Android and Linux-based Smart TFT displays simplify embedded development

The display modules have been designed to aid and assist embedded system development and provide engineers with easy-to-use tools to create user-friendly, interactive graphical user interfaces for industrial, security, healthcare and retail applications.

The DWIN smart TFT display range is based on robust Android and Linux platforms, offering flexibility and scalability for a wide array of applications. The display modules combine in-plane switching (IPS) TFT LCD displays, built-in projected capacitive (PCap) touchscreens and integrated Rockchip processors, which deliver vibrant, colourful display images and a fast, responsive user experience.

The DWIN Smart TFT display modules offer a wide range of scalable screen sizes that include compact 5.0-inch modules for portable, mobile devices through to 15.6-inch large format displays for industrial process control panels and signage applications. A wide range of display resolutions from 800 x 480 pixels (WVGA) up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (FHD) are supported.

Supporting cross-platform development, design engineers can choose between Android or Linux for system development. For application-rich environments, Android-based displays, enable developers to use familiar programming environments such as Android Studio to build custom applications. Linux can be used for lightweight, secure applications where designers can access open-source Linux software development kits to create tailored applications.

A PC-based, customisable development environment, DWIN DGUS, is available to enable rapid user interface design without the need for extensive coding. The DGUS development system provides a drag-and-drop interface that enables designers of all skill levels to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with minimal coding.

Justin Coleman, display business manager, RDS said: "The new DWIN Android and Linux-based smart displays allow developers to bring their ideas to life quickly and efficiently with an easy-to-use intelligent displays solution featuring user-friendly programming capabilities. The highly versatile, smart TFT displays are ideal for design engineers seeking to bring products to market in a timely and efficient manner."

For industrial process control, smart systems, med-tech devices, retail signage and many more, DWIN Smart TFT display modules can enable design engineers to create and develop graphics-based interactive systems. Dedicated customer support is available from Review Display Systems, combined with extensive documentation and example projects, to enable the design and integration into a wide range of applications.
