Revolutionising Human-Machine Interfaces with Smart UART TFT Displays

/

Revolutionising HMI with Embedded Smart UART TFT Displays Could you benefit from Embedded Smart UART TFT Displays? Display specialist, Crystal Display Systems Ltd and their Embedded Smart UART TFT Display partner DWIN Technology, further their joint commitment to building long term customer partnerships by offering free development samples and technical support by a dedicated team of engineers based locally and directly in the factory. With DWIN’s extensive choice of smart displays, their powerful DGUS development tool plus local and factory support we believe we can reduce your development times and enable you to build a very cost-effective HMI solution. Cutting-Edge Display Solutions The Smart UART Display range starts at a 1.3” 240(RGB)x240 round display and goes up to a 21.5” 1920×1080 full HD, 16:9 format and encompasses all the key display sizes in-between including bar type, circular and square options. With DWIN now manufacturing their own TFT LCD, this allows them a strong stable supply and to guarantee very competitive pricing on both their TFT LCD and their Smart Displays. In the context of our Smart Displays, smart means making something simpler to integrate and to use which is why all our Smart Displays can be supplied with a 4-Wire Resistive or Capacitive Touch with a full custom touch cover plate and screen-printing service also available.    Advanced Technology for Simplified Integration At the heart of the Smart Display range is DWIN’s own powerful T5L ASIC dual-core 8051 processor and DWIN’s own DGUS II development architecture which allows system designers to develop their graphical user interface, including all touch functions, images, fonts, and music files which can be created in popular software like photoshop etc. and be quickly and simply imported into the Smart Display’s FLASH memory via the DGUS development tool reducing the amount of development time usually associated in creating a dynamic GUI. Reliable and Cost-Effective Solutions All the COB displays have a minimum of 16MB of FLASH memory which can be expanded to 64MB, communication to peripheral devices is provided by integrated serial interfaces, TTL/RS232/RS485 and CAN plus a Wifi-10 interface is also available on some models. The standard operating temperature range for our industrial grade displays is -20°C to +70°C, however with many applications now requiring operation in harsh environments we can also offer variants that have an ultra-wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C as well as high brightness daylight viewing options.   As well as maintaining a long-term stable supply DWIN are always looking to the future so they can be ready to meet the demands of tomorrow’s OEMs. With the trend to make the next generation of product smaller and lighter, DWIN have developed their COF (chip on flex) range of smart modules. The chip-on-flex technology makes the chip-on-board PCB redundant as the display module’s FPC now also includes DWIN’s latest T5L0 ASIC dual-core 8051 processor as well as 8MB of FLASH memory delivering the same powerful performance as their COB counterparts but within a very compact package. CDS Philosophy and Quality Assurance At CDS we know that not all displays suit every environment, a product that is always going to be used in a home or office environment doesn’t necessarily need a 1000cd/m² brightness display with an ultra-wide operating temperature range of -40C~+85C plus a conformal coating, why pay for these attributes that you are never going to need, so it has been refreshing to see that DWIN’s philosophy aligns with our own in the way that they grade their displays.  Tailored Displays for Every Application A commercial grade display is the ideal choice for an indoor environment, where you don’t need high brightness, the environment is always going to be 22~25°C and it may only be used for a couple of hours a day, but the key point is cost! If you’re not paying for what you don’t need, maybe we can hit your target. At the other end of the spectrum, we have our Severe or Harsh Environment grade for when you need a display that must work at -30C, is in an electrically noisy environment with temperature swings from one end of the thermometer to the other it’s good to know your display has been tried and tested and is not going to let you down! Application Grade Explanation Commercial Grade Long-time outdoor use is not supported. LED lifetime is more or less than 10,000 hours Industrial Grade Outdoor use is supported. LED lifetime is more or less than 30,000 hours. The LCDs produced in the factory will have a 15-30 days aging test. Automotive Grade Outdoor use is supported. LED lifetime is more or less than 30,000 hours. The LCDs produced in the factory will have 30 days aging test and 72 hours of 50 degrees C high Medical Grade Outdoor use is supported.

Revolutionising Industrial Displays: Exploring the Untapped Potential of HDMI Interfaces with CDS

/

Revolutionising Industrial Displays: Exploring the Untapped Potential of HDMI Interfaces with CDS advantages of HDMI displays in the context of industrial applications and In the realm of embedded projects, choosing the right display interface is crucial for seamless integration and optimal performance. One such interface that has gained widespread recognition for its versatility and high-quality multimedia capabilities is HDMI, or High-Definition Multimedia Interface. In this blog post, we delve into the advantages of HDMI displays in the context of industrial applications and explore why CDS HDMI panels stand out in the world of embedded projects. Understanding HDMI Interfaces HDMI, an acronym for High-Definition Multimedia Interface, has become the go-to interface for a broad spectrum of audio-visual equipment, ranging from HD television systems to Blu-Ray DVD players and game consoles. Unlike analog connections, HDMI supports high-quality, uncompressed digital video and audio, eliminating the risk of quality loss. The interface is renowned for its simplicity and efficiency, replacing the need for multiple cables with a single cable for both video and audio transmission. As technology advances, older format cables, such as VGA, are becoming obsolete, highlighting the need for a reliable and future-proof interface like HDMI. Plug-and-Play Advantage One of the standout features of HDMI displays is their “plug and play” nature. This characteristic proves invaluable when demonstrating a proof of concept to secure approval from top management. In industrial embedded use cases, such as smart appliances, medical devices, security systems, and more, HDMI displays are available in compact sizes, including 5-inch or 7-inch options. This plug-and-play simplicity allows for fast project starts, easing the process of making design changes swiftly and efficiently. Advantages of HDMI Panels CDS HDMI panels offer several advantages for embedded projects, making them a preferred choice in various industrial applications: Deep Colours: HDMI supports 10-bit, 12-bit, and 16-bit colour depths (RGB or YCbCr), providing vivid and accurate colour representation. Higher Quality: HDMI enables lossless transmission, delivering superior video quality even in low-brightness scenes and at higher resolutions. Intelligence: The two-way communication facilitated by HDMI allows automatic configuration between video sources, providing intelligence in adapting to different display settings seamlessly. No Compression: As HD signals are transmitted without compression, there is no degradation in signal quality, ensuring a pristine viewing experience. Connecting Your Chosen Display While HDMI is a robust interface, other high-performance display interfaces, such as MIPI-DSI, are gaining traction in emerging embedded use cases like automotive applications, AR/VR equipment, and wearable electronics. If your embedded board has a MIPI-DSI output, a conversion to RGB or LVDS may be necessary to connect your chosen display seamlessly. Benefits of HDMI Interface: The primary advantage of HDMI lies in its ability to transport a high bandwidth of data, including video, audio, 3D, and Ethernet, using a single cable. This streamlined connectivity simplifies the setup process, making it less daunting for users to connect their devices, whether it’s a TV and DVD player or an embedded industrial project. Click here for our full range of HDMI Displays Conclusion As embedded projects continue to evolve, the importance of choosing the right display interface cannot be overstated. HDMI displays, with their plug-and-play simplicity, deep colours, high quality, intelligence, and lack of compression, prove to be a reliable choice for industrial applications. CDS HDMI panels, designed with precision and expertise, offer the perfect solution to enhance the visual experience in your next embedded project.
