mikromedia 5 for STM32 CAPACITIVE U S E R M A N U A L
CAPACITIVE DISPLAY
3. Capacitive display
A high-quality 5” TFT true-color display with a capacitive touch
panel is the most distinctive feature of the mikromedia 5.
The display has a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, and it can
display up to 16.7M of colors (24-bit color depth). The display
of mikromedia 5 features a reasonably high contrast ratio
of 500:1, thanks to 18 high-brightness LEDs used for the
backlighting.
The display module is controlled by the SSD1963 (1) graphics
driver IC from Solomon Systech. This is a powerful graphics
coprocessor, equipped with 1215KB of frame buffer memory.
It also includes some advanced features such as the hardware
accelerated display rotation, display mirroring, hardware
windowing, dynamic backlight control, programmable color
and brightness control, and more.
The capacitive multi-touch panel, based on the FT5306 CTP
controller allows the development of interactive applications,
offering a touch-driven control interface. The touch panel
controller uses the I2C interface for the communication
with the host controller. This advanced multi-touch panel
controller supports gestures, including zoom and swipe in all
four directions.
Equipped with high-quality 5” display (2) and the multi-touch
controller that supports gestures, mikromedia 5 represents
a very powerful hardware environment for building various
GUI-centric Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications.
