FAQS about 3.5-inch TFT LCD display
- Q: Does this 3.5-inch screen support touch functionality?
A: The standard model is a pure display screen. However, we can provide you with a high-precision resistive or capacitive touchscreen, combining them into a complete touch display module, and providing the corresponding driver support.
- Q: My main controller uses an RGB or TTL interface. Can I directly use this LVDS interface screen?
A: No, you cannot connect them directly. LVDS and TTL/RGB are two different signal protocols. You need to add an “RGB to LVDS” conversion chip (such as SN75LVDS83B, etc.) or use our display module with an integrated conversion board.
- Q: Does the operating temperature of -30~80℃ include the storage temperature?
A: No, it does not. -30~80℃ specifically refers to the operating temperature, meaning that it can display normally within this range when powered on. The storage temperature is usually wider, for example, -40~85℃. Please refer to the detailed specifications for specifics. Please ensure that the screen is within the storage temperature range during transportation and storage.
- Q: Is a brightness of 450 cd/m² sufficient for clear visibility in outdoor sunlight?
A: 450 cd/m² is considered high brightness and provides good visibility in general outdoor sunlight. However, for environments with strong direct sunlight at midday, we recommend choosing a higher brightness version (such as 700-1000 cd/m²) or adding optical bonding to significantly reduce surface reflection and improve visibility.
- Q: Besides 640×480, what other resolutions are available? Are there differences in supply and price?
A: In addition to 640×480 (VGA), common resolutions include 320×240 (QVGA) and 800×480 (WVGA). The VGA version is the most common, with stable supply and high cost-effectiveness. QVGA is slightly lower in cost, while WVGA offers finer display but requires slightly higher driver capabilities. Specific supply cycles and prices need to be confirmed based on real-time demand.
