When display devices are brought outside, oftentimes they face the brightness of sunlight or any other form of high ambient light sources reflecting off of and overwhelming the LED backlight’s image.

With the growth of the LCD panel industry as a whole, it has become more important than ever to prevent the sun’s wash out of displays used outdoors, such as automobile displays, digital signage, and public kiosks. Hence, the sunlight readable display was invented.

One solution would be to increase the luminance of the TFT LCD monitor’s LED backlight to overpower the bright sunlight and eliminate glare. On average, TFT LCD screens have a brightness of about 250 to 450 Nits, but when this is increased to about 800 to 1000 (1000 is the most common) Nits, the device becomes a high bright LCDand a sunlight readable display.

Since many of today’s TFT LCD display devices have shifted to touchscreens, the touch panels on the surface of LCD screens already block a small percentage of backlighting, decreasing the surface brightness and making it so that the sunlight can even more easily wash out the display. Resistive touch panels use two transparent layers above the glass substrate, but the transparent layers can still block up to 5% of the light.

In order to optimize the high brightness of the backlight, a different type of touchscreen can be used: the capacitive touchscreen. Though it is more expensive than the resistive touch screen, this technology is more ideal for sunlight readable displays than the resistive due to its usage of a thinner film or even in-cell technologies rather than two layers above the glass of the display, and therefore, light can pass more efficiently.

However, with this method comes a list of potential problems. Firstly, high brightness displays result in much greater power consumption and shorter battery life. In order to shed more light, more power will be needed which can also consequently result in device overheating which can also shorten battery life. If the backlight’s power is increased, the LED’s half-life may also be reduced.

While in bright exterior light settings, these devices reduce eye strain as the user attempts to view the image on screen, the brightness of the display itself can also cause eye strain, seen as the brightness may overwhelm your eyes. Many devices allow the user to adjust brightness, so this concern is oftentimes not too severe.

A recent technology falling into the sunlight readable display category is the transflective TFT LCD, coming from a combination of the word transmissive and reflective. By using a transflective polarizer, a significant percentage of sunlight is reflected away from the screen to aid in the reduction of wash out. This optical layer is known as the transflector.

In transflective TFT LCDs, sunlight can reflect off the display but can also pass through the TFT cell layer and be reflected back out off a somewhat transparent rear reflector in front of the backlight, illuminating the display without as much demand and power usage from the transmissive nature of the backlight. This addresses both the issues of wash out and the disadvantages of high brightness TFT LCDs in high ambient light environments. Because of its transmissive and reflective modes, this type of device is very useful for devices that will be used outdoors but also indoors.

While it does greatly reduce power consumption, transflective LCDs are much more expensive than high brightness LCDs. In recent years, the cost has decreased, but transflective LCDs continue to be more costly.

In addition to adjustments to the internal mechanics of LCDs, it is possible to make devices more sunlight-readable using surface treatments. The most common are anti-reflective (A/R) films/coatings and anti-glare processing.

When anti-glare is used, reflected light is fragmented. Using a rough surface as opposed to a smooth one, anti-glare treatments can reduce the reflection’s disruption of the actual image of the display.

Often paired with other methods of creating sunlight readable displays is optical bonding. By gluing the glass of a display to the TFT LCD cells beneath it, optical bonding eliminates the air gap that traditional LCD displays have in them using an optical grade adhesive.

This adhesive reduces the amount of reflection between the glass and LCD cell as well as the reflection of external ambient light. Doing this helps provide a clearer image with an increased contrast ratio, or the difference in the light intensity of the brightest white pixel color and darkest black pixel color.

With this contrast ratio improvement, optical bonding addresses the root issue with unreadable outdoor displays: the contrast. Though an increase in brightness can improve contrast, by fixing the contrast itself, LCD display images in outdoor environments will not be as washed out and will require less power consumption.

Besides the visual display advantages that optical bonding provides, this adhesive improves the display in many other ways. The first being durability, optical bonding eliminates the air gap within the device and replaces it with a hardened adhesive that can act as a shock absorber.

Touch screens with optical bonding gain, accuracy in where the point of contact is between the touch and screen. What is known as parallax, the refraction angle of light, can make it seem that the point of contact and the actual point on the display are different. When the adhesive is used, this refraction is minimized, if not reduced.

The optical bonding adhesive’s elimination of the air gap also protects the LCD from moisture/fogging and dust, as there is no space for impurities to penetrate and remain under the glass layer. This especially helps with maintaining the state of LCDs in transport, storage, and humid environments.

Compiling the various methods of improving LCD screens for sunlight readability, these devices can be optimized in high ambient light settings. An anti-glare coating is applied to the surface of the glass and anti-reflective coatings are applied to both the front and back. The transflector is also used in front of the backlight. These features can result in 1000 Nit or more display lighting, without the excessive power consumption and heat production through a high brightness backlight, consequently allowing for a longer lasting and better performing LCD

Unfortunately, the process of building a reflector inside TFT LCD is complicated and transflective TFT LCD is normally several times higher cost compared with normal transmissive TFT LCD.

To further improve and enhance the qualities of the LCD, LED and cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlights are used. Both these create bright displays, but the LED specifically can do so without as much power consumption and heat generation as compared to the CCFL option. Optical bonding is also applied in order to improve display contrast, leading to a more efficient and better quality sunlight readable display.

TFT LCD screens combined with Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology result in exciting project ideas applicable to a wide variety of industries. STONE HMI TFT LCD Arduino project ideas. After all, HMI is a smart technology that uses touch to draw out information from both the human user and the display machine.

And when high-quality display screen modules such as STONE Tech’s TFT LCD products are laden with HMI technology, the result is outstanding machine performance capable of bringing out the best in every customer and business.

Now, this article will feature STONE HMI. Furthermore, we will also present some exciting project development initiatives carried out by the company using its vast range of TFT LCD modules paired with HMI technology, and the TFT LCD Arduino project.

The interface with which HMI works consists of both hardware and software. These two work together to let users input signals using direct or indirect touch (such as by using a special screen stylus) on the machine display. Once the touch signals have been inputted, the machine recognizes them and sends them to the software to begin interpretation. The machine then responds by showing the desired information to the human user.

Information that a user can get from an HMI machine greatly varies depending on the setting with which the machine is used. Here are some examples of common HMI machines and the data it presents to its daily users:

An HMI in the form of a bank ATM can provide a user with financial information such as his bank account balance, withdrawals, deposits, bills payments, phone credit loading, and similar data.

Medical equipment in hospital settings uses HMI to display pertinent information regarding a patient. For instance, a ventilator machine can display data such as vital signs and a selection of possible breathing patterns for the patient. It can also alert medical practitioners when there is a problem with the patient or the machine through alarms and sounds.

Another HMI machine used in daily life is the car dashboard. An on-board car control panel using an intelligent touch screen can be used to display important car information like speed, gas levels, and time. The screen dashboard can also be used to toggle many functions like turning the AC and beam on or off using a single touch.

HMIs are user-friendly by nature. Graphics and colors can easily be added to the display to communicate with the end-users. Any problems arising from the HMI screen can also be detected easily using color codes, alarms, and sounds. Furthermore, you’ll need only a few touches to fix any issues detected by an HMI device.

What makes HMI a good choice for industrial use is that it is fully flexible and customizable to fit several industrial needs. The TFT LCD screen sizes can be tailor-made to suit the HMI’s application. Furthermore, the software that comes with the machines can be adjusted as well.

STONE Technologies is a proud manufacturer of superior quality TFT LCD modules and LCD screens. The company also provides intelligent HMI solutions that perfectly fit in with its excellent hardware offerings.

STONE developed an oxygen monitor for an Italian customer. The monitor uses Stone’s 7-inch TFT LCD screen and was connected to an oxygen tank for medical use.

The finished product displays information about the connected oxygen tank such as concentration levels and other advanced data. All these data are displayed on a streamlined interface developed using TOOLBox software.

The end-product featured a touch screen display where fan functions such as speed, dose, and RF are controlled. Moreover, the resulting fan control board can operate at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 70°C, making it a simple yet heavy-duty device.

STONE’s display screen was connected to the Arduino development board through UART. But this required a level conversion achieved by the MAX3232. Meanwhile, the same Arduino board was wired to the MAX30100 module through an IIC interface.

Some modifications to the MAX30100 module were made, specifically to the IIC pull-up resistor. The remainder of the project was finished using Arduino codes to finally create a responsive display for heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring.

This project aims to create a fingerprint door lock that can enter, scan, compare, and delete fingerprints. It utilized an STM32 development board, fingerprint identification module, and Stone’s STVC050WT-01 LCD display.

STONE LCD screen’s role here is to display the fingerprint module’s status. As with all other projects, STONE TOOLBox software was used to generate the user interface flashed on the screen. Meanwhile, Stone’s LCD screen was connected to the development board and fingerprint identification module with MCU through UART-TTL signals.

The idea for this project is a real-time display of pictures collected by the camera on the LCD display screen. The TFT LCD STONE module used for this project is a 7-inch serial display module with 800×480 resolution. A camera module, development board, and some wires are needed to complete the project.

The user interface was designed using STONE TOOLBox and Adobe Photoshop. Then, the hardware parts were wired together; some parts needed welding. After that, a simple program was written following MCU to the command control TFT-LCD module.

This particular project used a STONE serial LCD touch display screen. This functions as the main display for the coffee machine. With the screen installed, you can:

RGB lamps that can be controlled through a touch display – this is the aim of this project idea. STONE’s 7-inch TFT LCD display module in STVC070WT-01 was used to connect and control an RGB lamp.

Last but not least is a basic appliance controller made using STONE’s 7-inch TFT LCD touch screen and an STM32 development board. The touch screen controls lights for various parts of the house. The finished product also collects data about humidity, temperature (indoor and outdoor), and air quality.

STONE’s TFT LCD intelligent touch modules can be paired with Arduino technology to automate a variety of processes. This project clearly demonstrates this.

Here, a sensor directly connected to Arduino Uno is monitored by the display screen in real-time. Moreover, two light bulbs connected to Arduino are directly controlled by the display screen as well.

This project is all about making a car display dashboard using a 10.1-inch STONE LCD touch screen. The on-board display interface for a used car contains the following:

We presented an overview of what HMI technology is, how it works, and which applications use it. Also, we covered Stone’s range of HMI-capable TFT LCD display modules. Furthermore, we discussed a lengthy list of exciting project ideas made using Stone’s superior quality HMI displays.

Teleste will launch a new series of ultrawide TFT LCD displays at InnoTrans 2018. With the new displays, public transport operators can offer a new level of information and visuality for passengers on trains, trams and busses

Turku, Finland – 10 September 2018 – Teleste Corporation will introduce a new series of ultrawide TFT LCD displays for public transport at InnoTrans 2018. Due to their design and technology, the new displays will open up entirely new possibilities for public transport operators who wish to share attractive and impactful information, entertainment and advertisements with their passengers.

InnoTrans 2018 will take place September 18–21 in Berlin, Germany. Come and experience the new visions of passenger information and advertisement at our stand, Stand 307 in Hall 2.1! For more information, please also follow www.teleste.com/innotrans2018.

Compared to conventional on-board displays, Teleste’s ultrawide displays can be more conveniently installed in horizontal spaces, which you can find, for example, above doors, passageways and windows. Public transport operators will have an excellent opportunity to benefit fromthe high content availability, enabled by the overhead installation and excellent UHD image quality of the displays. For passengers, there is no more struggling to see travel information in crowded metros, trains and busses; instead, the information will be displayed where everybody can easily see it.

The ultrawide displays also introduce new ways of utilizing versatile information and advertisement applications. Their technology allows them to be connected together seamlessly in order to create extra-large screens, or they can be used as single screens. This provides dynamic ways to raise attention to the delivered content: in addition to displaying individual content on each display, you can also split the content between several displays to create a powerful, panoramic view. Operators can also utilize the displays for dynamic route maps, visualizing, for example, travel origins and destinations or other types of passenger information via graphic images or Flash.

Utilizing the ultrawide displays as a part of Teleste’s on-board solution also enables a new level ofdiagnostics, where the on-board system can be used to ensure that all display panels in the ultrawide construction are operational and online.

Teleste offers an integrated product and service portfolio that makes it possible to build and run a better networked society. Our solutions bring television and broadband services to your home, secure your safety in public places and guide your use of public transport. With solid industry experience and drive for innovations, we are a leading international company in broadband, security and information technologies and related services. We connect with our customers through a global network of offices and partners. In 2017, Teleste’s net sales reached EUR 235 million and on average it had approximately 1,500 employees. Teleste is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. For more information see www.teleste.com and follow @telestecorp on Twitter.

In these videos, the SPI (GPIO) bus is referred to being the bottleneck. SPI based displays update over a serial data bus, transmitting one bit per clock cycle on the bus. A 320x240x16bpp display hence requires a SPI bus clock rate of 73.728MHz to achieve a full 60fps refresh frequency. Not many SPI LCD controllers can communicate this fast in practice, but are constrained to e.g. a 16-50MHz SPI bus clock speed, capping the maximum update rate significantly. Can we do anything about this?

The fbcp-ili9341 project started out as a display driver for the Adafruit 2.8" 320x240 TFT w/ Touch screen for Raspberry Pi display that utilizes the ILI9341 controller. On that display, fbcp-ili9341 can achieve a 60fps update rate, depending on the content that is being displayed. Check out these videos for examples of the driver in action:

Given that the SPI bus can be so constrained on bandwidth, how come fbcp-ili9341 seems to be able to update at up to 60fps? The way this is achieved is by what could be called adaptive display stream updates. Instead of uploading each pixel at each display refresh cycle, only the actually changed pixels on screen are submitted to the display. This is doable because the ILI9341 controller, as many other popular controllers, have communication interface functions that allow specifying partial screen updates, down to subrectangles or even individual pixel levels. This allows beating the bandwidth limit: for example in Quake, even though it is a fast pacing game, on average only about 46% of all pixels on screen change each rendered frame. Some parts, such as the UI stay practically constant across multiple frames.

Good old interlacing is added into the mix: if the amount of pixels that needs updating is detected to be too much that the SPI bus cannot handle it, the driver adaptively resorts to doing an interlaced update, uploading even and odd scanlines at subsequent frames. Once the number of pending pixels to write returns to manageable amounts, progressive updating is resumed. This effectively doubles the maximum display update rate. (If you do not like the visual appearance that interlacing causes, it is easy to disable this by uncommenting the line #define NO_INTERLACING in file config.h)

A number of other micro-optimization techniques are used, such as batch updating rectangular spans of pixels, merging disjoint-but-close spans of pixels on the same scanline, and latching Column and Page End Addresses to bottom-right corner of the display to be able to cut CASET and PASET messages in mid-communication.

This driver does not utilize the notro/fbtft framebuffer driver, so that needs to be disabled if active. That is, if your /boot/config.txt file has lines that look something like dtoverlay=pitft28r, ..., dtoverlay=waveshare32b, ... or dtoverlay=flexfb, ..., those should be removed.

If you have been running existing fbcp driver, make sure to remove that e.g. via a sudo pkill fbcp first (while running in SSH prompt or connected to a HDMI display), these two cannot run at the same time. If /etc/rc.local or /etc/init.d contains an entry to start up fbcp at boot, that directive should be deleted.

When using one of the displays that stack on top of the Pi that are already recognized by fbcp-ili9341, you don"t need to specify the GPIO pin assignments, but fbcp-ili9341 code already has those. Pass one of the following CMake directives for the hats:

-DPIRATE_AUDIO_ST7789_HAT=ON: If specified, targets a Pirate Audio 240x240, 1.3inch IPS LCD display HAT for Raspberry Pi with ST7789 display controller

-DKEDEI_V63_MPI3501=ON: If specified, targets a KeDei 3.5 inch SPI TFTLCD 480*320 16bit/18bit version 6.3 2018/4/9 display with MPI3501 display controller.

If you connected wires directly on the Pi instead of using a Hat from the above list, you will need to use the configuration directives below. In addition to specifying the display, you will also need to tell fbcp-ili9341 which GPIO pins you wired the connections to. To configure the display controller, pass one of:

-DILI9341=ON: If you are running on any other generic ILI9341 display, or on Waveshare32b display that is standalone and not on the FreeplayTech CM3/Zero device, pass this flag.

-DILI9340=ON: If you have a ILI9340 display, pass this directive. ILI9340 and ILI9341 chipsets are very similar, but ILI9340 doesn"t support all of the features on ILI9341 and they will be disabled or downgraded.

-DILI9486L=ON: If you have a ILI9486L display, pass this directive. Note that ILI9486 and ILI9486L are quite different, mutually incompatible controller chips, so be careful here identifying which one you have. (or just try both, should not break if you misidentified)

-DGPIO_TFT_DATA_CONTROL=number: Specifies/overrides which GPIO pin to use for the Data/Control (DC) line on the 4-wire SPI communication. This pin number is specified in BCM pin numbers. If you have a 3-wire SPI display that does not have a Data/Control line, set this value to -1, i.e. -DGPIO_TFT_DATA_CONTROL=-1 to tell fbcp-ili9341 to target 3-wire ("9-bit") SPI communication.

-DGPIO_TFT_RESET_PIN=number: Specifies/overrides which GPIO pin to use for the display Reset line. This pin number is specified in BCM pin numbers. If omitted, it is assumed that the display does not have a Reset pin, and is always on.

-DGPIO_TFT_BACKLIGHT=number: Specifies/overrides which GPIO pin to use for the display backlight line. This pin number is specified in BCM pin numbers. If omitted, it is assumed that the display does not have a GPIO-controlled backlight pin, and is always on. If setting this, also see the #define BACKLIGHT_CONTROL option in config.h.

fbcp-ili9341 always uses the hardware SPI0 port, so the MISO, MOSI, CLK and CE0 pins are always the same and cannot be changed. The MISO pin is actually not used (at the moment at least), so you can just skip connecting that one. If your display is a rogue one that ignores the chip enable line, you can omit connecting that as well, or might also be able to get away by connecting that to ground if you are hard pressed to simplify wiring (depending on the display).

To get good performance out of the displays, you will drive the displays far out above the rated speed specs (the rated specs yield about ~10fps depending on display). Due to this, you will need to explicitly configure the target speed you want to drive the display at, because due to manufacturing variances each display copy reaches a different maximum speed. There is no "default speed" that fbcp-ili9341 would use. Setting the speed is done via the option

-DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=even_number: Sets the clock divisor number which along with the Pi core_freq= option in /boot/config.txt specifies the overall speed that the display SPI communication bus is driven at. SPI_frequency = core_freq/divisor. SPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR must be an even number. Default Pi 3B and Zero W core_freq is 400MHz, and generally a value -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=6 seems to be the best that a ILI9341 display can do. Try a larger value if the display shows corrupt output, or a smaller value to get higher bandwidth. See ili9341.h and waveshare35b.h for data points on tuning the maximum SPI performance. Safe initial value could be something like -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=30.

-DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON: If set, enables fbcp-ili9341 to control the display backlight in the given backlight pin. The display will go to sleep after a period of inactivity on the screen. If not, backlight is not touched.

-DDISPLAY_CROPPED_INSTEAD_OF_SCALING=ON: If set, and source video frame is larger than the SPI display video resolution, the source video is presented on the SPI display by cropping out parts of it in all directions, instead of scaling to fit.

-DDISPLAY_BREAK_ASPECT_RATIO_WHEN_SCALING=ON: When scaling source video to SPI display, scaling is performed by default following aspect ratio, adding letterboxes/pillarboxes as needed. If this is set, the stretching is performed breaking aspect ratio.

-DDISPLAY_SWAP_BGR=ON: If this option is passed, red and blue color channels are reversed (RGB<->BGR) swap. Some displays have an opposite color panel subpixel layout that the display controller does not automatically account for, so define this if blue and red are mixed up.

-DDISPLAY_INVERT_COLORS=ON: If this option is passed, pixel color value interpretation is reversed (white=0, black=31/63). Default: black=0, white=31/63. Pass this option if the display image looks like a color negative of the actual colors.

-DLOW_BATTERY_PIN=: Specifies a GPIO pin that can be polled to get the battery state. By default, when this is set, a low battery icon will be displayed if the pin is pulled low (see config.h for ways in which this can be tweaked).

Here is a full example of what to type to build and run, if you have the Adafruit 2.8" 320x240 TFT w/ Touch screen for Raspberry Pi with ILI9341 controller:

If the above does not work, try specifying -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=8 or =10 to make the display run a little slower, or try with -DUSE_DMA_TRANSFERS=OFF to troubleshoot if DMA might be the issue. If you are using another display controller than ILI9341, using a much higher value, like 30 or 40 may be needed. When changing CMake options, you can reissue the CMake directive line without having to reclone or recreate the build directory. However you may need to manually delete file CMakeCache.txt between changing options to avoid CMake remembering old settings.

If the size of the default HDMI output /dev/fb0 framebuffer differs from the resolution of the display, the source video size will by default be rescaled to fit to the size of the SPI display. fbcp-ili9341 will manage setting up this rescaling if needed, and it will be done by the GPU, so performance should not be impacted too much. However if the resolutions do not match, small text will probably appear illegible. The resizing will be done in aspect ratio preserving manner, so if the aspect ratios do not match, either horizontal or vertical black borders will appear on the display. If you do not use the HDMI output at all, it is probably best to configure the HDMI output to match the SPI display size so that rescaling will not be needed. This can be done by setting the following lines in /boot/config.txt:

These lines hint native applications about the default display mode, and let them render to the native resolution of the TFT display. This can however prevent the use of the HDMI connector, if the HDMI connected display does not support such a small resolution. As a compromise, if both HDMI and SPI displays want to be used at the same time, some other compatible resolution such as 640x480 can be used. See Raspberry Pi HDMI docum
