PHILIPS PCA8538

NXP display demo
with COG LCD driver
PCA8538 & capacitive
sensor PCA8885
Touch-sensitive segmented 9 x 102
display
Developed through a partnership with Unicorn, this advanced display showcases the ChipOn-Glass (COG) LCD driver PCA8538 and the capacitive sensor PCA8885. It can be used
to drive a segmented Vertical Alignment (VA) display with integrated touch buttons, and
supports a wide range of automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

ITO touch layer
Glass
ITO layer
(electrode)
Touch-sensitive display for climate control with fan,
air-conditioning, clock, and ventilation controls. Each
touch-sensitive icon is implemented as an outline icon
and a solid icon. Outline icons indicate where to touch;
solid icons display after the outline icon is touched.
Sample displays
Liquid crystal
Compared to the normal structure,
where the ITO touch glass is
implemented outside the LCD
structure, the on-cell technology
offers the following advantages:
-S
impler structure: two glass layers
instead of three
- Thinner thickness
- Easier assembly
- Lower cost
