Smart TFT display module supports custom user interfaces

Review Display Systems has announced a fully integrated 4.1" TFT display module. The DWIN DMG72720T041-06WTC provides an IPS TFT display with a built-in dual-core microcontroller-based ASIC, a touch controller and a fully integrated InCell capacitive touch panel.

The new 4.1" smart module implements a UART-based serial communications display interface that allows a simple yet cost-effective method of system integration and supports the development of custom user applications without any further embedded electronics to drive the display.

The display module features a square 4.1" IPS TFT LCD with a 720 x 720 pixels resolution, which allows wide viewing angles of 85° in all directions (left/right, up/down) and supports 8-bit RGB data providing a colour palette of up to 16.7million colours. A white LED backlight supplies a specified brightness rating of 400cd/m².

DWIN supplies and supports a free PC-hosted software development tool, DGUS (DWIN Graphic Utilised Software), that allows custom GUI to be created and developed. A predefined application development environment supports various graphic functions and library elements. Also, user-defined images, icons, corporate branding, and logos may be easily uploaded to the development environment.

Justin Coleman, display business manager, RDS, said, "The smart DWIN 4.1-inch TFT display module has been developed to enable users to design and create their own custom, graphical user interfaces quickly and easily. The readily available, easy-to-use PC-based development tool allows graphic designs and user interfaces to be quickly created, tested, and refined."

The development and implementation of graphical user interfaces are assisted by the InCell PCap touchscreen, which is fully integrated within the LCD cell. The 4.1-inch display module offers outline mechanical dimensions of 82.8mm (w) x 79.1mm (h) x 6mm (d) and an active display area of 73.98mm (w) x 73.98mm (h). An operating temperature range of -20C to +70C is supported.
