2x the Characters in the Same PCB size
The high brightness of VFD allows four new designs of popular LCD formats to provide users with more text lines in the existing size module. The modules are backward compatible with 2x16, 2x20, 4x20 and 2x40 formats and expand to 4x16, 4x20, 8x20 and 4x40 with a single software command. A new 7x7 dot font maintains readability through increased character width. 

+ Graphics Included

Additional graphic commands allow mono-spaced or proportional multi sized fonts 5x5, 5x7, 7x7, 7x15, 10x14 and 20x28 with graphic image upload. Draw commands allow outlines and boxes to be created on screen. Russian (Cyrillic) and European font options are available.

Three Colour VFD with 2x20 LCD Emulation
              + Graphics Expansion
A two phosphor display provides red, blue and white pixels enabling an enhanced visual performance over standard monochrome displays in this popular LCD format.
The 44780 command set has been expanded to provide graphics and multi sized font capability and pixel colour control plus expansion to 3x20 characters.

Itron has spotted a niche in the market between the low cost monochrome display and the complex colour STN/TFT. This solution allows users to easily upgrade their character display to colour while using the same interface, PCB size and command set. This product is designed for vending, gaming and similar products where continuous display activity maintains even colour aging.

Colour setting is achieved using F2 command followed by

'R'=Red 'W'=White and 'S'=Sky Blue. 3 lines of 20 characters are available by accessing higher DDRAM areas in the command set.

The image shown above and below are in graphics mode using the full 128x29 dots and a pink enhancement filter.

+ Graphics Included

Additional graphic commands allow mono-spaced or proportional multi sized fonts 5x5, 5x7, 7x7, 7x15, 10x14 and 20x28 with graphic image upload. Draw commands allow outlines and boxes to be created on screen. Russian (Cyrillic) and European font options are available.

  
          
 


  

Pixel Flexible 600 Series adds 3 Formats
The three formats extend the mid range product line up for
instruments and detailed graphic application. The modules
include a jumper option to switch the interfaces to 3.3V or 5V logic operation. SPI, I2C, parallel and asynchronous communication is provided. The 240X64 module is available with
a USB interface. These 600 series products include an extensive command set plus ASCII, European and Cyrillic fonts with character formats 5x5, 5x7, 7x15 and 10x14.
Custom software options are readily available and affordable.
