The LC-Display Interface
Connecting a Display by a JIPA- Cable
Many different display cables for a wide spread variety of displays are available through Kontron.
If you use one of those standard cables supplied by Kontron, configuration is very easy:
1. Check, whether you have the correct cable for the panel you plan to use. Inspect the cable for
damages.
2. Disconnect power from your System.
3. Connect the JIPA-cable for your display to the display connector (X5) on the PC/104
VGALCD-6. JIPA-cables are adjusted automatically.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to your display.
5. Supply power to your system.
Backlight converter
Most LCD displays need an extra AC or DC Voltage for their Backlight, which is generated by an
external converter. This converter usually generates between 60 and 1000 Volts AC and has to
be as close as possible to the Backlight to avoid capacitive losses on long cables. The JIPA-
Cable has a connector to switch Backlight on or off via software control and can be configured to
switch 5V or 12 V to the Backlight converter.
