A new evaluation kit from Anders Electronics aims to significantly reduce the time to market of applications using Toppoly's 2.8 and 3.5in QVGA low temperature polysilicon TFT displays Using the QVGA TFT kit from Anders Electronics, engineers will typically get the display working with their controller board within approximately one day, eliminating the need to design their own interface board

Anders Electronics will be announcing an extension to its UMR (User Machine Relationship) range of intelligent colour display platforms at Electronica.
Display module has extended temperature range
A 7in WVGA TFT display module from Anders Electronics combines excellent visual characteristics with an extended operating temperature range of -30C to +85dC.
It combines a 2.8 or 3.5in LTPS display and integrated touch screen option with an interface board and all of the cables and documentation needed to drive the display from a microcontroller or TFT controller board.
Target applications include data collection devices, industrial handhelds, portable GPS systems, mobile gaming, and other portable battery powered devices.
The kit comprises a 2.8 or 3.5in Toppoly QVGA display with optional integrated resistive touchscreen and an Anders AED523 interface board.

Colour STNs make for easy upgrades
New modules will be of particular interest to designers familiar with STN interface technology looking to migrate to colour without the associated expense of redesign to TFT.
Full documentation including application notes is also enclosed helping designers to easily connect their SBC or controller to the industry standard 40-way PCB header connector.
All necessary voltage levels for the display and LED backlight are derived onboard from power drawn through the connector, so setting up and evaluation of images displayed on the screen can start immediately.
The board has a separate connector with orientation link options for the touchscreen.
Anders Electronics also offers a complete Windows CE 5.0 hardware development platform comprising the above hardware together with an Intel XScale PXA255 system-on-module (SoM), Anders-designed baseboard, cables, Windows CE 5.0 and software development kit.
With the addition of a keyboard, mouse and power supply this provides a ready to use development platform complete with a working display and touchscreen.
Customers can also outsource all aspects of their XScale and TFT development and integration effort to Anders' recently launched custom development service, freeing their own design staff to focus on the application specific product features that will bring them their market advantage.
Toppoly Optoelectronics' transflective LCDs use advanced LTPS (low temperature polysilicon) technology to deliver better contrast ratios and higher brightness and pixel density than conventional amorphous silicon TFT displays.
In addition, the use of LTPS technology and other techniques such as chip on glass (COG) and system on panel (SOP) for very high levels of integration minimises external component and contact count, simplifies application design, and improves reliability.
Each unit provides a palette of 256K colours, high colour saturation and wide viewing angles for both portrait and landscape viewing modes. Request a free brochure from Anders Electronics ...
