Versatile displays for PCB mounting


With the EA DOG series, DISPLAY VISIONS has a range of flat, modern COG displays with an integrated driver. Modest power consumption and usable in 3.3 V systems, they are particularly suitable as displays in handheld devices. The compact text and graphic LCDs are less than 3 mm thick. Designed as chip-on-glass displays, the controller is already integrated into these displays. The text displays come with built-in char- acter sets. These high-contrast displays can be soldered directly onto the PCB. They run with 3.3 V without auxiliary voltage and the current consumption is between 150 and 900 µA depending on the model and size. They are controlled using a 3 or 4-wire SPI, or, for some models, even using a 2-wire I²C or 4 or 8-bit data bus. The text and graphic displays are currently available in 13 different sizes, from 55x31 mm to 94x67 mm. This includes 6 text displays with one to four lines and 7 graphic displays with resolutions between 102x64 pixels to 240x128 pixels. There are five high-contrast LCDs to choose from: reflective and transmissive STN, STN with blue background and black/ white positive and negative FSTN. The contrast voltage can be set by command.
