This Battery Tender product (by Deltran) is a handy gadget when you need to monitor your battery"s voltage output and state of charge. The Liquid Crystal Display tells you the actual voltage your battery is producing. It comes on when you initially plug in the unit, or later you can press the button to activate the display.

Plugs easily into your Battery Tender Quick Connect to allow easy read out of Battery voltage and color coded LEDs to indicate battery state of charge

Engineers looking for low voltage LCD displays are on the rise. I am thinking of buying stock in battery companies. I am not suggesting that you should make the same investment, but I am seeing more and more designs for battery powered LCD applications come across my desk.

People are more mobile now than ever, and they want to take everything with them. This includes games, spread sheets, digital cameras, calendars and thousands of books. All of which can be kept in the palm of your hand thanks to low voltage LCD displays that are located in tablets and other electronic products.

With more electronic products converting from power cord to battery or solar, there is an increasing demand for designs to incorporate low voltage LCD display modules. In short, extending battery life is critical and has become the primary requirement in new mobile devices.

One of the highest power consuming components in a circuit is the Liquid Crystal Display. For many years color and monochrome LCD display panels required 12 volts, 7 volts, 5 volts or even dual operating voltages. Now much of that has given way to 3.3V custom LCD Displays and 3V custom LCD display modules. It is all part of the drive to reduce power consumption in LCD displays.

What made lower voltages for LCDs possible?One reason why LCD modules have been able to lower their operating voltage is because the LCD module is integrated with a power saving controller chip from companies such as NXP, Microchip and others.

The third reason is the addition of charge pumps. Charge pumps, also referred to as bump circuits or booster circuits, allow the designer to supply a lower LCD input voltage (VDD) and have it ‘bumped’ up to the voltage necessary to drive the LCD (VLCD).

There are some concerns with custom LCD modules incorporating a charge pump. Although they allow the design engineer to work with a VDD of 3V or 3.3V, they do not behave very well in some environments.

Then, hookup your input voltage that you wish to measure to the yellow/white and black wires. If you wish to measure the voltage that is powering the device, simply twist the red and yellow/white leads together.

NOTE: Display color may vary depending on what our Chinese supplier sends us. Some may also have a calibration pot. Some may not. If you have a specific requirement for blue, please call us before placing your order to verify stock. 425-641-7275 (press 1) ALSO NOTE: These are NOT super precision instruments. They will usually be *about* 300 millivolts off either plus or minus. If thats too much, you may want to ask us for more precision options.

There are a wide variety of LCD technologies including TFT, character, segment, graphic and OLEDs; but they all share the same characteristics and follow the same rules of electronics.

Alternating Current (AC) is not polarized. This means that AC does not have a positive and negative side like a battery. AC voltage is measured in Cycles per second or Hertz (HZ). For example, 60 cycle or 60 hz. AC power alternates (changes) from a positive voltage to a negative voltage 60 times a second ( see Figure 1). Most of the outlets in your house are rated at 120VAC.

Every time AC voltage switches from positive to negative an electrical field is generated in the atmosphere around the wire or component. When the electrical field comes into contact with metal, or wire, a current is generated in the metal or wire. If this effect is not desired the result is interference (called EMI or noise), the same effect is used to couple signals, drive electrical motors and transmit radio signals. This electrical field sustains the voltage over long distances. That is why power lines carry AC.

Direct Current is always measured with respect to ground. (Ground is zero volts, so voltage is measured by starting at zero) DC has a distinct polarity, either Positive or Negative. A positive voltage is considered to be more positive than ground. A negative voltage is considered to be more negative than ground. While current always flows from positive to negative, we characterize the flow from the source and always assume that current flows towards ground. A negative voltage is considered to flow from the source towards ground ( Figure 3). DC voltage is used in applications where stability in the supply voltage is needed or where the supply is from a battery. DC voltage has to travel from the source to the termination. The ground is considered to be the termination or ending point. All current flows towards the ground plane, the ground plane is what is used to complete the circuit.

Over long distances Direct Current is absorbed by the transmitting medium, and as a result less current finds it way to the termination resulting in a reduction of power. DC voltage does not create electrical interference. The farther DC travels the less electricity arrives on the other end. Think of this as a sprinkler hose with hundreds of little holes in it that allow water to spray out. One end of the hose is connected to the water source, and on the other end of the hose very little water spills out. This is how it is with Direct Current that is carried a long distance. When the electricity reaches the house, it is converted from Alternating Current to Direct Current.

A flashlight has two wires. The wires are connected to a DC battery on one end and a light bulb on the other end. As in Figure 4, one wire is always positive and one is always negative. This is the type of current that is used by LED backlights, which we will discuss in the LCD Manual.

Engineers will design their product around the dimensions of the LCD display. For this reason, it is critical to make sure there is a reference system in place. In the construction industry, dimensions are referenced as: length, width and height.

One critical component is the dimensions between the mounting holes of the display. This is the first item we look at when helping a customer locate a replacement LCD.

The number of times per second a signal, or voltage, completes a full cycle from zero volts to maximum positive voltage through zero to maximum negative voltage and back to zero again. Frequency is measured in Hertz and/or cycles per second. ( Figure 5)

The frequency in your house is 60Hz. This means the voltages switches between positive voltage and negative voltage 60 times a second. So the voltage is +120V then –120V then back to +120V. This happens 60 times a second.

In the data sheet below ( Figure 6) the LED backlight voltage (V) and current (I) is in DC. The EL backlight power is 110V ACand it shows the frequency to be 400Hz. That means that the voltage on this EL backlight switches between positive and negative 400 times a second.

The disadvantage to AC current is that it generates what is known as ‘noise’. Noise is radiated out from the light and can interfere with the LCD electronics that are nearby. This noise is also called EMIbut most people just call it noise.

In the world of LCD displays, there are two standards: the US and the rest of the world. The US still prefers inches, feet etc. over meters. Although the majority of engineers in the US prefer metric over the US’s SAE system.

Metrics is one word that most American’s do not understand or use in daily life. But in order to work with LCD’s, or any weights and measures used outside of the United States (such as tools, cars, money, travel, water, etc.) one must have an understanding of metrics. The United States and parts of Canada are the only places in the world not to use metrics.

Meters come in different sizes. Common examples are: centimeter (c), a millimeter (m), even a picometer (p). The only one we normally use in working with LCD’s is the millimeter.

With regard to LCD’s, a multiplier is a letter that goes in front of another word, or follows a number, to express its increased or diminished size. There are three main letters we will use.

LCD’s use very small amounts of current, and are not referred to whole amps of current, but rather milliamps, or mAmps. If an amp is cut into one thousand equal pieces, a mAmp would be only one of those pieces. And 20 mAmps would be 20 of those pieces, or 20/1,000 of an amp.

As stated above, volts come as either positive or negative. Sometimes a LCD will need both a positive and a negative voltage to work. If a data or spec sheet calls out a voltage of 5V, it is assumed to be a plus 5 volts (+5 volts). The data sheet will put a negative (–) sign in front of the voltage amount if it is negative.

To help us gain an understanding of voltage and current, we will introduce the concepts with an illustration using water as the example. For the basic concept, think of voltage as how much water volume we have in gallons, and current as how fast the water moves in gallons per minute.

Using our water analogy again, we can say that voltage (volts) is how much water is needed to make a plant grow, and current (amps) is how fast the water is moving along the irrigation line.

As a general rule, voltage is not the driving force in electronics. It is the current. 120V(volts) at 1mA (read 1 milliamp or 1/1000 of a amp) is barely enough to turn on a small light bulb. On the other hand 120V(volts) at 13 Amps is enough to run a TV or microwave.

LCD’s use small amounts of volts and amps. Think of a LCD as the cactus from our illustration, the LCD’s usually run on 5 volts or less, and the current is around 50mA at the most.
