Hero Electronics now offers the novel Amulet-On-Board display modules from Amulet Technologies, the inventor of the graphical operating system in silicon Amulet introduced the Amulet-On-Board (AOB) concept for its 5.7in QVGA display module, a fully integrated display and silicon solution that mounts the HTML-based IC controller directly to the back of the display to provide a graphical OS driven LCD system

Module assures critical DC supplies
Preconditioning power module protects against low-voltage and transient input conditions, supplying a reliable input of up to 120W for DC/DC convertors.
Integrated devices shrink ZigBee applications
The MG245x product family claims world-class performance, with the highest Tx power, highest Rx sensitivity, high datarates and low power consumption compared with existing ZigBee chip offerings.
The result is a smaller, lighter and more compact display module.
AOB modules are available in three display types: STN blue negative (transmissive), FSTN negative (transmissive) and FSTN positive (transflective).
The modules include an integrated touch panel, white LED backlight and a 4Mbit serial Flash chip for storing uHTML pages.
Amulet-On-Board features the graphical OS chip, which includes a graphics library, dedicated microprocessor, UART and LCD controller.
The concept of HTML coding is easy to understand, the display is able to use dynamic images, store parameters and even generate random numbers making the interaction with a remote serial based machine quite simple.
The result is a very powerful interactive graphics environment to add to any serial based system.
This tight integration of display and graphics chip will dramatically simplify product development time compared with designing from scratch with separate components.
By using commercial HTML authoring tools such as Dreamweaver and Front Page the design can be quickly developed into an appealing user interface module.
