These exist and they are called "bar type displays" and are usually used for gate information in train terminals. NEC has a fairly inexpensive one that you can buy on amazon for $675[1]: Nec Display Multisync X431bt Digital Signage Display ... however the resolution is relatively low - 1920x480 There are others that are in the 4k range but I can't find the link right now ...

That NEC display is nearly 4 feet long. I am thinking the same width as a full size keyboard so on the order of 15 - 18". 1920 x 480 would be ok for a display that was 18" wide and 4" tall. Although I'd prefer it be 3450 x 768 (192 dpi)

  Not sure if you'll make it back to this thread, but I found the other (much more interesting) manufacturer of bar-type displays: LiteMax and their spanpixel line of panels: http://www.litemax.com/en/product/category/Spanpixel/22 http://www.litemax.com/en/product/category/Spanpixel/22 I see smaller (15 and 19 inch) displays as well as the "smart shelf" displays. Here is a 3840x536 display @ 43.5", which is the one I am interested in: http://www.litemax.com/en/product/Spanpixel%204355-INU/40 http://www.litemax.com/en/product/Spanpixel%204355-INU/40

    The Spanpixel ones are exactly what I was looking for! Now to try and figure out how to get them, I see that Avnet is a rep for them so perhaps they will be able to help me out.

      They don't look cheap ... Glad I could help :)

        Sure, but if you can make a prototype and develop a kickstarter that goes way over its funding goal, then you can either negotiate a better price, or other manufacturers will come out of the woodwork to serve you because there is a huge overcapacity glut on LCD glass.

        Also, not sure if you saw this (I didn't, at first) ... if you look at the top text on: http://www.litemax.com/en/product/category/Resizing%20LCD/22 http://www.litemax.com/en/product/category/Resizing%20LCD/22 it appears that they are cutting up existing LCD panels up to make these screens ...
