A fully digital driving circuit for thin-film transistor liquid crystal display can offer benefits, including less power consumption and a shortened design schedule. Using the pulsewidth signal to control the moment to stop the ramp voltage, the pixel voltage can be set accurately. In this paper, the possible issues of power consumption, device nonuniformity, and parasitic capacitance are well-studied to prove the feasibility and advantages of the digital driving method. It is prospectively…Expand

This paper presents a novel 2-D-3-D switchable gate driver circuit for active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) applications using the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology. While consisting of 12 thin-film transistors (TFTs), the proposed gate driver circuit includes a pull-up circuit, two alternative circuits, and a key pull-down circuit. To provide a stable output waveform for switching between the 2-D and 3-D modes in AMLCD panel, the proposed circuit can improve the…Expand

As an option, you can order this TFT pre-assembled onto a breakout/carrier board. The board allows easy prototyping through its 0.1" headers. You can also include the carrier board in your end product to simplify construction and assembly.

This development kit includes everything needed to get started with the 3.5" EVE module: a 320x240 display mounted on an EVE2 graphically accelerated PCBA, a Seeeduino, an EVE breakout board, jumper wires, USB cable and a ribbon cable. We even assemble this kit and pre-load some demonstration software so that you can have a functioning module in your hands within seconds.

Because the display module includes an EVE (embedded video engine) chip, it"s a perfect choice for an HMI. EVE is a graphics controller solution that can control both display and audio operations. Additionally, Bridgetek/FTDI supports the EVE chip with graphical design toolchains to aid in development.

This kit consists of a CFAF320240F-035T a 320x240 3.5" Full Color TFT LCD module mounted on a carrier board (CFA-10074). The carrier board supports a current driver for the LED backlight of the display.

This TFT LCD display module is perfect for the designer who"s looking to have a graphic and audio processor already embedded in the display unit. Powered by an FTDI/BridgeTek FT810 Embedded Video Engine (EVE) graphics accelerator chip, simply send over a few commands via SPI or I2C and the EVE will put your stored image up on the display. Need to draw a line, create dials/knobs/buttons, or rotate an image? Send a handful of bytes and the EVE will take care of it.

Driver ICs are critical components of TFT-LCD panels. Driver IC receives image data and delivers precise analog voltages or currents to activate the pixels on the display. When voltage is applied to the liquid crystal within each pixel cell, the liquid crystal is bent, thereby changing the intensity of light that passes through each individual pixel. Combined with the colour filter on the front glass substrate, each pixel generates its own colours which, together with other pixels, make up the whole image on the panel.

Driver ICs for mobile phones include gate drivers and source drivers. Gate drivers turn on the transistor within each pixel cell on the horizontal row on the panel. When the transistors are turned on, source drivers will generate voltages that are applied to the liquid crystal within each pixel cell on that row for data input. The combination determines the colours generated by each pixel. Small-sized panel applications, such as mobile phones, require one source driver and one gate driver, which are integrated into a single chip due to space and cost considerations. Large-sized panel applications, such as television display or desktop monitor, normally have multiple gate drivers and source drivers which are installed separately on the panel.

Resolution and number of channels: Resolution refers to the number of pixels in width dimension multiplied by the number of pixels in height dimension. For example, a WVGA colour display screen with 480 x 800 pixels has 1,440 pixels from side to side and 800 pixels from top to bottom, and therefore it has a total number of 384,000 pixels (480 x 800 pixels). Each pixel is a sample of an original image and more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original image. Therefore, resolution usually determines the level of fine detail within an image displayed on a panel. Each pixel is usually made up of one red column, one green column and one blue column. These three primary colours are combined to make a wide range of colours. For example, a colour display screen with 480 x 800 pixels has 480 red columns, 480 green columns and 480 blue columns for a total of 1,440 columns and 800 rows. Therefore, the display drivers ICs need to drive 1,440 column outputs and 800 row outputs.

Colour depth: Colour depth is the number of colours that can be displayed on a screen, which is determined by the number of shades of a colour, also known as grayscale, which can be shown by panel. The number of distinct colours that can be generated by a pixel depends on the number of bits of the driver IC.

Higher level of integration: Due to the size constraint of mobile phones, the space available for components is usually limited. In order to stay competitive in the market, customers demand for higher levels of integration and simpler module assembly process to manufacture more compact panels and reduce unit costs. Small-sized panel applications require one source driver, one gate driver and timing controller which can be installed as separate semiconductors or as an integrated single-chip driver. Display driver IC manufacturers aim to offer highly integrated chips combining the source driver, gate driver and timing controller, as well as other functional circuits such as memory, power circuit and image processors, into one single chip. Due to the size and power constraints of such driver IC, single-chip driver IC is generally more complex to design.

The XC9516 series can offer three different power supplies to TFT-LCD panels. These power supplies consist of a step-up DC/DC converter for a source driver, positive and negative charge pumps for a gate driver.

This IC has power-on sequences to keep inrush current as small when output voltage rises. The step-up DC/DC output can be used as power-on sequences with adding a P-channel FET as external component. Also, the FET can shut down a path to the power input line when CE pin is low.

An IC for which any output voltage can be set by the reference voltage of the FB pins and the external dividing resistor. The output voltage is determined by the RFB1 and RFB2 values, using the following formula: VOUT = Vref × (RFB1 + RFB2)/RFB2

This circuit forcibly turns off the driver transistor when VIN drops below the UVLO voltage. If the input voltage recovers to the value which is equal to the specified value or more, UVLO will be released to resume the switching operation. It is resumed by the soft-start function. The paused state by UVLO is not the shutdown. The pulse output is stopped, but the internal circuit is operating.

Have your product stand out with the DT050ATFT display - our 5” TFT LCD module with full viewing angle. The full viewing angle feature allows the display contents of the LCD to be visible from practically any angle. It"s a cost-effective enhancement compared to using an IPS display. The 5" TFT has 800 x 480 RGB resolution and supports 24-bit parallel RGB input mode. The LCD uses two driver ICs to drive the display: a source driver with TCON (Ilitek ILI6122) and a gate driver (Ilitek ILI5960). It also is available with either a resistive touchscreen or capacitive touchscreen panel. This 5 inch LCD is an ideal option for a variety of digital devices including video or POS systems.
