TFT Display development tools
EA 9782-1USB TFT Demo board and simulator software
MMS Electronics Ltd provides developers with a demo board to evaluation the small IPS displays from the DISPLAY VISION's product line. The EA 9782-1USB allows for quick and easy testing and adaptation of small TFT panels with size 0.9", 1.5", 2.0", 2.8" and 3.5" including those with PCAP touch function (-AITC).
No specific knowledge of the hardware or software is required. Simply connect the USB cable to the EA 9782-USB evaluation board and the connected IPS display becomes active. Additionally when the EA 9782-1USB evaluation board is connected to a Windows PC and the STARTTFT.exe program is executed (which can be downloaded for free), it opens up more options to display your own images, write text, change orientation and control the brightness. The evaluation board is available on it's own or can be ordered as a bundle including the IPS colour displays.

EA 9980-TFT Interface board for TFT displays
EA 9980-TFT interface board is designed to provide an easy and fast way to connect TFT displays fitted with a 50 or 39 pin FPC ribbon cable. The EA 9980-TFT has both a 1.0mm pitch 50 pin ZIF connector and 0.3 mm pitch 39 pin ZIF connector fitted. The ZIF connector contacts are brought out to a 2.54 mm pitch to allow easy connection to breadboards or boards from the Arduino or Rapberry PI world. The EA 9980-TFT board also includes TPS61165, a high brightness White LED driver with brightness control. The LED current is set by 6 solder bridges connected to the onboard resistor. The TPS61165 allows to dimm the LED brightness by PWM control.
Additionally the EA 9980-TFT interface PCB has a 6 pin and 10 pin ZIF connector fitted to connect a touch panel.
- Connecting TFT displays to microcontrollers or single-board computers.
- Developing embedded systems with TFT displays.
- Avoid complex soldering of the display connector.
If you are looking for an easy and versatile way to connect TFT displays, the EA 9980-TFT interface board is a great option. It is compatible with a wide range of displays and avoids complex soldering, ideal to start a variety of applications.
