When 10/10 is not enough, there is 12/10.
This is why the new Riverdi 10.1” USB-C display family comes with strategic expansion to the 12.1” USB-C model. Larger display delivers 45% more viewing area while maintaining the core single-cable simplicity and pure industrial-grade design freedom.
See how it combines the market’s need for a bigger screen with engineers and tech managers’ demand for enhanced visibility, powerful touch and information density.
Know the exact advantages of larger size
At 277.7 mm x 180.6 mm, the 12.1” display features a total visible area of 42,614 mm² compared to 29,419 mm² on the 10.1” model. That’s 45% more room for visual content, data visualization, and operational controls—without increasing system complexity.
This increase in viewing area allows for:
- Larger user interfaces without loss of clarity especially appreciated in the medical imaging and diagnostics
- Improved operator readability at greater distances in a professional environments such as industrial control rooms
- Accommodation of more complex GUIs and information layers
Get in touch with the new enhanced controller
Powered by the ILITEK ILI2511 controller, the 12.1” display version with a PCAP touchscreen supports thick work gloves, 10 simultaneous touch points, and cover glass customization up to 15mm. This ensures reliability in demanding conditions such as medical environments, industrial factory floors, and outdoor settings.
Feel the engineering ease with single-cable simplicity
Like the rest of Riverdi’s USB-C Plug and Play lineup, the 12.1” model consolidates power, touch, and video into one universal cable. In addition, it offers universal compatibility with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Thunderbolt 3/4 devices, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of systems. An internal USB hub further enhances expandability by allowing direct connection of peripherals.
These features together reduce engineering time, streamline the BOM, and simplify both electrical and mechanical integration—no more complex cable routing or exhausting driver development.
Know use cases where bigger means better
The expanded screen real estate of the 12.1” USB-C display unlocks new levels of usability across several demanding application areas:
Medical imaging & diagnostics
In healthcare environments, every pixel of imagery is a matter of life and death. Larger viewing area provides space for more details, side-by-side analytic imaging and annotations.
Industrial control rooms
Operators in production facilities often monitor complex data from a distance. The increased display area ensures better readability of process parameters, trends, and alarms in supervisory control systems.
Public information displays
Whether at smart city kiosks or transit hubs, public-facing screens must provide clear information to multiple users at once. The larger screen enhances readability from various angles and allows for multilingual or multi-modal layouts.
Complex system monitoring
For integrators building solutions in automation, energy management, or laboratory control, the need to present more variables, widgets, and live data simultaneously is a constant. The 12.1” format allows information-dense interfaces to remain uncluttered and user-friendly.
Transportation & logistics
In high-mobility environments and vehicles like forklifts, terminals, or fleet dashboards, screen readability must remain consistent even under motion and vibration. A bigger display supports larger fonts, clearer icons, and richer interaction areas.
EV charging stations
Modern charging stations rely on screen-based interaction. The additional space improves guidance through multi-step user flows, supports rich branding, and reduces touch errors with larger targets.
Military & aerospace
Mission-critical applications require high durability, superior visibility, and gloved touch operation in harsh outdoor or cockpit conditions. The 12.1” display delivers expanded functionality without sacrificing reliability.
Compare technical specifications
Analyze highlighted technical aspects of both USB-C models and competitive advantages of the larger one. Notice the seemingly trivial facts that the 12.1” display is relatively lightweight and has compact form despite its bigger size.

Customize without limits
Every application has unique requirements—and Riverdi’s 12.1” USB-C display is engineered with that in mind. From mechanical integration to optical performance, its flexible customization options allow seamless adaptation.
Cover glass options
Choose from various thickness levels (up to 15 mm), and coatings to meet durability, hygiene, or aesthetic goals in industrial, and public-facing environments.
High standard of brightness
The standard of up to 1000 cd/m² backlight ensures strong visibility even in bright outdoor or indoor conditions. Lower brightness configurations are available to optimize power consumption or adapt to controlled-light environments.
Mounting flexibility
With support for both uxTouch (edge-to-edge glass and sleek front surface) and aTouch (frame-based and rugged), engineers can choose the most suitable format for sealed enclosures, or enhanced impact resistance.
Optical bonding
Available when a specific application needs an enhanced contrast.
