Newhaven Display LCDs Technology
Newhaven Display LCDs offers a wide range of character and graphic LCD displays designed for embedded, industrial, medical, and commercial applications. These displays offer LCD solutions engineered for long‑term availability, consistent performance, and straightforward integration. These LCDs use COG (Chip‑On‑Glass) as a key construction technology across these display types to achieve compact size, efficiency, and reliability. The Character LCDs are excellent for text‑based interfaces, while Graphic LCDs are ideal for flexible and interactive visual layouts.
Character LCD Displays
The Character LCD displays are designed to present predefined alphanumeric characters in fixed rows and columns. These displays are widely used in systems where clarity, simplicity, and low system overhead are essential. The character LCDs typically rely on built‑in character generators and standard command sets, enabling easy integration with microcontrollers.
Graphic LCD Displays
The Graphic LCD displays provide pixel‑level control, allowing designers to create custom user interfaces that include icons, symbols, graphics, and multiple font styles.
COG LCD Construction (Chip‑On‑Glass)
The COG construction integrates the LCD driver IC directly onto the glass substrate, reducing thickness, component count, and improving reliability.
