LCD SOS!

Hi,



Did anyone hear about the pinout of the FSTN LCD?



What about the software used?



Thanks in advance, Steve



THE FSTN??? I'd be willing to bet that there's more than one... mike

Agreed. It would help a lot if we knew the model and brand of the LCD in question. And that is assuming the controller board is present. Without the controller board, the glass board itself is basically useless.

The two major types of LCD panels are STN and TFT. They have different pinouts (and different numbers of pins)

For a typical STN display, see

For a typical TFT, see

The number of pins and pinout of each type is pretty well standard, and microcontroller mfrs are putting LCD controllers onboard nowadays (see the Intel PXA 255/270 series for example).

I use both (in different products).

The biggest variation is the controller with the display (usually part of the unit), although the I/O (as noted) is pretty much the same. Some things do vary (such as frame polarity), but the basic conenctions are usually the same within each family. Keep in mind I am expecting the controller board to be attached to the LCD.
