Handheld UAV Ground Control Station Screen Solution: BOE EV101WUM-N80 10.1-inch WUXGA LCD Application Case

News 2026-05-13

With the widespread application of drones in surveying, power line inspection, agricultural plant protection, emergency rescue, and security monitoring, the Ground Control Station (GCS), as a crucial interactive terminal between operators and the flight platform, directly impacts mission efficiency and flight safety through its display quality.

In the design of handheld ground control stations, the display screen must not only clearly present flight images, maps, telemetry data, and alarm information, but also maintain good visibility in bright outdoor light conditions, while also being lightweight and power-efficient.

A drone equipment manufacturer, in developing its next-generation handheld ground control terminal, ultimately selected BOE Technology Group’s EV101WUM-N80 as its core display component.

Project Background

This client primarily serves the industrial drone market, with product applications including:

Power line inspection drones
Firefighting and emergency drones
Agricultural plant protection drones
Border patrol drones
Surveying drones

The next-generation handheld control station needs to meet the following requirements:

Approximately 10-inch screen size, balancing portability and field of view
High-definition display of real-time image transmission
Support for simultaneous display of maps, flight parameters, and alarm information
Clearly readable in outdoor sunlight
Wide viewing angle display
Stable operation in complex environments
Stable long-term supply

Why Choose the BOE EV101WUM-N80?

1920×1200 WUXGA High Resolution

The EV101WUM-N80 features a 1920×1200 resolution, displaying richer content than the more common 1280×800 screens. It can simultaneously display:

Real-time video feed

Electronic map

Flight altitude, speed, and battery level

Gimbal control information

Alarm prompts

Higher resolution means clearer details, making it particularly suitable for target recognition and image observation.

IPS Wide Viewing Angle Technology

IPS technology provides a viewing angle of nearly 178°. Operators can clearly see the screen content from different holding angles, reducing blind spots during outdoor use.

Sunlight Visibility

The module has a brightness of 1000 nits, and with optical full lamination technology, it still maintains excellent readability in strong outdoor light environments.

10.1-inch Golden Size

The 10.1-inch screen strikes a balance between portability and display area, making it the mainstream size for handheld control stations.

Industrial-grade stability

The EV101WUM-N80 boasts mature and stable performance, making it suitable for long-term continuous operation.
