Inverter for EL Backlight Drive:

z Requires an inverter to operate the EL panel with a battery or DC power supply.

z

Low inverter loss and high light efficiency since it is designed for EL backlight.

z Constant power consumption during operation, given temperature change for extended

hours. This is characterized by the constant sup ply current, which minimizes the
brightness change of the EL panel.

Example of interface to a 4-bit MPU

Interface to a 4-bit MPU can be made through the I/O port of the 4-bit MPU. If there are sufficient I/O ports,
data can be transferred at 8-bit cycles, however, if there are not, data transfer can be accomplished by two
cycles of 4-bit transfers (select interface as 4-bits long). Please take into account that 2 cycles of the BF check
will be necessary and the timing sequence will prove to be complicated.

Features:

1. Interface to an 8-bit or 4-bit MPU is available.

2. 192 types of alphanumerics, symbols and special characters can be displayed with the multi
built-in character generator(ROM).

6. single power supply +5V drive(except for extended temp. type).

7. Low power consumption.

 Interface between data bus line and 4-bit or 8-bit MPU is available.
 Data transfer requires two cycles in case of a 4-bit MPU, and once in case of an 8-bit

MPU.

If Interface Data Is 4-bit long

z

Data transfer is accomplished through 4 bus lines from DB4 to DB7.(while the rest of 4 bus lines from
DB0 to DB3 are not used.)

z Data transfer is completed when 4-bits of data is transferred twice.(upper 4-bits of data, then lower 4-

bits of data.)

If Interface Data Is 8-bits Long

There are two means of adjusting the contrast: Please refer to the following drawing:

1. Internal: J2 short, add the appropriate resister to R7 for contrast control.

2. External: J1 short, R7=0, By adding a VR the contrast can be controlled externally.
Please note the following diagram:

2. Connecting and powering the backlight.

There are two means of connecting and powering the backlight. Please refer to the below
diagrams:

11/10/2004http://www.powertipusa.com/qa.htm

Page 2 of 6Powertip USA

1. PINS 1 & 2 (Vdd & Vss): J3 short, by adding a resistor on R9.

2. PINS 15 & 16: J4 short, by adding a resistor on R8.

NOTE: The brightness can be controlled by the value of R8 or R9.

3. Reference table for establishing the relationship between the temperature
range, viewing direction and type of polarizer:

4. Differences between a driver IC, a controller IC and a controller/driver IC:

Driver IC

a "segment" driver. Common drivers output signals to create the rows or number of
lines while the segment drivers output the necessary signals to create the characters
or columns.

Controller IC

stores this data in RAM. This data is then converted into a serial character pattern and
transferred to the LCD driver IC.

Driver/Controller IC

data from the MPU and stores it in RAM. It accepts commands directly from the MPU
for both the common and segment drivers.

: There are two types of driver IC's. One is a "common" driver and the other

: This IC receives data written in ASCII or JIS code from the MPU and

: It is most commonly found in a graphics module. It receives

7. Comparison between TN, STN and FSTN technologies:

ITEM Contrast Ratio View Angle COST

TN 3 3 3

STN 2 2 2

FSTN 1 1 1

Remarks: with 1 being the best or most expensive and 3 the worst or least expensive.

8. Differences between reflective, transflective and transmissive displays

Reflective

front of the display. Reflective displays require ambient light for the light source since
there is no backlight.

Transflective

to pass through the back, as well as reflecting light from the front.

Transmissive

laminated to the rear polarizer. A backlight must be used with this type of LCD
configuration. The most common is a transmissive negative image.

9. Considerations for attaining a 3.0 Volt LCD module:

: Such display includes a diffuser. This layer reflects the light that enters the

: As type of backing which is bonded to the rear polarizer. Enables light

: A type of LCD which does not have a reflector or transflector
