MCU-AN-510120-E-10 – Page 4 Bluemoon-EVB_LCD V1.0.0 Chapter 2 LCD Introduction 2 LCD Introduction LCD working principles 2.1 LCD Driver Principle 2.1.1 LCD Principle Figure 2-1: COM and SEG signal layout Example in a LCD symbol Each symbol on LCD is controlled by no less than 1 common signal and 1 segment signals. The ON or OFF status of which symbol is determined by both common and segment outputs. 2.1.2 Terms Used For LCD controller LCD clock drives the LCD controller, Cycle of AC waveform which drives LCD. By its nature, LCD causes deterioration to its LCD elements if DC driver because the LCD elements are affected by chemical changes. To avoid this situation, the LCD controller incorporates AC waveform generator to generate AC waveform consisting of 2 frames: an odd frame and an even frame(inverted odd frame), allowing driving the LCD. Figure 2-2: Terms Used For LCD controller MCU-AN-510120-E-10 – Page 5 Bluemoon-EVB_LCD V1.0.0 Chapter 2 LCD Introduction 2.2 Configuration of LCD Controller The LCD controller consists of the following blocks, which are divided functionally into a controller section that generates the segment and common signals based on the content of display RAM and a driver section that drives the LCD. Figure 2-3: LCD Controller Block Diagram MCU-AN-510120-E-10 – Page 6 Bluemoon-EVB_LCD V1.0.0 Chapter 3 Hardware Introduction 3 Hardware Introduction LCD hardware connection introduction 3.1 LCD Controller Overview The LCD drive voltage is generated by divider resistors, includes internal or external divider resistors, as Figure 3-1 shows Internal resistor External resistor Figure 3-1: Divider Resistor Connection The internal divider resistor consists of 10K and 100K resistors. The value of these divider resistors we should base on the detail LCD parameters. VR is an external variable resistor, connect it to adjust the voltage at pin VV4. 3.2 Bluemoon EV Board Hardware The VR and divider resistors effect to adjust LCD brightness base on VCC. Bluemoon EV board used 3.3V or 5V power supply, so uses internal divider resistors to generate LCD drive voltage, as Figure 3-2 shows: When power supply is 5V, we used internal 10K resistors. When power supply is 3.3V, we used internal 100K resistors. We can get the power supply voltage via MCU LVD function.

So before initialization LCD controller, user should check array ComMap[] and SegMap[][] to insure its accuracy. Driver Resistors The LCD controller has an LCD drive voltage divider resistor whose resistor value can be selected from 10kΩ or 100kΩ through software. An external divider resistor can also be used instead. LVD Function The bluemoon EV Board allows 3.3V or 5V voltage power supply and the LCD controller auto- adapt power, so should used LVD function.
