4.3 tft lcd touch screen pricelist
1st generation: with flat display area and flat touch area, the border can be curved. Orient Display uses glass touch sensor and IML (In-Mold Lamination) technology to produce the products.
2nd generation: with flat display area and flat touch area, the border area can be flat or cuver in the middle. Orient Display still uses glass touch sensor and cold bending lens to produce this kind of products.
3rd generation: with flat display area and curve touch area, the border area can be flat or cuver in the middle. Orient Display uses glass or film touch sensor and hot bending lens to produce this kind of products.
4th generation: with curve display area and curve touch area, the border area can be flat. Orient Display uses flexible touch sensor to produce this kind of products.
Orient can provide the traditional GG (Glass Glass) touch screen, OGS (One Glass Solution) touch screen, PG (Plastic Glass) touch screen. GF (Glass Film) touch screen, GFF (Glass Film Film) touch screen.
Based on the above five types of touch panel technology, Orient Display can also add different kinds of features like different material glove or stylus or pencil touch, water environment touch, salt water environment touch, hover touch, force (3 dimensional) touch, haptic touch etc. Orient Display can also provide from very low-cost fixed area button touch, single (one) finger touch, double finger (finger+ gesture) touch, 5 finger touch, 10 points touch or even 16 points touch.
Considering the different shapes of the touch surface requirements, Orient Display can produce different shapes of 2D touch panel (rectangle, round, octagon etc.), or 2.5D touch screen (round edge and flat surface to create edge-less impression) or 3D (totally curved surface) touch panel.
Considering different strength requirements, Orient Display can provide low-cost chemical tampered soda-lime glass, Asahi (AGC) Dragontrail glass and Corning highest generation Gorilla glass. With different thickness requirement, Orient Display can provide the thinnest 0.5mm OGS touch panel, to thickness more than 10mm tempered glass to prevent vandalizing, or different kinds of plastic touch panel to provide glass piece free (fear) or flexible substrates need.
Orient Display can also provide both dry bonding (OCA, Optical Clear Adhesive), or wet bonding (OCR, Optical Clear Resin and OCG, Optical Clear Glue) to get rid of light reflective in air bonding products to produce high end touch screen monitor much more readable under sunlight and much more robust as well.
Touch panels have been a much better human machine interface which become widely popular. Orient Display has been investing heavy for capacitive touch screen sensor manufacturing capacity and LCD module production ability. With Orient huge production capacity, top notch quality, and competitive pricing, Orient has been working with top LCD panel manufacturers ,AUO, BOE, LG, Innolux and top touch controller manufacturers , Atmel (Microchip, Cypress, Synaptics, Elan, NXP, Goodix, Sharp, Hydis etc. to provide the best touch display technology in the market, such as IPS, MVA, in-cell, on-cell, automotive grade etc.
It is a new technology replace ink printing cover plate with visual area and black border area are integrated with seamless black design using AG/AR surface treatment. Non ink printing AR/AR seamless black optical cover plate can be customized to match touch display module to achieve the best integrated seamless black solution.
Orient Display developed a special smoke film which is very low cost but gives the customer a optical bonding performance. Smoke film uses optical interference to reduce the glass-air interface reflection for air (perimeter) bonding between LCD and touch screen.
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.
For this tutorial I composed three examples. The first example is distance measurement using ultrasonic sensor. The output from the sensor, or the distance is printed on the screen and using the touch screen we can select the units, either centimeters or inches.
The third example is a game. Actually it’s a replica of the popular Flappy Bird game for smartphones. We can play the game using the push button or even using the touch screen itself.
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.
Next we need to define the fonts that are coming with the libraries and also define some variables needed for the program. In the setup section we need to initiate the screen and the touch, define the pin modes for the connected sensor, the led and the button, and initially call the drawHomeSreen() custom function, which will draw the home screen of the program.
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.
Now we need to make the buttons functional so that when we press them they would send us to the appropriate example. In the setup section we set the character ‘0’ to the currentPage variable, which will indicate that we are at the home screen. So if that’s true, and if we press on the screen this if statement would become true and using these lines here we will get the X and Y coordinates where the screen has been pressed. If that’s the area that covers the first button we will call the drawDistanceSensor() custom function which will activate the distance sensor example. Also we will set the character ‘1’ to the variable currentPage which will indicate that we are at the first example. The drawFrame() custom function is used for highlighting the button when it’s pressed. The same procedure goes for the two other buttons.
So the drawDistanceSensor() custom function needs to be called only once when the button is pressed in order to draw all the graphics of this example in similar way as we described for the home screen. However, the getDistance() custom function needs to be called repeatedly in order to print the latest results of the distance measured by the sensor.
Ok next is the RGB LED Control example. If we press the second button, the drawLedControl() custom function will be called only once for drawing the graphic of that example and the setLedColor() custom function will be repeatedly called. In this function we use the touch screen to set the values of the 3 sliders from 0 to 255. With the if statements we confine the area of each slider and get the X value of the slider. So the values of the X coordinate of each slider are from 38 to 310 pixels and we need to map these values into values from 0 to 255 which will be used as a PWM signal for lighting up the LED. If you need more details how the RGB LED works you can check my particular tutorialfor that. The rest of the code in this custom function is for drawing the sliders. Back in the loop section we only have the back button which also turns off the LED when pressed.
