Hi... I'm a seasoned embedded designer and have developed a few applications with graphic displays, though I still have some basic questions
I am quite interested in a few hundred units of both the CFAX12864CP1-NGH and CFAX12864AP-NFH. Not sure of TAB version though. Responses appreciated.
1. Are TAB style displays soldered directly to the board?
2. LCD Segment Color
Some of the display pictures, such as the CFAX12864AP demo boards, shows the display with what appears to be blue segments, other pictures as black. I prefer black segments, and plan to have my own LED backlighting. Is this a result of the EL backlight or incorrect camera color balance?
3. LED Backlight
Can you provide an LED backlight for the CFAX12864CP1-NGH or CFAX12864AP-NFH? I don't wish to use an LCD mount on a PCB with LEDs due to total thickness.
4. Backlight Colours
Should certain backlight colours be avoided? Of interest are blue, amber, yellow and possibly red.
5. Can you supply ZIF connectors?
6. TAB vs ZIF
ZIF is more expensive and requires the additional cost of a connector, though provides serviceability. TAB is cheaper, requires a few extra capacitors and the termination of additional lines. Are there any other differences? I assume TAB must be robotically soldered for manufacture?
BTW... This is an excellent site... nicely laid out and plenty of information and pictures <thumbs up>.
