TFT display family

Glyn, in collaboration with Emerging Display Technologies, has developed a family of TFT displays of various sizes (currently 3.5, 4.3, 5.0, 5.7 and 7″) and resolution (from 320 x 240 to 800 x 480) that are compatible with one another and have a common interface.

Additional benefits include a modern user interface with touch panel option, flexibility and easy upgrade path, power efficiency with LED backlighting and minimised noise level with smart PCB design.

The family consists of TFT displays which have a custom Glyn board on the reverse side to ensure all displays have an identical interface. All displays have LEDs for backlighting which can be dimmed. All signals are also received via one cable and a single 3.3 V is needed for the display with all the other voltages internally generated.

All modules have the following features in common: operating temperature of -20 to 70 °C (without touch panel); optional touch panel for all modules; LED backlight; LED lifetime of 40,000 h at 25 °C; 40-pin ZIF connector; compatible interface (except 4.3 and 7.0″ which have no reset pin); 3.3 V single supply; onboard LED driver; optional bypass of LED driver for direct access to LEDs; analog or PWM dimming; large dimming range.
