CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued.
Description:
CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued.
Reason:
CFAX12864A, CFAX12864AP1, CFAX12864C, and CFAX12864CP1 Series of LCD modules discontinued due to end of life of Samsung KS0713 controller chip.
Impact:
//SHL (C8 C0) (Flips display top to bottom, assuming landscape orientation)
This will need to be changed to 0xC8 from 0xC0 for the new Novatek NT7534 controller versus the Samsung KS0713.
There is no migration path for users of the CFAX12864A and CFAX12864C modules other than to re-lay out their board to use the CFAX12864T or CFAX12864U, which is not pin compatible.
Recommendation:
Users of CFAX12864AP1 and CFAX12864CP1 LCD modules can use the compatible CFAX12864T1 and CFAX12864U1 replacement modules respectively.

For reference only. For design purposes, please use the specifications in the datasheet.
The tail can be folded 180 degrees behind the display to reduce the footprint.
Here is an image of the front of the display in lit from the front -- reflective mode.
The demonstration board can be found here.
The pixels are small enough that a rudimentary "gray scale" may be achieved through dithering.
The demonstration board can be found here.
Here is a close-up of the front of the ZIF tail against standard 0.2" graph paper. The pitch of the conductors is 0.5mm.
Here is a close-up of the back of the ZIF tail showing the stiffner. The tail is designed to mate with standard 18-conductor 0.5mm pitch ZIF connnectors (typical would be Omron XF2L-1835-1 / DigiKey P/N OR687CT).
This is an animation of the ZIF connector operation.
Quick Product Info
This part is not recommended for new designs.
The Samsung KS0713 controller was discontinued in September of 2009, while small quantities are still available, we recommend using our CFAX12864U1 series of LCD modules which have a compatible Novatek NT7534 controller on board.
