NHD-4.3-480272EF-ATXL#-CTP how to interface this with LPC2368

[npn]

Hello,

     I'm looking for a display 4.3 inch. I have chosen NHD-4.3-480272EF-ATXL#-CTP but my doubt is how to interface this with LPC2368?? does it has inbulit controller?? I am new to TFT displays so how to Program it?

We sell controller boards that can be used with our displays.  For that 4.3" TFT, you can use the NHD-4.3-480272MF-20 Controller Board (link below):

The datasheet can be downloaded by accessing that link.  We also have example code available for it here:

I’m very new to LCD interfacing to a micro-controller. I am using the Newhaven Display Intl NHD-4.3-480272EF-ATXL#-CTP on LPC2478-32 Developer's Kit. I am train the code similar to http://www.newhavendisplay.com/NHD_forum/index.php?topic=134.0 based on the IAR sample code but with these settings:
#define C_GLCD_REFRESH_FREQ     (50HZ)
#define C_GLCD_H_SIZE           480
#define C_GLCD_H_FRONT_PORCH    2
#define C_GLCD_H_PULSE          41
#define C_GLCD_H_BACK_PORCH     2
#define C_GLCD_V_SIZE           272
#define C_GLCD_V_FRONT_PORCH    2
#define C_GLCD_V_PULSE          10
#define C_GLCD_V_BACK_PORCH     2
I have not got my screen back light to turn on, what connections am I doing wrong? (

Hello!

Based on the wiring diagram you provided, it would appear that you do not have the displays LED-Anode (LED+) or LED-Cathode (LED-) connected to anything.

LED+ will need to be supplied 40mA @ 19.2V

LED- will need to be connected to GND

Hope this helps!

I connected pin#1 to GND and pin#2 to  40mA @ 19.2V from a power supply, and I still do not see the Backlight turn on.
* Do I need to connect some type of resistor in series between pin#2 and the power supply?
* What are the minimum requirement(pins) for the Blacklight to turn on?  I do not have the 6 pins from the touch screen connected do they have to be connected?

Hello,

You have swapped the pins, in your wiring diagram LED+ is connected to GND and LED- is connected to 40mA @ 19.2V.

LED+ will need to be supplied 40mA @ 19.2V

LED- will need to be connected to GND

Hello,

No code / initialization sequence is required to turn on the displays backlight. Simply applying 40mA @ 19.2V to pin 2 and Gnd to pin 1 will turn on the backlight 

Please verify the operation of Pins 1 & 2 with a DMM.

Hope this helps!

Very nice, enjoy your new TFT!
