Epson releases a LCDC Shield Board for Arduino

The S5U13781R01C100 Shield TFT Board adds support for up to WQVGA TFT graphics to the Arduino Due. It is designed to provide evaluation of the S1D13781 LCD controller and enables rapid prototyping on the Arduino Due board.

It uses the Arduino Due’s standard SPI interface, providing a simple hardware connection which is powered by the Arduino Due board. The S1D13781 Shield board includes two FPC connectors (40-pin and 54-pin) which can be used to connect a WQVGA or QVGA TFT panel, available separately.

The S5U13781R01C100 Shield TFT Board integrates a S1D13781 LCD controller which is a simple, multi-purpose Graphics LCD Controller designed to support RGB interface TFT panels. It includes a 384KByte embedded SRAM display buffer which allows WQVGA up to 480×272 at 24bpp. 480×272 at 16bpp (Main Layer) and 480×272 at 8bpp (PIP Layer) for two layer display is also possible. The S1D13781 is a flexible, low power, single chip solution designed to meet the demands of embedded markets and devices where total system cost and battery life are major concerns.
