FPC
FPC stands for flexible printed circuit. An example of an FPC is the gold tail on most of our TFTs and touchscreens. FPCs commonly included components, in contrast with an FFC. FPCs are typically used with a ZIF connector to connect to a PCB. When looking for a compatible ZIF connector for a given FPC,
Transparent Display: How to Hack Together Your Own Transparent Display
DIY Transparent Display The transparent display we offer for sale (CFAL12856A0-0151) is an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display. OLED displays produce images by emitting light in the corresponding color. To produce black in a normal OLED, the pixels are simply turned off. With the transparent display, if the pixels are turned off, the display

24-Bit RGB
24-Bit RGB: Used to describe a clocked parallel TFT connection that uses 24 data lines (8 for Red, 8 for Green, 8 for Blue) as well as Hsync, Vsync data enable, and pixel clock to transfer data to the TFT. Theoretical color depth is 224 or 16,777,216 colors.
18-Bit RGB
18-Bit RGB describes a clocked parallel TFT connection that uses 18 data lines (6 for Red, 6 for Green, 6 for Blue) as well as Hsync, Vsync, data enable, and pixel clock to transfer image data to a TFT. The theoretical color depth is 218 or 262,144 colors as each of the 18 data bus
HDMI
HDMI is an acronym for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI means it is able to send a lot of data, very quickly. However, HDMI isn’t an analog communication like VGA, S-Video or parallel like 24-bit or 18-bit RGB TFTs. HDMI is actually a high-speed serial interface using a fancy TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) protocol. Unlike
