Glass-like finish for EL touchscreens
Printed segmented electroluminescent displays support a novel glass-like finish.
The controller module controls 32 segments and allows the brightness of each segment to be individually controlled.
The number of segments can be increased by attaching additional 16 segment blocks.
A serial protocol within the controller module allows an application microcontroller to change the display image, start and stop animations and configure display parameters with ease.
With a 64 button keyboard interface, capacitance and ambient light sensors, an entire interface display can be controlled with one simple to integrate package.
Integrating all Pelikon's drive and control technology in a standard component, the controller module, which measures just 64 x 35 x 10mm, is a standard platform, low risk component suitable for large and small appliances as well as industrial, medical and consumer products.
