05/21/2002 - Late breaking news...

My ISP finally shut down my web based FTP access completely. (It's always had problems...) So I have transferred my files here:

http://www.infinetivity.com/~jsampson/lcd_data/

I will try to clean up the dead links in the near future. And I have some new stuff to add.

I guess it is time to do that "every 4 year maintenance" thing. :-)

Here are a few new things:

Graphic LCD Controller/Module Info

Changes on 9/13/98

Changes on 1/12/98

The FTP intermittently refuses to work, please try later if it fails.

You can access this directly as: ftp://citilink.com/users/jsampson

Warning:

Example: From the Optrex DMF5005 data sheet.

Supply Voltage (LCD Drive) Vcc-Vee is Min=8V Max=26V
This means (5V - (-Vee)) = 26V, Therefore Vee= -3V to -21V
Most the manufactures seem to use some variation of this notation. Don't let the unclear documentation destroy your display!

Yes, I should have example schematics and real applications. I am adding these as I get time.

ocg1.asm A quick project I did which uses a 8751 CPU, Hitachi LM213B display and an ADC0804 A/D converter. This displayed a persons heart beat on an LCD display.

Toshiba T6963 My 42 page data sheet (This is just a FAX. So use Toshiba PDF link below instead, if it is working)

Hithachi has added online data files for their controllers and drivers. Follow "LCD Drivers/Controllers" under the "Product List" selection box. (this requires JAVA)

Toshiba has finally added PDF data files. I found this reference on Steve Lawther's page.(See below) They are currently located here They keep moving these around. So if they aren't there, start at the Toshiba home page.

English T6963 Steve Lawther has rewritten the T6963 data sheet so it makes sense. Here is a testimonial I received: "I downloaded this yesterday, and agree, it's a great re-work of the 'much broken english' translated spec sheet."

Also, there is some C code for the T6963 at: T6963 Source Code By John Beale. Here is a testimonial I received: "I looked through this, and not only is this guy a genious C programmer, it gave me what I wanted in a language I could understand... "

Source for Epson/SMOS 1330 controllers

DigiKey is selling the Epson E-1330 controller again. Search for "E-1330BA-ND" on their page. It is about $12.
They also have a design guide for the chip.

Sample code

SED1330 code for 68HC05C8
SED1330.ASM is init code for an OPTREX DMF-50081 display (320x240).
BIGNUM.ASM is a large font character generator for the project.

T6963 code for 8051 toshiba1.asm
Init and test code I used to test a Toshiba TLC-1091 display
This is the test code from the data sheet converted to 8051 and I added a few extras
