Introduction
About ELI (the Easy LCD Interface)
ELI
®
is Future Designs, Inc.’s family of long-life, plug-and-play embedded displays. ELI products
are true modular embedded display solutions that require no engineering or lead-time. All ELI
products are compatible with a wide range of single board computers including Raspberry Pi,
Beagle Bone Black and Windows-based units. FDI designed ELI as an embedded display option
that requires minimal development time to help customers reach production quickly. Once a
product is in production, FDI’s minimum 10-year ELI product availability guarantee helps ensure
production schedules without the risk of expensive or time-consuming redesigns. Learn more about
