Interface Description

important:

1. The following pin numbers 1~7 refer to the module pin numbers of our company with PCB backplane. If you are buying a bare screen, please refer to the pin definition of the bare screen specification, refer to the wiring according to the signal type instead of directly according to the following. The module pin number is used for wiring. For example: DC is 6 feet on our module. It may be x pin on different size bare screen.
2. About VCC supply voltage: The IPS display module can only be connected to 3.3V.
3. 4. 5. About backlight voltage: The module with PCB backplane has integrated triode backlight control circuit, only need to input high level or PWM wave on BL pin to backlight. If you are buying a bare screen, the LEDAx is connected to 3.0V-3.3V, and the LEDKx can be grounded.

Hardware Configuration

The LCD module hardware circuit comprises two parts: an LCD display control circuit and a backlight control circuit. The LCD display control circuit is used to control the pins of the LCD, including  control pins and data transfer pins. The backlight control circuit is used to control the backlight to be on and off. Of course, if the backlight is not required to be be on and off, can be directly connected to the 3.3V power supply.

working principle

1. Introduction to ST7789 Controller
   The ST7789 controller supports a maximum resolution of 240*320 and a 172800-byte GRAM. It also supports 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit parallel port data buses. It also supports 3-wire and 4-wire SPI serial ports. Since parallel control requires a large number of IO ports, the most common one is SPI serial port control. The ST7789 also supports 65K, 262K RGB color display, display color is very rich, while supporting rotating display and scroll display and video playback, display in a variety of ways.
   The ST7789 controller uses 16bit (RGB565) to control a pixel display, so it can display up to 65K colors per pixel. The pixel address setting is performed in the order of rows and columns, and the incrementing and decreasing direction is determined by the scanning mode. The ST7789 display method is performed by setting the address and then setting the color value.

2. Introduction to SPI communication protocol
   The 4-wire SPI bus write mode timing is shown in the following figure :CSX is a slave chip select, and the chip is enabled only when CSX is low. D/CX is the data/command control pin of the chip. When DCX is low, the command is written. When it is high, the data is written. SCL is the SPI bus clock, and each rising edge transmits 1 bit of data; SDA is the data transmitted by SPI, and it transmits 8-bit data at a time. The data format is as shown below:
   

The high position is in front and transmitted first. For SPI communication, the data has a transmission timing, that is, a combination of clock phase (CPHA) and clock polarity (CPOL): The CPOL level determines the idle state level of the serial synchronous clock, CPOL = 0, which is low. CPOL does not have a lot of impact on the transport protocol; The level of CPHA determines whether the serial synchronous clock is acquired on the first clock transition edge or the second clock transition edge. When CPHL = 0, data acquisition is performed on the first edge of the transition; The combination of the two becomes the four SPI communication methods. SPI0 is usually used in China, that is, CPHL = 0, CPOL = 0.

Software Description

1. Code Architecture
   A. C51, STM32 and MSP430 code architecture description
   The code architecture is shown below:
   The Demo API code of the main program runtime is included in the test code; LCD initialization and related operations are included in the LCD code; Drawing points, lines, graphics, and Chinese and English character display related  operations are included in the GUI code; The main function implements the application to run; Platform code varies by platform; SPI initialization and configuration related operations are included in the SPI code; The key processing related code is included in the key code (the C51 and MSP 430 platform does not have a button processing code); The code related to the led configuration operation is included in the led code(the MSP 430 platform does not have a led code);

2. software SPI and hardware SPI description
   The IPS module provides software SPI and hardware SPI sample code (except STC89C52RC, because it does not have hardware SPI function), the two sample code does not make any difference in the display content, but the following aspects are different: 
   

3. A. display speed
   The hardware SPI is significantly faster than the software SPI, which is determined by the hardware.

4. B. GPIO definition
   The software SPI all control pins must be defined, any idle pin can be used, the hardware SPI data and clock signal pins are fixed (depending on the platform), other control pins should be defined by themselves, or any idle reference can be used. foot.

5. C. initialization
   When the software SPI is initialized, only the GPIO for pin definition needs to be initialized (not required by the C51 platform). When the hardware SPI is initialized, the relevant control registers and data registers need to be initialized.

6. GPIO definition description

7. A. STM32 test program GPIO definition description non-SPI GPIO definition is placed in lcd.h as shown below(take STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller FSMC test program as an example): All pin definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO. If you are using a hardware SPI test program, you do not need to define the GPIO of  the SPI. If you use the software SPI test program, the SPI GPIO definition is placed in spi .h, as shown below (take STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller test program as an example): all pin definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO.

8. B. C51 test program GPIO definition description GPIO definition is placed in the lcd.h file, as shown below:If the software SPI is used, all pin definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO. If hardware SPI is used, the LCD_BL, LCD_RS, LCD_CS, and LCD_RST pin  definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO. LCD_CLK and LCD_SDI do not need to be defined.

9. C. MSP430 test program GPIO definition description non-SPI GPIO definition is placed in lcd.h as shown below: All pin definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO. If you are using a hardware SPI test program, you do not need to define the GPIO of the SPI. If you use the software SPI test program, the SPI GPIO definition is placed in spi.h, as shown below: all pin definitions can be modified and can be defined as any other free GPIO.

10. SPI communication code implementation

11. A. STM32 test program SPI communication code implementation Hardware SPI communication is implemented by the system. We only need to MCU related documentation. The software SPI communication code is implemented in spi.c ,as shown in the following figure: If the transmitted data bit is 1, the SPI data pin is pulled high. When it is 0, the SPI data pin is pulled low, one byte of data is transferred each time, the upper bit is first, and one bit of data is transmitted on each rising edge of the clock.

12. B. C51 test program SPI communication code implementation The software SPI communication code is implemented in lcd.c ,as shown in the following figure: If the transmitted data bit is 1, the SPI data pin is pulled high. When it is 0, the SPI data pin is pulled low, one byte of data is transferred each time, the upper bit is first, and one bit of data is transmitted on each rising edge of the clock.

13. C. MSP430 test program SPI communication code implementation The software SPI communication code is implemented in spi.c ,as shown in the following figure:If the transmitted data bit is 1, the SPI data pin is pulled high. When it is 0, the SPI data pin is pulled low, one byte of data is transferred each time, the upper bit is first, and one bit of data is transmitted on each rising edge of the clock.

Common software

This set of test examples requires the display of Chinese and English, symbols and pictures, so the modulo software is used. There are two types of modulo software:

Image2Lcd and PCtoLCD2002. Here is only the setting of the modulo software for the test program.

The PCtoLCD2002 modulo software settings are as follows:

• Dot matrix format select Dark code
• the modulo mode select the progressive mode
• Take the model to choose the direction (high position first)
• Output number system selects hexadecimal number
• Custom format selection C51 format

The specific setting method is as follows:

Image2Lcd modulo software settings are shown below:

The Image2Lcd software needs to be set to horizontal, left to right, top to bottom, and low position to the front scan mode.
