TFT displays are full color LCDs providing bright, vivid colors with the ability to show quick animations, complex graphics, and custom fonts with different touchscreen options. Available in industry standard sizes and resolutions. These displays come as standard, premium MVA, sunlight readable, or IPS display types with a variety of interface options including HDMI, SPI and LVDS. Our line of TFT modules include a custom PCB that support HDMI interface, audio support or HMI solutions with on-board FTDI Embedded Video Engine (EVE2).

Showcase high quality graphics and images on our 800 x 480 7” TFT display! The DT070CTFT LCD module is an upgraded version to our DT070ATFT module. Compared to the previous model, this new 7 inch display offers improved viewing angle and brighter LEDs. The DT070CTFT also uses the Himax HX8264E + HX8664B display drivers. This LCD display is available with a resistive or capacitive touchscreen panel.

The DT022BTFT uses the same connections as the DT022CTFT, with the exception of the backlight (which has connections shown in the Displaytech datasheet).

This TFT display module comprises a 7" TFT with capacitive touch and an EVE accelerator PCB. The EVE accelerator PCB simplifies interfacing with the display as it makes the display, touch, backlight, and any added audio features appear to the host MCU as a memory-mapped SPI device. The host controller can send high-level commands to the EVE chip to quickly and easily describe images, text, buttons, tables, and more.

At 7" on the diagonal, this display offers plenty of space, making it a great choice for an information panel, menu, etc. Plus, thanks to the extremely wide viewing angle achieved using in-plane switching (IPS), this display can be read equally well above or below eye level.

TFT-LCD technology is based on semiconductor IC manufacturing processes, and is unique in that it uses glass substrates rather than traditional silicon wafers. For the TFT manufacturing process, thin film formation, such as CVD and PVD processes, is a very important part. The ODF process has been developed for the assembly of color filters and TFT substrates, and is used in large size LCDs.

First of all, the movement and arrangement of liquid crystal molecules need electrons to drive, so in the carrier of liquid crystal – TFT glass, there must be able to conduct the part to control the movement of liquid crystal, here will use ITO (Indium TIn Oxide, transparent conductive metal) to do this thing. ITO is transparent, also known as thin film conductive crystal so that it will not block the backlight.

The different arrangement of liquid crystal molecules and the rapid movement changes to ensure that each pixel accurately display the corresponding color, and the image changes precisely and quickly, which requires precision control of the liquid crystal molecules. ITO film requires special processing, as if printed circuitry on a PCB board, drawing conductive lines throughout the LCD board.

For array panels with back-channel etched TFT structure.The main process can be divided into 5 steps (5 lightings) according to the sequence of the layers to be made and the interrelationship between the layers.

The process includes: PECVD triple layer continuous film formation, island lithography, island dry lithography and other processes. After these processes, the final amorphous silicon island for TFT is formed on the glass substrate. The graphics obtained after the process is completed are shown in the following figure.

Specific processes include: S/D metal layer sputtering into a film, S/D lithography, S/D wet lithography, channel dry lithography and other processes. After these processes, the source, drain, channel and data lines of the TFT are finally formed on the glass substrate. At this point, the TFT has been produced. The graphics obtained after the process is completed are shown in the following figure.

The process includes PECVD, photolithography, and dry lithography of vias. After these processes, the final TFT channel protective insulation layer and guide through the hole are formed on the glass substrate. The graphics obtained after the process is completed are shown in the following figure.

Color filters can be produced by various methods; photolithography is a typical method. In photolithography, color filters are produced by exposing a glass substrate coated with a photographic color resist through a photomask. The resist is hardened to form the RGB pattern of the LCD.

When making LCD panels it is impossible to produce them one by one, which is too inefficient, so multiple pieces are processed at once and separated by cutting.

A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display that uses thin-film-transistor technologyactive matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-driven (i.e. with segments directly connected to electronics outside the LCD) LCDs with a few segments.

In February 1957, John Wallmark of RCA filed a patent for a thin film MOSFET. Paul K. Weimer, also of RCA implemented Wallmark"s ideas and developed the thin-film transistor (TFT) in 1962, a type of MOSFET distinct from the standard bulk MOSFET. It was made with thin films of cadmium selenide and cadmium sulfide. The idea of a TFT-based liquid-crystal display (LCD) was conceived by Bernard Lechner of RCA Laboratories in 1968. In 1971, Lechner, F. J. Marlowe, E. O. Nester and J. Tults demonstrated a 2-by-18 matrix display driven by a hybrid circuit using the dynamic scattering mode of LCDs.T. Peter Brody, J. A. Asars and G. D. Dixon at Westinghouse Research Laboratories developed a CdSe (cadmium selenide) TFT, which they used to demonstrate the first CdSe thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD).active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AM LCD) using CdSe TFTs in 1974, and then Brody coined the term "active matrix" in 1975.high-resolution and high-quality electronic visual display devices use TFT-based active matrix displays.

The circuit layout process of a TFT-LCD is very similar to that of semiconductor products. However, rather than fabricating the transistors from silicon, that is formed into a crystalline silicon wafer, they are made from a thin film of amorphous silicon that is deposited on a glass panel. The silicon layer for TFT-LCDs is typically deposited using the PECVD process.

Polycrystalline silicon is sometimes used in displays requiring higher TFT performance. Examples include small high-resolution displays such as those found in projectors or viewfinders. Amorphous silicon-based TFTs are by far the most common, due to their lower production cost, whereas polycrystalline silicon TFTs are more costly and much more difficult to produce.

The twisted nematic display is one of the oldest and frequently cheapest kind of LCD display technologies available. TN displays benefit from fast pixel response times and less smearing than other LCD display technology, but suffer from poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. Colors will shift, potentially to the point of completely inverting, when viewed at an angle that is not perpendicular to the display. Modern, high end consumer products have developed methods to overcome the technology"s shortcomings, such as RTC (Response Time Compensation / Overdrive) technologies. Modern TN displays can look significantly better than older TN displays from decades earlier, but overall TN has inferior viewing angles and poor color in comparison to other technology.

Most TN panels can represent colors using only six bits per RGB channel, or 18 bit in total, and are unable to display the 16.7 million color shades (24-bit truecolor) that are available using 24-bit color. Instead, these panels display interpolated 24-bit color using a dithering method that combines adjacent pixels to simulate the desired shade. They can also use a form of temporal dithering called Frame Rate Control (FRC), which cycles between different shades with each new frame to simulate an intermediate shade. Such 18 bit panels with dithering are sometimes advertised as having "16.2 million colors". These color simulation methods are noticeable to many people and highly bothersome to some.gamut (often referred to as a percentage of the NTSC 1953 color gamut) are also due to backlighting technology. It is not uncommon for older displays to range from 10% to 26% of the NTSC color gamut, whereas other kind of displays, utilizing more complicated CCFL or LED phosphor formulations or RGB LED backlights, may extend past 100% of the NTSC color gamut, a difference quite perceivable by the human eye.

The transmittance of a pixel of an LCD panel typically does not change linearly with the applied voltage,sRGB standard for computer monitors requires a specific nonlinear dependence of the amount of emitted light as a function of the RGB value.

In-plane switching was developed by Hitachi Ltd. in 1996 to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of TN panels at that time.

Most panels also support true 8-bit per channel color. These improvements came at the cost of a higher response time, initially about 50 ms. IPS panels were also extremely expensive.

In 2004, Hydis Technologies Co., Ltd licensed its AFFS patent to Japan"s Hitachi Displays. Hitachi is using AFFS to manufacture high end panels in their product line. In 2006, Hydis also licensed its AFFS to Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation.

Less expensive PVA panels often use dithering and FRC, whereas super-PVA (S-PVA) panels all use at least 8 bits per color component and do not use color simulation methods.BRAVIA LCD TVs offer 10-bit and xvYCC color support, for example, the Bravia X4500 series. S-PVA also offers fast response times using modern RTC technologies.

A technology developed by Samsung is Super PLS, which bears similarities to IPS panels, has wider viewing angles, better image quality, increased brightness, and lower production costs. PLS technology debuted in the PC display market with the release of the Samsung S27A850 and S24A850 monitors in September 2011.

TFT dual-transistor pixel or cell technology is a reflective-display technology for use in very-low-power-consumption applications such as electronic shelf labels (ESL), digital watches, or metering. DTP involves adding a secondary transistor gate in the single TFT cell to maintain the display of a pixel during a period of 1s without loss of image or without degrading the TFT transistors over time. By slowing the refresh rate of the standard frequency from 60 Hz to 1 Hz, DTP claims to increase the power efficiency by multiple orders of magnitude.

Due to the very high cost of building TFT factories, there are few major OEM panel vendors for large display panels. The glass panel suppliers are as follows:

External consumer display devices like a TFT LCD feature one or more analog VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort interface, with many featuring a selection of these interfaces. Inside external display devices there is a controller board that will convert the video signal using color mapping and image scaling usually employing the discrete cosine transform (DCT) in order to convert any video source like CVBS, VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc. into digital RGB at the native resolution of the display panel. In a laptop the graphics chip will directly produce a signal suitable for connection to the built-in TFT display. A control mechanism for the backlight is usually included on the same controller board.

The low level interface of STN, DSTN, or TFT display panels use either single ended TTL 5 V signal for older displays or TTL 3.3 V for slightly newer displays that transmits the pixel clock, horizontal sync, vertical sync, digital red, digital green, digital blue in parallel. Some models (for example the AT070TN92) also feature input/display enable, horizontal scan direction and vertical scan direction signals.

New and large (>15") TFT displays often use LVDS signaling that transmits the same contents as the parallel interface (Hsync, Vsync, RGB) but will put control and RGB bits into a number of serial transmission lines synchronized to a clock whose rate is equal to the pixel rate. LVDS transmits seven bits per clock per data line, with six bits being data and one bit used to signal if the other six bits need to be inverted in order to maintain DC balance. Low-cost TFT displays often have three data lines and therefore only directly support 18 bits per pixel. Upscale displays have four or five data lines to support 24 bits per pixel (truecolor) or 30 bits per pixel respectively. Panel manufacturers are slowly replacing LVDS with Internal DisplayPort and Embedded DisplayPort, which allow sixfold reduction of the number of differential pairs.

The bare display panel will only accept a digital video signal at the resolution determined by the panel pixel matrix designed at manufacture. Some screen panels will ignore the LSB bits of the color information to present a consistent interface (8 bit -> 6 bit/color x3).

With analogue signals like VGA, the display controller also needs to perform a high speed analog to digital conversion. With digital input signals like DVI or HDMI some simple reordering of the bits is needed before feeding it to the rescaler if the input resolution doesn"t match the display panel resolution.

In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.

As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.

Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.

I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.

After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.

So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels  down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.

I am new to this forum and have browsed somewhat through it on this subject, but have not found a solution that helps me, so I thought I"d post. I am an analytical chemist working on a project to design a handheld instrument which contains an embedded CPU board and an LCD panel. The LCD panel we selected for the application has an LVDS interface (24-pins, some of which are for the LED back light). The embedded CPU board we have chosen does not have a native LVDS output (I can get one with the addition of a bulky expansion board), but it does have an HDMI output.

The supplier of the panel provided me with a large (8.5" x 3") board that uses a chip (RTD2662, from RMC) that is used to provide a wide range of video connectors (HDMI, DVI, SVideo) for inputs and it drives the particular panel we have been testing via a custom cable the integrator provided. We were able to drive the panel as a second monitor via the HDMI output of a PC. Thus, I know it can be done.

However, we are very space limited in our design, and this board is much too large for us, and is overkill. I only need one HDMI input and the ouptut to go to the LVDS input of the panel. I am looking for help to understand what this will take.

TFT LCD, acronym for Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display, is a technology developed for improve image quality and has countless consumer and industrial uses.

Specifically, within TFT monitors, liquid crystals allow faster and smoother state transitions while saving power, resulting in high image quality on the display, which appears without flickering or bright irregularities (unlike simpler LCD screens).

TFT screens can be of different sizes, ranging from small 3.5" screens to large displays, and can also be identified by their area of use or by certain special features and applications, such as multitouch.

TFT displays are always clearly visible in sunlight, making them particularly suitable for outdoor use. This type of display is also particularly light, thin and energy-efficient, as well as being relatively inexpensive in relation to the technical features offered.

Digimax has an extensive catalogue ofTFT screens from 7" to 23", LCD displays and professional monitors capable of handling a high number of pixels to enable high image quality, high resolution and a screen without glare or flicker.

TFT technology is now a consolidated reality for the choice of monitors, screens and industrial displays: following this market evolution, Digimax offers the latest generation of TFT touch screen solutions, multi touch monitors and transparent displays able to offer the right option for every need.

We offer both standard and customised TFT LCDs through strategic partnerships with leading international suppliers and brands: Ampire displays, Raystar monitors and DLC screens, as well as RockTech, RockTouch and AUO touch screens.

Together with Digimax consultancy, a specific service is also available to configure TFT kits consisting of a TFT LCD monitor and matching PC board: it is possible to customise CPU and coverlens, touch technology used and connection wiring between motherboard and display.

The second is a LVDS 7 inch TFT LCD display model number WF70BSIAHLNN0 with high brightness. The high brightness makes this display suitable for outdoor applications or in commercial/industrial situations where the indoor lighting conditions are bright enough to interfere with readability on a normal TFT. This display also has anti-glare to further improve readability. The 40-pin LVDS interface makes it easy to match LVDS based microcontrollers.
