Over the last few days the LCD controller support pages on the Digital View website have been updated with a posting of all relevant Application Notes for each of the controller models listed. This, however, is not the end of it as the Application Notes themselves as well as other files are all being reviewed and progressively updated as appropriate.
The controller support pages are at www.digitalview.com/support/lcd-controllers-support, if you have any comments of suggestions please let us know.
The Digital View View CSG (Controller Solution Generator) is designed to assist with matching controllers with LCD panels, however behind the system is a very significant LCD panel database. With well over 1,750 larger graphic type LCD panels listed it is probably the most comprehensive collection available.
Today more than 30 LCD panels were added to the database and it is expected that another 50 or more will be added in the coming days. The CSG itself is accesible at www.digitalview.com/csg and the panel data is currently available at www.panelx.com.

Digital View have migrated the PanelX LCD panel database to an iPhone version, this is available for free from iTunes though you can see details here. An updated version will be available soon providing a database update function followed by more advanced filtering.
In part this app was done for fun and as an exercise preceding a few other mobile applications but hopefully it is also useful. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Professional grade LCD Controllers support functions and provide features that display designers can use to build extremely sophisticated LCD products. With so many features available sometimes some of the powerful features slip under the radar and don’t get exploited to their full potential. In this post I want to put a few thoughts about the serial port forward, as this has to be one of the most flexible features available.

Time was, using digital displays in vending machines was a tricky business. Screens were heavy and expensive to employ. As technology moves on and standards improve it is becoming easier to integrate screens with anything. Vending machines are no exception. Why bother though? Read more…
Over the past few weeks I have increasingly written about LCD and display related issues in the new PanelX blog rather than here in the DV blog. The idea of the PanelX website, which is currently fully sponsored by Digital View, is to provide a number of resources for anyone using LCD panels to build display systems. It is early days and we will keep developing these however to begin with we have LCD panel database, this is derived from the extensive information in the DV Controller Solution Generator, the LCD panel manufacturers directory and the blog.
So this leaves this blog which will increasingly be used for more digital media related topics such as content creation as well as some applications discussion.
