This tutorial explains how liquid crystal displays work, covering interface types, optical configurations, and static versus dynamic drive methods.

Part 1 in a series of videos on designing a custom LCD display. This tutorial covers how LCD displays work, the 3 different types of interface (DIP, Elastomeric, Flex), the three different optical types (Reflective, Transflective, and Transmissive), and the two different types of drive (Static vs Dynamic) Microchip AN658 ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00000658B.pdf Forum: eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1044-lcd-technology-tutorial/ EEVblog Main Web Site: eevblog.com The 2nd EEVblog Channel: youtube.com/EEVblog2 Support the EEVblog through Patreon! patreon.com/eevblog Donate With Bitcoin & Other Crypto Currencies! eevblog.com/crypto-currency/ EEVblog Amazon Store (Dave gets a cut): astore.amazon.com/eevblogstore-20 T-Shirts: teespring.com/stores/eevblog 💗 Likecoin – Coins for Likes: likecoin.pro/@eevblog/dil9/hcq3
