Custom Display Module for Harman Kardon Home Audio
Smart Home Audio
Client Background
HARMAN International, a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, stands as a global powerhouse in connected car systems, premium audio, and IoT technologies. Its iconic brand, Harman Kardon, is revered worldwide for blending acoustic excellence with distinctive industrial design — from the transparent elegance of SoundSticks to the modern sophistication of the Aura Studio and Citation series.
As smart home and wireless audio evolve, Harman Kardon has elevated user experience by integrating full‑colour LCD touchscreens into its premium speakers and soundbars. These displays are essential for intuitive music control, precise EQ tuning, and vibrant album art visualization — creating a seamless bridge between high‑fidelity sound and interactive design.
To meet the stringent demands of ultra‑thin bezels, compact internal spaces, low‑power consumption, and flawless colour reproduction, HARMAN selected Jictech as a strategic display module partner. Our proven expertise in miniaturised, high‑performance TFT modules ensures that every screen not only fits perfectly but also enhances the overall aesthetic and functional integrity of their celebrated audio products.
