LVDS displays can vary a lot. LVDS displays are not governed by a set of well defined rules like MIPI DSI displays are. Therefore, it is up to the LCD manufacturer and the LVDS display driver IC manufacturer to use LVDS interface as they please, as long as they follow the physical interface and logic levels.

Based on this data, we can pick an LVDS transmitter IC. SN75LVDS84 from Texas Instruments is great for use with LCD displays that can be driven by an STM32.

Serial LCD controllers typically have one Serial Data Line that writes data and cannot read. Normally, a Register Select Line(Sometimes designated A0) is used to tell the controller whether the incoming data is display information or a controller command

SPI, or Serial Peripheral Interface bus, is a synchronous (data is synchronized to the clock) serial data link standard that operates in full duplex mode, which means that devices that can communicate with one another simultaneously. To do this, two data lines are required. With this standard, devices communicate in a master/slave mode, where the master device (host processor) initiates the data and the clock. The LCD module is the (or one of the) peripheral slave device(s) attached to the data bus. Multiple peripherals (display modules and other devices) are addressed on the same serial data bus. However, the LCD module will only listen to the data it sees when the Chip Select line is active (usually low). If the Chip Select line is inactive (usually High), the LCD module listens to the data on the bus, but ignores it. The SDO line is not active when this state occurs. The SPI bus is comprised of four logic signals, two control lines and two data lines and is commonly referred to as SPI (4 wire).

SPI Data transmissions usually involve two shift registers. Most display module applications normally use 8-bit words. However, different size words, such as 12 bit, are also used. By convention, the most significant bit is shifted out of one shift register while the least significant bit is shifted in. The word is then written into memory if the CS (chip-select) is low (active). If not, the data is ignored.

LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) technology provides a port with low voltage difference and differential signals. Developed by NS Technology Co., the American company uses digital video signal to resolve the excess amount of resource consumed and reducing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) while transferring high bit rate data using TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic). LVDS ports are able to perform differential data transfer between PCB traces or balanced cables with a relatively low output voltage swing (350mV), allowing a transfer speed up to several hundred megabit per second with low voltage difference. As a result, low voltage swing and low current drive applications have led to dramatic reduction in resource consumption and noise.

Using single circuit for transfers, the port implements 6 bit data for each primary color signals, thus delivering 18 bit RGB data. This output is also known as the 18 bit or 18 bit LVDS port.

Using two-path dual circuit transfers, the port implements 6 bit data for each primary color signals, delivering 18 bit for single and dual channel data, totaling 36 bit RGB data. This output is also known as the 36 bit or 36 bit LVDS port.

Using single circuit for transfers, the port implements 8 bit data for each primary color signals, delivering 24 bit RDB data. This output is also known as the 24 bit or 24 bit LVDS port.

Using two-path dual circuit transfers, the port implements 8 bit data for each primary color signals, delivering 24 bit for single and dual channel data, totaling 48 bit RGB data. This output is also known as the 48 bit or 48 bit LVDS port.

Connector ports for devices such like cameras, displays, basebands, and RF interfaces are standardized under MIPI Alliance specifications. These specifications include design, manufacturing costs, structural complexity, power consumption and degree of EMI.

Display size, contrast, color, brightness, resolution, and power are key factors in choosing the right display technology for your application. However, making the right choice in how you feed the information to the display is just as vital, and there are many interface options available.

All displays work in a similar manner. In a very basic explanation, they all have many rows and columns of pixels driven by a controller that communicates with each pixel to emit the brightness and color needed to make up the transmitted image. In some devices, the pixels are diodes that light up when current flows (PMOLEDs and AMOLEDs), and in other electronics, the pixel acts as a shutter to let some of the light from a backlight visible. In all cases, a memory array stores the image information that travels to the display through an interface.

According to Wikipedia, "an interface is a shared boundary across which two separate components of a computer system exchange information. The exchange can be between software, computer hardware, peripheral devices, humans, and combinations of these. Some computer hardware devices such as a touchscreen can both send and receive data through the interface, while others such as a mouse or microphone may only provide an interface to send data to a given system.” In other words, an interface is something that facilitates communication between two objects. Although display interfaces serve a similar purpose, how that communication occurs varies widely.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface best-suited for short distances. It was developed by Motorola for components to share data such as flash memory, sensors, Real-Time Clocks, analog-to-digital converters, and more. Because there is no protocol overhead, the transmission runs at relatively high speeds. SPI runs on one master (the side that generates the clock) with one or more slaves, usually the devices outside the central processor. One drawback of SPI is the number of pins required between devices. Each slave added to the master/slave system needs an additional chip select I/O pin on the master. SPI is a great option for small, low-resolution displays including PMOLEDs and smaller LCDs.

Philips Semiconductors invented I2C (Inter-integrated Circuit) or I-squared-C in 1982. It utilizes a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus system. Engineers developed I2C for simple peripherals on PCs, like keyboards and mice to then later apply it to displays. Like SPI, it only works for short distances within a device and uses an asynchronous serial port. What sets I2C apart from SPI is that it can support up to 1008 slaves and only requires two wires, serial clock (SCL), and serial data (SDA). Like SPI, I2C also works well with PMOLEDs and smaller LCDs. Many display systems transfer the touch sensor data through I2C.

RGB is used to interface with large color displays. It sends 8 bits of data for each of the three colors, Red Green, and Blue every clock cycle. Since there are 24 bits of data transmitted every clock cycle, at clock rates up to 50 MHz, this interface can drive much larger displays at video frame rates of 60Hz and up.

Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) was developed in 1994 and is a popular choice for large LCDs and peripherals in need of high bandwidth, like high-definition graphics and fast frame rates. It is a great solution because of its high speed of data transmission while using low voltage. Two wires carry the signal,  with one wire carrying the exact inverse of its companion. The electric field generated by one wire is neatly concealed by the other, creating much less interference to nearby wireless systems. At the receiver end, a circuit reads the difference (hence the "differential" in the name) in voltage between the wires. As a result, this scheme doesn’t generate noise or gets its signals scrambled by external noise. The interface consists of four, six, or eight pairs of wires, plus a pair carrying the clock and some ground wires. 24-bit color information at the transmitter end is converted to serial information, transmitted quickly over these pairs of cables, then converted back to 24-bit parallel in the receiver, resulting in an interface that is very fast to handle large displays and is very immune to interference.

Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) is a newer technology that is managed by the MIPI Alliance and has become a popular choice among wearable and mobile developers. MIPI uses similar differential signaling to LVDS by using a clock pair and one to eight pairs of data called lanes. MIPI supports a complex protocol that allows high speed and low power modes, as well as the ability to read data back from the display at lower rates. There are several versions of MIPI for different applications, MIPI DSI being the one for displays.

Display components stretch the limitations of bandwidth. For perspective, the most common internet bandwidth in a residential home runs on average at around 20 megabits per second or 20 billion 1s and 0s per second. Even small displays can require 4MB per second, which is a lot of data in what is often a tightly constrained physical space.

Take the same PMOLED display with the 128 x 128 resolution and 16,384 separate diodes; it requires information as to when and how brightly to illuminate each pixel. For a display with only 16 shades, it takes 4 bits of data. 128 x 128 x 4 = 65,536 bits for one frame. Now multiply it by the 60Hz, and you get a bandwidth of 4 megabits/second for a small monochrome display.

As screen showing text is in black and white mode, it may display well even the interfaces are miss-matched. But not for color, it is highly possible causing by the LVDS interface type matching problem. Please recheck the host interface type and TFT interface type in their specifications.

Since different type of LVDS signal packing the RGB data in different ways, showing a gray level bar on the display will help you see the issue easily. (Please refer to Appendix for possible result)

Yes, it can work. You just need to leave the IN3+ and IN3- opened and connect the others. (Please, refer to their specification for details) As the 18bit-LVDS signal cannot tell the TFT display to show a “full white(FFFFFF)”, the highest white level will be ”FCFCFC”.

Check the backlight power supply. There may be a “low-level” PWMgiven to the TFT display module which dims the backlight brightness . Or the PWM active level is reversed. Also, it could be wrongly feeding a 18bit LVDS data to a 24bit-LVDS(VESA) TFT display module . (see Appendix) Some of Topway"s TFT display modules have interface selection setting. It might be wrongly wired. (Pls, refer to their specification for details)
