There are many different interfaces for LCD (liquid crystal display), each with its own unique features and application scenarios. Here are the differences between some common LCD display interfaces:
Features: The RGB interface, also known as the parallel RGB interface, transmits data in parallel through RGB data lines (red, green, and blue). It is widely used in TFT-LCDs of 5 inches and above. The data is not written directly to DDRAM, but directly to the screen, with a faster read and write speed.
Pros and cons: There are many interface lines, and the data transmission rate is high, but the transmission distance is short, and the anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) capability is relatively poor. The RGB interface is usually used in conjunction with the SPI interface for LCDs with slightly larger dot matrixes.
Features: LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) is a low-voltage differential signaling technology interface with the characteristics of high speed, low voltage, low power consumption, and low EMI. It uses very low voltage swings to transmit data on differential pairs, which is suitable for high-speed data transmission.
Application: The LVDS interface is widely used in LCDs and is one of the main interfaces for internal image transmission. It can convert TTL signals into LVDS signals and transmit the signals to the LCD panel side through a flexible cable.
Features: MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) is an interface standard designed for mobile devices, including DCS (Display Command Set), DBI (Display Bus Interface), DPI (Display Pixel Interface) and DSI (Display Serial Interface). MIPI interface has the characteristics of high speed, low power consumption and strong anti-interference ability.
Application: MIPI interface is widely used in mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets, supporting high-speed data transmission and high-quality image display.
Features: MCU interface, also known as I80 or I8080 interface, is named because it is widely used in the field of single-chip microcomputers. It communicates with the address register or display RAM through read, write and chip select signals. The control is simple but limited by the internal GRAM, it is difficult to achieve a large screen and the display rate is slow.
Application: MCU interface is suitable for small LCD display screens, such as some simple display modules.
Features: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a high-speed, full-duplex, synchronous communication interface widely used for communication between MCU and LCD. The SPI interface has the characteristics of few pins and fast communication rate, but it is limited by the transmission rate. If a large amount of data is transmitted directly through SPI, it may affect the display effect.
Application: SPI interface is often used in small-size LCD displays or occasions where the number of pins needs to be saved.
HDMI, DP, etc.: These interfaces are mainly used for the transmission of high-definition video and audio, and are common in devices such as TVs and computer monitors. They have the characteristics of high bandwidth, high resolution and high refresh rate, and can provide a high-quality audio-visual experience.
In summary, different LCD display interfaces differ in transmission rate, power consumption, anti-interference ability, application range, etc. When choosing an LCD display interface, you need to choose a suitable interface according to the specific application scenario and needs.
