Overview:
Stating that the ability to tier a high-performance monochrome and color display offers the best opportunity for end product differentiation, this application note assists system designers with the considerations associated with tiering an EL640.480-AMI with an NL6448AC33-18, both 640 x 480 displays with a dot pitch of 0.33mm. It presents techniques that help to minimize mounting, cabling, and interfacing differences, and illustrates the differences in mechanical design of both displays, detailing the spacing considerations such as mounting bracket, inverter position, and viewing angle. Electrical design considerations are also described, and a list of pin outs for both displays is included in the form of a table. The paper also lists the power limitations along with key environmental specifications, and covers the optical design considerations.
