46 inch infrared touch frame
46 inch is the classic video-wall module size and still the most common diagonal in installed splice walls. Rebuilding one of those walls into a touch surface means matching 46 inch exactly, which is why this stays in the catalogue.
FOB Shenzhen, frame only, 1–50 pcs. Add $42 for 3 mm tempered glass. Volume tiers quoted on request.
Inside the 46 inch frame
1044 × 603 mm outside with a 13 mm side bezel and a 19 mm bottom rail. This is the same extrusion profile we run from 32 to 110 inch — the cut length changes, the section does not, so the frame in the photo is what arrives at every size in the range.
- 1044 × 603 mm outer, 1018 × 573 mm active area
- 2–40 touch points, USB HID, no driver for Windows, Android or Linux
- 318 pcs in stock, leaves in 3–7 days
Corner joint. Cast corner block pinned into the extrusion — this is what keeps an 86 inch frame flat instead of bowing in the middle.
Packing. One frame per cardboard tube with foam ends. Crates start at 98 inch, where a tube stops being practical.
What the 46 inch frame fits
The active area is 1018 × 573 mm — a standard 46 inch 16:9 panel. The frame adds 13 mm on three sides and 19 mm at the bottom, which is where the controller PCB and USB cable sit.
- Outer frame: 1044 × 603 mm, 9.5 mm deep
- Housing cut-out: leave 1048 × 607 mm plus 3 mm clearance for the cable
- Glass clearance: up to 5 mm thick; 8 mm with the wide-gap version
- Mounting: front-flush with M3 inserts, or side brackets
Typical builds at this size: splice wall rebuild, command room, public information wall.
46 inch frame — options and unit price
Indicative FOB Shenzhen prices at 10-point configuration. Higher touch counts add controller cost, not sensor cost, so the jump is smaller than most buyers expect.

What happens after the carton is open
A frame is not finished hardware until it is calibrated against the display it sits on. Three things ship with this size to get you there, and none of them are extras.
No driver, on any system
USB HID digitizer. Windows 10/11, Android, Linux and ChromeOS enumerate it without installing anything. macOS reports single point only — worth knowing before you commit.
Calibration tool and profile
Windows and Linux builds, 4/9/25-point runs, written to the controller so it survives a power cycle. Stuck? A ten-minute remote session with our engineer calibrates it with you.
Installation sheet for this size
Clearance, 0.5 N·m torque, ground under 4 Ω, 3 m passive USB limit — plus the symptom table that covers most first-install problems.

46 inch frame questions
What is the outer size of a 46 inch frame?
Can I get this size with a different bezel?
How many units of the 46 inch frame fit in a carton?
Do you supply the tempered glass with the frame?
Is this an IR touch frame or an infrared touch screen?
IR frame, infrared touch screen, overlay — the same part
Older drawings call this an IR overlay or simply a touch overlay: a frame that drops over an existing display without touching it. That is exactly the behaviour here — no bonding, no new firmware, no change to the LCD you already qualified. It is also the reason an infrared frame is the cheapest way to add touch to a product that is already in production.
Worth saying plainly: this frame does not need the display to be a touchscreen model, and it does not care what brand the TV is. It sits outside the glass and reads a finger through it. That is why a 2015 monitor and a 2024 signage panel take the same part.
If your enquiry uses a name not listed here, send it anyway — a photo of the old part or the housing opening settles it faster than any glossary. Full terminology list →
