Hantronix

What Hantronix does

Hantronix, Inc. is a privately held California corporation incorporated in the United States and headquartered at 10080 Bubb Road, Cupertino, California. Founded in 1975 and entering the LCD market in 1979, the company designs, manufactures, and supplies a broad portfolio of standard and custom LCD display modules — TFT LCD (2.4" to 15", QVGA to XGA), passive-matrix OLED (graphic and character), STN/FSTN/CSTN graphic modules (122x32 to 640x480 pixels), and TN/STN/FSTN character modules (8x1 to 40x4) — plus fully custom glass LCD panel production with 4–6 week sample and 14–16 week production lead times. Differentiated process options include bi-stable LCD (1 microamp power draw), No-Polarizer VA for high humidity, FFSTN, FSC-VA, MVA, sunlight-readable TFT (800–1300 nits with optical bonding), wide-temperature TFT (-30C to +85C), and capacitive touch integration via PCAP7200.

Manufacturing is executed in ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949-certified Far East facilities spanning over 100,000 square feet of clean room space with 20+ years of established processes; a Northern California inventory warehouse supports short US lead times. The company sells B2B to industrial, medical, and consumer-product OEMs through a multi-tier channel: ~20 regional US independent sales reps by state, nationwide stocking distributors (Bisco, TLC, Walker), Mouser Electronics for online SMB ordering, and international distributors across Brazil, Germany, Austria, Italy, the UK, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, and Canada. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; sales terms are net 30 days from invoice. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales of display modules with no disclosed recurring component.

The product range targets use cases including set-top boxes, vending, gaming, medical diagnostics, portable test and measurement instruments, automotive displays, electric/water/gas meters, marine equipment, telecom products, and battery-operated consumer devices — pain points addressed include extended temperature tolerance, sunlight readability, low-power consumption, long product lifecycle support, and design-phase technical assistance.
