PC8106-2 Display Controller Card The PC8106 display controller supports a wide variety of Flat Panel Displays ranging from 320x200 up to 640x480. Simple installation requires one 16 bit ISA bus slot. Basic Features: y Monochrome Panels:Colors are converted to 64 gray shades. Color Panels: Displays 4096 colors. y Hardware VGA compatible. y Vertical centering. y 512K display memory. y All display voltages generated onboard. y Single or dual panel interface. y Small size: 6.3" x 3.5" y Low power: 180ma from 5 volt supply Ordering Information Currently Apollo Display offers two versions of the PC8106 display controller, PC8106N-2 and PC8106P-2. The difference between the two display cards is that the PC8106N develops a negative voltage for LCD drive whereas the PC8106P-2 develops a positive voltage for LCD drive. The majority of the OPTREX displays requires a negative LCD voltage.

Configure the PC8106-2 for the display by setting the jumpers on J5 using the configuration chart below. Construct the cable to interface the LCD Module to the PC8106-2, the cable should not exceed 24 inches. Turn off your computer and remove the cover. Locate one empty 16 bit slot, remove the protective rear plate. Insert the card pressing straight down with even pressure being sure the card is fully seated. Secure the PC8106-2 using the screw you removed when taking out the protective rear plate. Also at this time be sure that there is no other display card installed. PC8106-2 Configuration To configure the PC8106 for the type of panel you are using, install the appropriate jumpers.

The PC8106-2 is available in two configurations, PC8106N and PC8106P. The differences are the PC8106N-2 generates a negative (-14 to -24)voltage, 0 to +3 volts for LCD bias. The PC8106P-2 generates a positive(24 to 35 volts) voltage for LCD bias. The 0 to +3 volts on the PC8106N-2 is for Kyocera displays only. These voltages are factory set to a specific LCD module when the module is specified with the order. However, when this is not specified users must check their modules required bias voltage prior to use since these values do vary from model to model. The bias voltage is switched on only when all set and the clock to the LCD is running. This display from damage which could occur if this applied before the controller was initialized the registers are protects the voltage were and running. The negative bias voltage range is -14 to -24 volts controlled by R28 and the positive bias voltage range is +24 to +34 volts controlled by R23. This potentiometer is adjusted for proper contrast on the display. If needed this potentiometer may be remoted off the board. To do this remove R23 or R28 depending on which version you have and connect the external potentiometer to connector J6 as follows: PC8106P-2, 10K J6.1, CW J6.3, Wiper J6.5, CCW PC8106N-2, 100K(R28) 5K(R23) J6.2, CW J6.4, Wiper J6.6, CCW Pin 1 of J6 is identified with a square pad. 3 Display Interface ... Connection to the display is made through a 34 position connector J1 located in the center right side of the board. A contrast potentiometer comes installed from the factory. This potentiometer may be located externally if desired. J1Pin# 1. UD0 3. UD2 5. UD4 7. UD6 9. LD0 11. LD2 13. LD4 15. LD6 17. WF (M) 19. XSCL (CP) 21. Polarizer 23. XSCL2 25. +5 27. Disp off 29.

We suggest using a spare disk drive power connector or other source. For displays requiring a positive contrast voltage, J1 pins 29 and 31 must be shorted together. For displays requiring a negative contrast voltage, J1 pins 31 and 33 must be shorted together. These jumpers help protect the display from the wrong voltage being applied if you were trying to use the wrong version display card. 4 Certain Kyocera displays require a +3 volt vee voltage. These displays will use the PC8106N-2 Rev E or higher. DO NOT use PC8106P or any earlier version of the PC8106N board. Contrast on these displays are adjusted with R23, 5K potentiometer. Windows 3.1 Driver Installation ... The Windows 3.1 driver is for CDS PC8106, VGA104 256 color driver board only. To check if you have a 256 color version the part number on the LCD controller should read: “SPC8106FOC”. To install driver: 1. Locate your original Windows 3.1 disks, you will need them to load the required fonts. 2. Go to your Windows subdirectory: “CD WINDOWS”. 3. Run Windows setup program: “SETUP”. 4. Select “Display” and press enter. 5. Scroll down to the end of the list and select: “Other (Requires disk provided by hardware manufacturer)”. 6. Insert the driver disk and press enter. 7. Follow instructions to finish installation. 8. After the driver has loaded select “Accept configuration shown above” and press enter. 9. Follow the instructions, it will ask you to insert several of your original Windows 3.1 disks and close. NOTES: A. For color displays you must install this driver for the 256 color mode. If the 16 color mode is acceptable for your application you do not have to install this driver, select the Windows 3.1 standard VGA or VGA 3.0 driver. B. For monochrome displays there is no need to load the 256 color driver. Select Windows 3.1 standard VGA or VGA 3.0 driver. C. For Windows 95 applications please consult the sales office. 5 Display Interface Guide W444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444U Monochrome Displays OPTREX DMF50081 OPTREX DMF50174 320x240 Fitting controller: PC8106N-2 Cable: CBL-50174/081 Backlight Inverter: CXAL10L DMF50081 DMF50174 J1- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | | | | | | | | | 20 18 19 17 32 25 26 30 1 10 | 2 11 | 3 12 | 4 13 | 25 14 NC Jumper J1 pins 31 and 33 Note: On the DMF50174 pin 1 is located towards the center of the display board.
