What Data Image does

Data Image (DMC Components International, LLC) is a privately held electronic components company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The company designs and manufactures TFT LCD display modules and integrated touch panel solutions, with a particular focus on ruggedized, extreme-environment applications. Core technical capabilities span in-house optical bonding (wet and dry bond processes), projected capacitive (PCAP) touch integration, free-form and curved display design, and environmental hardening for sunlight readability, water resistance, shock/vibration tolerance, and operation across wide temperature ranges (down to -30°C and up to +85°C).

The company sells custom, quote-based display hardware directly to OEM manufacturers and end customers across six primary vertical markets: Marine Electronics (fish finders, yacht navigation, marine gauges), Vehicle Displays (motorcycle instrument clusters, agricultural and construction vehicles, golf carts), Industrial HMI (factory automation, ruggedized control panels), Medical Displays (professional medical instruments meeting ISO13485), Intelligent Appliance Displays (thermostats, coffee makers, refrigerators, washing machines), and Outdoor & Digital Signage. The product portfolio is complemented by a dedicated round TFT display sub-line for motor bike gauges, vehicle digital clusters, marine gauges, and HMI control knobs/encoders. Supporting protocols include NMEA 2000 and SAE-J1939 for vehicle and marine integration.

Data Image holds multiple industry certifications including IATF16949 (automotive), ISO13485 (medical devices), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and QC080000, and maintains an in-house laboratory for shock, vibration, salt fog, drop-impact, contact angle, and ESD testing. The company operates with 11-50 employees and engages customers through a direct enterprise sales motion with a dedicated Sales & Marketing Department and Engineering Support team. No revenue, funding, ownership, or parent-company information is disclosed in public sources.
