Our team has been working hard this year to bring new products to the market and to ensure our parts are continually available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Cost Graphic LCD<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n

This display was specially designed to have a matching form factor to our popular 128×64 graphic displays<\/a>. We wanted a display with increased capabilities but without the price tag of a typical high density graphic display. This display met that mark. It has 240×128 pixels, 4-color grayscale, and is available with a backlight<\/a> or as a purely reflective display<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also offer this display with a breakout board<\/a> and as a full graphic LCD development kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5″ MIPI TFT<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

This 5″ MIPI display is incredibly sleek looking. It’s thin, light, and the active area extends nearly to the display frame. Plus, thanks to the IPS<\/a> polarizer, this display is viewable at extreme angles, making it a great choice for products that might be seen from a wide range of view points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This display has no touchscreen, but keep your eyes peeled for a version with a capacitive<\/a> touchscreen coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we will be releasing a Raspberry Pi CM4 based module in the next year that showcases this beautiful display.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Updated Products in 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crystalfontz strives to avoid discontinuing products. However, sometimes we have no choice. When a component of one of our products causes a form, fit, or function change we want to make that information apparent and often will rev the part number to indicate the change. Most of these changes will not be hugely noticeable, a millimeter or so change in the active area, a different but nearly identical LCD<\/a> controller, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend signing up for part change notifications <\/a>for any parts that you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of our display updates (CFAG128128A1-TMI-TZ<\/a> and CFAG12864D1-YYH-TZ<\/a>) were due to a change in LCD controller, from the RA6369N to the RA6369N1<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We updated our 10.1″ capacitive touch HDMI display<\/a> to be compatible with newer Raspberry Pis (previous versions back powered the RPi on the 3.3v line)<\/a>. The resisitive and non-touch versions will also be updated soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 3″ EVE TFT modules <\/a>were updated to handle a change in the controller chip in the display as well as to provide more physical space for the touch tail. The 3.9″ capacitive touch and EVEs modules<\/a> were also updated due to a change in controller chip. We have modified our part numbering system for our EVE<\/a> modules to reduce the number of part number changes required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 3.5″ transflective<\/a> display had to be set to end of life due to the glass used becoming unobtainable. We have replaced it with a 3.5″ Blanview TFT module <\/a>that is as drop-in as possible. It has the same outline and pinout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
