tft display image factory

I found the TFT screen and Uno on Banggood.com about a month ago and over the weekend I was messing with the pair and found the tftbmp draw code in the demo.. I extended it with the ability to read any bmp file on the SD card.. so all you do is put your bitmaps on the SD and plug it in.. Having to add/edit/recompile/reload the Uno everytime is BS... Here is my code:

Super Mobile HR TFT LCDs provide brilliant, vivid images outdoors where it is bright, but their visibility is poor indoors, where ambient light levels are lower.

Thus, though the display panel is transflective, it provides high transmittance and excellent image quality on a par with conventional transmissive TFT-LCDs.

The High Transmission Advanced TFT-LCD is suitable for applications where indoor use is of primary importance but outdoor use is occasionally necessary.

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 liquid crystal displays used in calculators and other devices with similarly simple displays have direct-driven image elements, and therefore a voltage can be easily applied across just one segment of these types of displays without interfering with the other segments. This would be impractical for a large display, because it would have a large number of (color) picture elements (pixels), and thus it would require millions of connections, both top and bottom for each one of the three colors (red, green and blue) of every pixel. To avoid this issue, the pixels are addressed in rows and columns, reducing the connection count from millions down to thousands. The column and row wires attach to transistor switches, one for each pixel. The one-way current passing characteristic of the transistor prevents the charge that is being applied to each pixel from being drained between refreshes to a display"s image. Each pixel is a small capacitor with a layer of insulating liquid crystal sandwiched between transparent conductive ITO layers.

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.

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.

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.

LCD (liquid crystal display) is the most widely used display technology. They are used for automotive, appliance, telecommunication, home appliance, industrial, consumer electronic, military etc. But LCD displays have some drawbacks, such as slow response, narrow viewing angle, lower contrast etc. One annoying phenomenon often complained about by users is image sticking.

If a fixed image remains on a display for a long period of time, the faint outline of that image will persist on the screen for some time before it finally disappears. Normally, it happens to LCD and plasma screens, but for the purpose of our discussion, we will focus on TFT LCD displays. Image sticking is also referred to as “image persistence”, “image retention”, “ghosting” or “burn-in image.”

An LCD screen includes a thin layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between two electrodes on glass substrates, with two polarizers on each side. A polarizer is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. The electrodes need to be transparent so the most popular material is ITO (indium tin oxide). Since an LCD can’t emit light itself, normally a backlight is placed behind an LCD screen in order to be seen in a dark environment. The light sources used for a backlight can be LED (light emitting diode) or CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamps). The LED backlight is the most popular. Of course, if you want a color display, a layer of RGB color filter can be made into an LCD cell. A touch panel can also be added in front of an LCD display.

When an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal molecules, they become untwisted. When the polarized light reaches the layer of liquid crystal molecules, the light passes straight through without being twisted. When it reaches the second polarizer, it will also pass through, meaning the viewer sees the display as bright. Because LCD technology uses electric fields instead of electric current (electron passes through), it has low power consumption.

The cause of LCD image sticking is due to an accumulation of ionic impurities inside the liquid crystal materials. When slight DC voltage occurs, the charged impurities will move the electrodes and build up a reversed voltage field. When the power is removed, the reversed voltage will kick in to make the LCD molecules twisted different from the other part of the LCD, which shows up as the image sticking. The longer the time, the more impurities will migrate, the larger the reversed voltage will be, and the imaging sticking will appear worse.

Using the black/white chess board image shown above: Static image it for 2 hours, then change to 50% gray for 1 min. Use an 8% neutral density filter to check if it is OK.

If a static image must be displayed, try to use block patterns instead of distinct border lines. Try to use medium gray hues and use colors that are symmetric to the middle grey level at the boundary of two different colors. Gradually shift the border lines once in a while.

For LCD manufacturers, try to protect liquid crystal materials exposed to the air by using nitrogen gas or dried air to avoid absorbing moisture that can create a huge amount of impurities in the liquid crystal material, as water is an excellent solvent. Controlling the humidity of the fab is also very important, as is selecting the right liquid crystal materials and their manufacturers. Different liquid crystal materials have different moisture absorbing abilities. Different liquid crystal material factories have different capabilities in terms of controlling impurities. Despite the fact that high purity can mean high in cost, using higher purity liquid crystal materials and designing the circuitry to get rid of DC in LCD display drivers can avoid an image sticking issue.

Unlike the “burn-in” issue common with CRTs, an image sticking issue is not permanent. It will eventually recover after some time. One way to expedite erasing a retained image is to have a screen on in an all-black pattern for 4-6 hours. If you want to make it even faster, the display can be put into an environment with a temperature of around 35 to 50°C for 1-2 hours. As this elevated temperature is within the working temperature range, it will not damage the LCD panels.

Defect pattern detection and classification are challenging for thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) manufacturing. Limitations of the existing solutions for automatic optical inspection can be traced in part to the lack of a framework within which different existing and new defect patterns can be analyzed, while integrating domain knowledge and effective technologies. This study aims to develop a framework for image-based defect classification that employs the convolution neural networks without using complex and time-consuming image-processing processes in advance. An empirical study was conducted in a leading TFT-LCD manufacturing in Taiwan for validation. The results have shown that the defect patterns can be effectively classified by the proposed convolutional neural networks that outperform the existing approaches such as Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. The developed solution is implemented to effectively support the engineers.

According to the characteristics of the industry, the system built-in a variety of industry display templates, intelligent split screen technology to support the screen video, pictures, text and other forms of free arrangement of content.
