1.3.1 FPL (E ink Imaging film):
Made by E-ink which is embedded in PDI’s EPD panels. The EXT2 board supports driving the
following films:
-
Aurora Ma : also call V230 . The display color is black and white. It supports
operating at wide temperature from -20 ° C to +50 ° C. It has to load special driving
waveform to get the display works. This film type display is suggested for lower
temperature operation is the major criteria only.
-
Aurora Mb : also call V231 . The display color is black and white. Most of the cases,
The Aurora Mb film type display provides the best performance, faster update
speed and lower power consumption. It supports operating at room temperature
from 0
° C to +50 ° C.
-
Spectra : also call E4 . The display color is red, black and white, three colors. It
supports operating at room temperature from +0 ° C to +40 ° C
-
Spectra Yellow : The display color is yellow, black and white, three colors. It
supports operating at room temperature from +10 ° C to +40 ° C
-
Aurora -25 : also call V430 . The display color is black and white. It supports
operating at a freezer temperature from -25 ° C to +10 ° C. This film type display is
suggested for lower temperature operation is the major criteria only.
1.3.2 COG (Chip on Glass):
also call Tcon (TC, Timing controller) or Driver IC which is mounted on TFT glass of EPD display.
-
eTC : external Tcon, the driving waveform and flow are controlled by the host MCU
(microcontroller). Developer needs to manage most of the driving stages, frame
time and data flow by the MCU of host control board.
The eTC includes PDI’s G1, G1b and
G2 COG (where G1/G1b are EOL (end of life)).
The pin number of FPC (flexible printed circuit) of eTC is 40 pins.
