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.
