As you might have already figured, making things easier for our customers is something of an obsession for us. They come to us with a challenge, problem or just a really great idea and we do our very best to make it happen. Our latest TFT display is a great example – it needs no host processor, and developers can work directly to the display platform. Yes, it’s a self-contained intelligent system with display.
To make this possible, a powerful STM32 microcontroller with an integrated LCD-TFT Display Controller (LTDC) is built into the display itself, removing the need for an external CPU. This allows for application logic, graphical interfaces and I/O control to run directly on it. There are fewer components (so lower costs), development is quicker (getting your product to market faster) and the whole system is simpler.
And it’s been carefully designed with the demands of industrial and medical applications in mind, which becomes clear when you see the number of customization and connectivity options available:
For engineers, the removal of costly microprocessor units is just another layer of benefit on a solution which already delivers in a big way. It frees them to focus on application innovation over complex system integration. And the architecture of the display supports efficient rendering and data handling without continuous CPU involvement, so it’s well suited to applications that need high energy efficiency and real-time performance.
In short: It’s a platform that makes makes building responsive, good-looking interfaces a whole lot faster, cheaper and, most importantly, easier.
Our Avnet Displays come in a range of form-factors and our display-experts are on hand to guide you in the creation of display or touch solutions that meet your requirements. Find out how Avnet Displays can propel your product innovation and get in touch today.
In the industrial world, the capacitive touchscreen can be a sensitive soul. It performs beautifully under ideal conditions, but this is a luxury most industries can’t afford.
There’s a word we really like here at Avnet Displays: simplification. Our engineers ask themselves, “how can we make this easier for our customers and their end-users?” and “what will it take to make using this display as simple as possible?”
Let us know about your product or your challenge and our team will get in touch to discuss how we can help.
