Story
📘 Building High-Brightness TFT Display Interfaces for Embedded Applications
This project demonstrates how to integrate a 7” high-brightness TFT LCD with an embedded Linux/Android board based on Allwinner A64 SoC. The result is a compact and responsive display platform, ideal for industrial terminals, kiosks, or control panels.
📝 Project Overview
Embedded developers often face challenges when working with LCD display interfaces—especially when brightness, resolution, and touch responsiveness are critical. This project showcases a fully functional 7” LVDS TFT display integrated with an embedded single board computer (SBC) powered by a quad-core A64 SoC.
The display offers a native 1024x600 resolution and capacitive touch via USB, paired with an SBC that supports Android 11, Buildroot, and Debian-based Linux systems. With LVDS output, USB interfaces, and reliable GPIO, the platform enables rapid development of display-intensive embedded systems.
🖥️ The panel used here is part of a professional-grade TFT LCD series designed for embedded use, with brightness levels up to 1000 cd/m² — suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
