Latest solutions from Newhaven Display

As multipurpose products, they can be connected to a control system via a 20-pin flexible flat cable (FFC) or a 20-pin socket. In both cases, the user can construct devices that are capable of communication through a parallel or serial peripheral interface (SPI), compliant with e.g. Arduino modules, as well as almost all, even the least advanced, models of modern microcontrollers. The maximum image contrast ratio reaches up to 10000:1 and is programmable.

The capacitive touchscreen boasts an incredibly short response time and can detect up to five points of contact simultaneously. While designing the module, the manufacturer made sure to reduce the emissions and impact of electromagnetic interference (EMI). The products are mainly intended for industrial control panels, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart devices, etc.

3,5" TFT displays with an MIPI interface

Above all, the displays are made with the use of the IPS TFT technology, which allows for a shorter response time, higher contrast and a wider viewing angle while displaying more accurate colours. It is also important to mention the resolution of the displays, which is as high as 640 x 480 pixels. All of these features guarantee that the image is sharp and of exceptional quality.

The manufacturer has also made sure that the displays are convenient to use – the built-in controller makes it easier to control the display via a microcontroller and provides additional EMI shielding to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference.

The main difference between the old and the new products offered by the supplier involves the implementation of the MIPI DSI bus, which is a new and fast interface used for communication with microcontroller systems. The standard was designed with these exact display modules in mind. It uses four data lanes for fast transmission of data to the display, ensuring high refresh rate. Thanks to this, the users can enjoy smoother animations, deeper colours and improved comfort of use.

The display is available in two variants: standard or with a built-in capacitive touchscreen. The products are intended for demanding applications, medical and industrial equipment, and multimedia devices such as video game consoles (e.g. for retrogaming) based on SoC circuits or single-board computers.
