Electronic Displays
Other Embedded Systems with Graphic Displays
• Panel PC
- ePC e.g. mounted on display
- Easy to integrate into systems
Just for reference because
of COTS systems !
• Serial Interfacing

- 8 Bit µC can ‘drive’ up to XGA
- USB up to QVGA video stream
- Suitable for low volume and if
only low computing power is required

Human Action Cycle
Forming a goal
What happened ↔ what was intended
Translate goal to task(s)
Planning the action (sequence)
Interpreting the outcome
Perceiving what happened
Executing the action (sequence)

What is a Display Driver ?
A data to e-o converter
But there are different types :
• Display controller
(digital ‘image’ data → interface data)
Here
• Interface & timing controller
(interface data → driving principle, here FPD)
• Row driver
(row selection for matrix drive)
• Column driver

Summary of Introduction
• Data to display should be the starting point for embedded display systems
• Display resolution determines controller and user interface
• Low information content displays can be optimized for perceived value
• High resolution and low volume systems often base on COTS ePCs
• Display driving has many topics like interfacing, …
Displays are the key component
in terms of price and user interface!

Electronic Displays
Issues for Driving of Displays (Non-PC)
• Direct (µC - I/O)
+ No additional IC etc.
+ Easy
- Only lowest ‘resolution’
- SW easy but every segment has to be set
• Character & Graphics Controller with Built-in RAM
+ Minor SW because of e.g. character generator
+ No load on µC, ‘no’ timing issues
- Only up to mid resolution (240 x 128), some QVGA available
• Graphics Displays (≥
≥ QVGA, color)
+ High resolution
+ Some high end µC with built-in display support
- Huge timing issues
- Real time display driving to avoid failures
- No support for pixel and graphics (use libs or OS)

High Resolution Displays (≥

• Graphics Displays (≥
≥ QVGA, color) [as before]
+ High resolution
+ Some high end µC with built-in display support
- Huge timing issues
- Real time display driving to avoid failures
- No support for pixel and graphics (use of libs or OS)
• Number of pixels for QVGA: 320 x 240 = 76,800 > 16 Bit no 8-Bit µC !
Same for color ≈ 140 KByte (2 Byte color [16 Bit] per pixel) !
• Data rate for CQVGA: 320 x 240 x 60 Frames/s x 2 Byte (color) ≈ 10 MHz
- Not achievable with many 16-Bit µC
- ‘Real time’ data output to display input (row and column data)

NXP ARM 9 with LCD Output
Color LCD Controller
The LH7A400’s LCD Controller is programmable to support up to 1,024 ×
768, 16-bit color LCD panels. It interfaces directly to STN, color STN, TFT,
AD-TFT, and HR-TFT panels.
Unlike other LCD controllers, the LH7A400’s LCD Controller incorporates the
timing conversion logic from TFT to HR- and AD-TFT, allowing a direct
interface to these panels and minimizing external chip count.
The Color LCD Controller features support for:
• Up to 1,024 × 768 Resolution
• 16-bit Video Bus
• STN, Color STN, AD-TFT, HR-TFT, TFT panels
• Single and Dual Scan STN panels
• Up to 15 Gray Shades
