The uLCD-144G2 display module is compact and cost effective and features a 1.44” LCD TFT screen, which is the smallest LCD TFT module available from 4D Systems. Driven by the GOLDELOX processor, the uLCD-144G2 is the perfect compact display solution for any application requiring a small embedded screen.

The module is an elegant combination of a 1.44” TFT LCD screen, along with a modest but comprehensive collection of I/O Features. These include a micro-SD card connector, two general purpose input/output pins (GPIO"s) with Dallas 1-Wire Support, Analog Input and sound generation capability, along with serial communications.

In this guide we’re going to show you how you can use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino. You’ll learn how to wire the display, write text, draw shapes and display images on the screen.

The 1.8 TFT is a colorful display with 128 x 160 color pixels. The display can load images from an SD card – it has an SD card slot at the back. The following figure shows the screen front and back view.

This module uses SPI communication – see the wiring below . To control the display we’ll use the TFT library, which is already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and later.

The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library on your code. We also use the TFT library to write and draw on the display.

The 1.8 TFT display can load images from the SD card. To read from the SD card you use the SD library, already included in the Arduino IDE software. Follow the next steps to display an image on the display:

In this guide we’ve shown you how to use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino: display text, draw shapes and display images. You can easily add a nice visual interface to your projects using this display.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.

As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.

Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.

I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.

After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.

So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels  down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.

Display specialist distributor Ginsbury has introduced Kyocera"s new Raspberry Pi based Universal Demo Kit (VIP Kit). Simple to use and easy to operate, the VIP Kit connects to a Raspberry Pi and processes the HDMI output, enabling images and graphics to be displayed on any of Kyocera"s currently available TFT display panels.

Kyocera"s VIP Kit features a single channel 24-bit HDMI to LVDS converter with a 15MHz to 85MHz pixel clock enabling support for VGA (640 x 480 pixel) to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) resolution displays. Users can select and configure display timing specifications such as Hsync, Vsync and Clock polarity. An integrated backlight control unit supports up to a maximum of 600mA. A 12V, 1.5A power supply is included together with all associated cables and connectors.

Ken Berry, Product Marketing Manager, Ginsbury explained, “Kyocera"s new VIP Kit provides users with the ability to test and evaluate the features and characteristics of Kyocera"s TFT displays.The Raspberry Pi is widely across many industry sectors and provides the ideal platform to host a cost effective LCD evaluation tool. Graphics and images can be simply and quickly altered allowing display performance such as colour saturation, contrast and viewing angles to be easily assessed. This can significantly aid the display appraisal process during the design-in phase."

The VIP Kit should prove to be a beneficial tool for design engineers and system developers in industrial automation, medical technology, in-vehicle systems and a wide range of industries by enabling the rapid implementation of display demonstrations and user interface design concepts.

RX62N Starter Kits are Renesas’s latest development in low-cost evaluation development toolkits. The TFT LCD RX Direct Drive Solution Kit provides a user-friendly introductory evaluation platform to determine the suitability of any given Renesas Microcontroller as well as a basic development platform. In addition, the RX Direct-Drive Solution boards for TFT LCD serve as a valuable platform for evaluating the Renesas suite of development tools for coding and debugging, using High-performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) as well as programming the device with emulator and/or Flash Development Toolkit.

By utilizing the external DMA to drive the TFT-LCD and move the RGB data, the load on the MCU"s core is significantly reduced, thus optimizing the MCU’s performance to run the application software. There is only a 5% loading on the CPU when refreshing a 60Hz panel, leaving more than 150DMIPS to run an RTOS and communications protocols, drive motors and create animations if needed.

FSC (Field sequential color) LCD uses high speed LCD mode and R, G, B LED backlight. The FSC-LCD technology eliminates the need of the color filter / It changes the display color by software only.
