Need a ‘Springboard’ into displays?
Working closely with our sister company Anglia Designs, we have designed and produced a highly flexible suite of low cost hardware and software reference platforms, which we call ‘Springboards’.
Designed for driving and interfacing to Hitachi’s TFT displays, these can be used to rapidly reduce your ‘concept-to-production’ cycle in many ways :
- To demonstrate your ideas at the concept/product definition stage
- To directly compare and evaluate the optical characteristics of Hitachi’s displays against others
- Shrink hardware development time drastically by using our Springboard as a proven hardware platform upon which to develop your software
- Shrink software development time drastically by using our proven software libraries
- Avoid costly PCB layout and re-spin issues by basing your hardware around our reference circuitry
Which display will work best for you?
Unsure on what display will work for you? Then book an LCD demonstration with one of our qualified engineers. This gives you the option to see the displays working to help you make the right decision and discuss further support through to the final stages of production.
Springboards help you jump into TFT technology with confidence

We have ‘Springboard’ solutions available to drive all popular sizes and resolutions of Hitachi TFT screens. These are based around three different,
widely-adopted MCU cores, giving you a choice between Microchip’s PIC24F or PIC32 families, or STMicroelectronics STM32 ARM ®
CORTEX™ - M3 families. Our springboards have been developed to accelerate your design process; they are also an ideal ‘Technology Prover’ for
those new to TFT based designs.
What are ‘Springboards’
The ‘Springboard’ range is exclusive to Anglia and is an out of the box solution for driving the Hitachi range of graphical TFT and STN panels. Springboards are a complete package including the evaluation board for your chosen processor, the appropriate graphics interface module, a display adaptor and your choice of target display. Anglia Displays can provide modules to interface each of Hitachi’s four major different industrial TFT display families to both the STM32 and the PIC evaluation boards.
Select an Evaluation Platform
The STMicroelectronics STM3210E-EVAL platform supports the ARM Cortex-M3 based STM32F103Z microcontroller or the Microchip Explorer 16, a low cost, efficient development board for 32-bit PIC32MX and the 16-bit PIC24F, PIC24H and dsPIC devices.
Display adaptor
The display adaptor is based on the Solomon-Systech SSD1906 graphics controller, a very flexible graphics controller supporting 1,2,4,8, and 16bpp. This controller supports most of the common resolutions for portable applications and features hardware display rotation, covering various form factor requirements. The controller also features Virtual Display, Floating Window (variable size Overlay Window) and two Cursors to reduce the software manipulation.
Graphics interface module / Daughterboard
Choose one of four graphics interface modules and reference designs that support Hitachi TX07, TX09, TX14, TX18 and SP14 families of TFT and STN displays. All the drivers and software required to drive the target display from these boards are provided. This includes a graphics library and touch screen control software where appropriate.
Your choice of target display.
Select your display from the Hitachi TX07, TX09, TX14, TX18 and SP14 families of TFT and STN displays.
The result
A proven and working display interface design that facilitates rapid implementation, development and testing of graphics TFT based systems. All the drivers and software required to drive the target display from these boards are provided. This includes a graphics library and touch screen control software where appropriate.
Using these modules, the software team can start writing and proving their code ahead of the availability of prototype hardware, whilst the hardware team can evaluate their design concept and demonstrate it to end-users of the system. Customers using the module as a reference design are supplied with CAD files, a Bill of Materials (BoM) and the relevant source code to use as a starting point for their development.
