Epson introduces its new Simple LCDC display controller series

EPSON ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. (EEA), the world leader in quartz crystal technology, has begun shipping samples of the Simple LCDC series LCD controllers. Simple LCDC series offers basic function of LCD controller with low cost and low power single chip solution. These display controllers are applicable to TFT LCD panel from QVGA up to WVGA resolution and suitable for applications such as factory automation equipment, medical instrument, measurement equipment and office equipment such as printers and multifunction units. Following three simple LCDCs are introduced. S1D13L01： 384K Byte Embedded SRAM. CPU interface supports direct /indirect 8/16bit bus and SPI. The embedded display buffer allows WQVGA up to 480x272 at 24bpp or 800x480 at 8bpp for single layer display, or 480x272 at 16bpp (Main Layer) and 480x272 at 8bpp (PIP Layer) for two layer display. Supported display features are 2 layer overlay, transparency, alpha blending, gamma correction with LUT and window rotation. S1D13L02： 1024K Byte embedded SRAM. CPU interface supports indirect 16bit bus. The embedded display buffer allows WVGA up to 800x480 at 16bpp for single layer display. Supported display feature is pixel doubling which allows easy migration to larger panel sizes using existing image data such as QVGA to VGA. Also, it supports up to 3 display layers overlay, independent resizing of PIP window image data using the bi-cubic scaler (from x1/8 up to x8), transparency, alpha blending, gammma correction by LUT and window rotation. S1D13L03： 768K Byte embedded SRAM. CPU interface supports indirect 8/16bit bus. The embedded display buffer allows WVGA up to 800x480 at16bpp for single layer display. Supported display feature is gamma correction by LUT. Going forward, Epson intends to leverage its unique set of compact, energy-saving, and high-precision technologies to help enrich society by providing products and services that solve real issues for customers.
