Display possibilities of 18F family + MIOS

Hi guys,

I’ve  found an old Sharp EL Display ( LJ640U21), with a matrix of 640 x 200.

A few questions came to me.

Which display resolution the pair PIC 18F and MIOS can support ?

What are, with these, the limits of display driving in terms of timing, characteristics, etc …

I 've received from Sharp Microelectronics the datasheet of this display with some specs and timing diagram and I would know what kind of informations I must have to drive this.

Regards.

Hmm,

I think Thorstens going to answer this one.

All I can do is to point you to see MBHP_LCD and MIOS download page at http://www.ucapps.de - there are custom LCD drivers at the download section - I hope these provide you some good material for starting your project :wink:

What are, with these, the limits of display driving in terms of timing, characteristics, etc …

only displays with vertical pixel orientation can be controlled in realtime, displays with horizontal pixel orientation consume so much time, that they normaly would have to be driven by a seperate microcontroller

Do you have programming skills to write a driver and to enhance an application so that it displays additional informations? If not, then don’t buy this

Best Regards, Thorsten.
