andersDX SPI TFTs aim at handheld systems

Display specialist, andersDX, has added small TFT displays with an easy to integrate SPI interface and a power consumption of just 3mA.

The new displays are intended for a host of applications from handheld devices such as remote controls or test equipment for industrial, medical and consumer electronics.

andersDX will be initially offering 1.44” and 1.77” colour TFT modules featuring the SPI interface. The simple Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) can simplify a design, as the receiving hardware can be a simple shift register rather than a full UART. SPI is used to send data between microcontrollers and small peripherals such as shift registers, sensors or SD cards. It utilises separate clock and data lines, along with a select line for choice of device to communicate with.

A key feature of the 1.77” SPI displays is their very low profile, a streamlined package just 2.4mm deep, making it suitable for compact portable electronics. The1.77" diagonal module is a full colour TFT display with a high contrast ratio of 700, a high brightness of280cd/m2 and a low power consumption of just 3mA.There is also a 1.44” diagonal square display featuring the SPI interface. This module offers a contrast ratio of 350 and a brightness of 120 cd/m2. Its package is 2.7mm thick. Both modules are suitable for use at temperatures between 20° to +70°C.
