5.3 Memory LCD-TFT Display
A 1.28-inch SHARP Memory LCD-TFT has been added to the board to enable interactive applications to be developed. The display has
a high resolution of 128 by 128 pixels and consumes very little power. It is a reflective monochrome display, so each pixel can only be
light or dark, and no backlight is needed in normal daylight conditions.
The display interface consists of an SPI-compatible serial interface and some extra control signals. Data are sent to the display one line
(128 bits) at a time.
The Memory LCD-TFT display is shared with the kit Board Controller, allowing the Board Controller application to display useful infor-
mation when the user application is not using the display. The EFM8 MCU always controls ownership of the display using the
EFM_DISP_ENABLE signal:
• 0: The Board Controller has control of the display.
• 1: The user application (EFM8) has control of the display.
Data are clocked in on EFM_DISP_MOSI (P1.0) when EFM_DISP_CS (P0.1) is high, and the clock is sent on EFM_DISP_SCLK
(P0.6). The maximum supported clock speed is 1 MHz.
Please refer to the display application information for details on driving the display:
