Display Options

Several display driving modules are available for various 68HC05 and 68HC08 microcontrollers. These include: On Screen Display (OSD) for television screens, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) drivers of differing sizes, Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) drivers for applications like video recorders and microwave ovens, and Light Emitting Diodes (LED) for simple display-type applications.

LCD
Their are several different liquid crystal display (LCD) modules in the 68HC05 and 68HC08 family that directly drive liquid crystal displays of sizes ranging from 45 segments to over 20,000 bit mapped pixel displays.

VFD
The vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) module can directly drive VFD grids and anodes.

OSD
The on-screen display (OSD) module converts programmed character addresses and control information into digital color and blanking outputs to display user defined characters on a television screen for on-screen programming and closed-captioning applications.

CCTV
The closed caption television (CCTV) module is used in television receivers, set-top decoders, or VCRs conforming to the NTSC standard. A programmable data slicer (DSL) extracts closed-caption compatible data from an NTSC composite video signal for closed-caption and extended data services applications. Once the data is extracted an on-screen display system (OSD) displays the data on the television screen.
