An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a common type of electronic display that generates visual data by using the characteristics of liquid crystals. A microcontroller is frequently used to operate an LCD display. A microcontroller is a tiny, self-contained computer system that consists of an input/output peripheral, a CPU, and memory all on a single chip.
In order to show text, numbers, symbols, and images, the microcontroller, which serves as the system’s brain, connects with the LCD display. It controls the essential processes to direct the LCD’s individual pixels in order to produce the appropriate visual result.
Typically, for an LCD display to function properly, certain control signals are needed. These signals comprise control lines and data lines for conveying the displayed content.
The microcontroller creates the necessary control signals and data patterns to communicate with the LCD display. The display’s actions, such as cleaning the screen, moving the pointer, and dynamically changing the content, are controlled by programming logic and instructions.
To make the interface simpler and improve performance, microcontrollers made for LCD display applications frequently include specialised peripherals such dedicated display drivers or graphic controllers. These peripherals might come with capabilities like built-in memory buffers, which save the information on the display and allow for fluid updates without the need for continual communication between the microcontroller and the display.
The Global LCD Display Microcontroller Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of the V2 Microprocessor from NXP Technologies featuring Touchscreen, LCD Controller, and USB. The majority of display apps use a few standard animations, such as blinking, sporadically switching between screens, and pixel-blanking.
The majority of these animation algorithms may be offloaded from the CPU by using the inbuilt LCD driver with autonomous animation found on our PIC24F GU/GL series of eXtreme Low Power (XLP) MCUs. By doing so, you may activate animation in power-saving settings when the CPU is in standby, idle, or sleep mode.
