LCD

EVE stands for Embedded Video Engine and refers to a graphic controller from Bridgetek/FTDI.   EVE graphic controllers are easy to use and can control the display, touch, backlight, and audio features of an embedded system, with each appearing to the host MCU as a memory-mapped SPI device. The host MCU sends commands and data

I2C or IIC stands for “Inter-Integrated Circuit,” and was originally intended as a way to communicate from one IC to another, usually on the same PCB. I2C is a bi-directional serial bus that was originally created by Philips (now NXP). Detailed Definition In a typical I2C application, there will be one master, and one or

SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface. SPI is a simple serial bus that is often used by LCD or OLED controllers. SPI as implemented for OLED and LCD controllers typically uses a “3-wire SPI” or “4-wire SPI” scheme. Detailed Definition SPI was originally championed by Motorola (now Freescale). In its original “pure” form SPI uses

LC stands for Liquid Crystal (sometimes also referred to as liquid crystal fluid or LC fluid, although technically redundant).  The defining thing about Liquid Crystals used in displays is that the polarization of the fluid can be changed by an electric field. This changing polarization can be used to make a dark or clear area

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. An LCD is composed of two pieces of glass with a thin layer of liquid crystals between the glass layers. When a voltage is applied to the glass, the orientation of the crystals can be changed. This change in the crystal’s orientation (called polarization) will make either a dark
