Open Frame

An open frame display is a monitor without an outer enclosure, mounted in a metal chassis for integration into kiosks, ATMs, POS terminals or machines.

Also known as: open frame monitor, open-frame display, open frame LCD

An open frame display is a display or industrial monitor without an external enclosure. Instead, the screen is mounted in an open frame, usually with a metal chassis, making it easier to integrate into the final housing of a kiosk, ATM, POS terminal, ticket machine, or industrial equipment. Open frame construction supports different mounting types (front, rear, or internal), ensuring flexibility in system integration. These displays are often equipped with mounting holes, brackets, or frames for stable installation.

Open frame solutions are chosen mainly by OEMs and system integrators who require a ready-to-install component but want control over the appearance, sealing, and functionality of the final device.
