14 joules under the 60601 drop test. Three Five also offers a proprietary family of Ultra Low Power LCD ICs (TFC4383, TFC4385, TFC4387, TFC4388) enabling ~30uA passive matrix operation, and a Panoramic Display series tailored to 1U rack and long-narrow form factors.

The business operates on a hardware-sales plus engineering and manufacturing services revenue model, with revenue generated from custom and semi-custom display designs, components, and related integration services. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed, contracts are described as multi-year, and the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional, venture, or private equity ownership. Rob Harrison serves as President and CEO, Bill Lindblad as V.P. Engineering, and Lyron Bentovim (former COO/CFO of Sunrise Telecom and Managing Member of SKIRITAI Capital) sits on the board. The company has not announced funding rounds, acquisitions, or restructuring events, and operates with a small core US headcount supplemented by a global engineering and design partner network.
