1 Introduction
The Display Xplained module gives the possibility to evaluate a 240 x 320 pixel
(QVGA) graphical RGB TFT display with a 4-wire touch interface and LED
backlight. The display is interfaced with a simple SPI interface to send and receive
commands and data. The Xplain kit provides tested low–level drivers and highlevel functions in order to get the developer quickly up to speed with his application
development.

The LCD module (ET024006DHU from EDT) has a 240 x 320 pixel resolution, with up
to 6 bit pr color, giving 256k colors. The Display Xplained board uses a regular 4-wire
SPI interface to access the display. The touch interface is a 4-wire resistive touch that
should be interfaced to ADC/IO pins to work. The backlight system has three white
LEDs in parallel that can draw up to 60mA at 3.3V. For further details see the
datasheet from EDT.
