In many projects, standard displays are insufficient – whether due to space constraints, specific design requirements, or strategic considerations. Custom TFT displays offer a powerful and long-term economical solution, especially for high volumes and clear demands regarding installation, availability, and differentiation...
What is the difference – and when is each panel worthwhile? RGB panels (Red-Green-Blue) are based on the classic principle: each pixel consists of three subpixels, each transmitting red, green, or blue light. Through additive color mixing, all representable colors…
In high-ambient-light applications, such as outdoor devices, industrial displays, or battery-powered HMIs, conventional display technology frequently encounters limitations. Standard backlit TFTs consume substantial power and exhibit poor readability under direct sunlight. BOE presents a promising solution with a specialized...
E-paper displays have been established for years as a power-saving and eye-friendly display technology – especially where content is displayed statically and excellent contrast is required. However, the technology has historically suffered from a significant drawback: slow switching times. This is changing…
In industrial automation, the automotive sector, or high-end equipment manufacturing, haptic control elements remain in demand – particularly where tactile feedback, precision, and durable mechanics are critical. However, conventional rotary encoders reach their limits when more complex information needs to be displayed or control levels intuitively…
Micro-LEDs are considered a promising successor to LCDs and OLEDs, offering advantages such as extreme brightness, high energy efficiency, and extended lifespan. But how mature is this technology truly, and how does it compare to established solutions like TFT displays? What are…
Modern machine controls increasingly rely on graphical touch displays instead of simple text or symbol indicators. With increasing display sizes from approximately 3.5″, the demands on the microcontrollers used grow significantly – particularly concerning processing power, RAM, and flash memory. With its STM32H7xx series, STMicroelectronics offers…
Displays are at the core of countless applications, ranging from industrial systems and medical technology to smart home devices. However, whether it's a passive LCD, TFT, or E-Paper: selecting the appropriate display and driving it optimally can not only extend the lifespan of its...
TFT displays do not generate light themselves; they utilize an LED backlight, which is controlled by liquid crystals to allow or block light transmission. For a complete "black," the crystals in TFTs with IPS technology should fully block the light. If they fail to do so, for example, due to…
What is an SPI-TFT Display? TFT displays with an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) are a particularly space-saving and cost-efficient solution for microcontroller projects where data transfer speed and simple wiring are crucial. Unlike parallel interfaces, SPI displays require only a few pins, making them…
