## **Function Description** 

## **1. RGB Interface** 

The ST7701S support RGB interface Mode 1 and Mode 2. The Mode 1 and Mode 2 function is select by setting in the Command 2, please reference application note. 

In RGB Mode 1, writing data to line buffer is done by PCLK and Video Data Bus (D[23:0]), when DE is high state. The external clocks (PCLK, VS and HS) are used for internal displaying clock. So, controller must always transfer PCLK, VS and HS signal to ST7701S. In RGB Mode 2, back porch of Vsync is defined by VBP_HVRGB [7:0] of RGBCTR command. And back porch of Hsync is defined by HBP_HVRGB [7:0] of RGBCTR command. Front porch of Vsync are not setting by this mode. 

Table 1 The interface signals of RGB interface 

Page 7 of 21 

## **2. RGB Color Format** 

ST7701S supports two kinds of RGB interface, DE mode(mode 1)and HV mode(mode 2), and 16bit/18bitand 24 bit data format. When DE mode is selected and the VSYNC, HSYNC, DOTCLK, DE, D[23:0] pins can be used; when HV mode is selected and the VSYNC, HSYNC, DOTCLK, D[23:0] pins can be used. When using RGB interface, only serial interface can be selected. 

Table 2 The interface color mapping of RGB interface 

Page 8 of 21 

## **3. RGB Interface Definition** 

The display operation via the RGB interface is synchronized with the VSYNC, HSYNC, and DOTCLK signals. The data can be written only within the specified area with low power consumption by using window address function. The back porch and front porch are used to set the RGB interface timing. 

## **Figure 1Access Area by RGB Interface** 

Please refer to the following table for the setting limitation of RGB interface signals. 

_Note:_ 

_1. Typical value are related to the setting frame rate is 60Hz.._

## **4. RGB Interface Mode Selection** 

ST7701Ssupports two kinds of RGB interface, DE mode andHV mode. The table shown below uses command C3h to select RGB interface mode. 

## **5. RGB Interface Timing**

## Note 2: Test equipment setup: 

After stabilizing and leaving the panel alone at a driven temperature for 10 minutes, the measurement should be executed. Measurement should be executed in a stable, windless, and dark room. Optical specifications are measured by Topcon BM-7or BM-5 luminance meter 1.0° field of view at a distance of 50cm and normal direction.

## Note 3: Definition of Response time: 

The response time is defined as the LCD optical switching time interval between “White” state and “Black” state. Rise time, Tr, is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 90%to 10%. And fall time, Tf, is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 10%to 90%

## Note 4: Definition of contrast ratio: 

The contrast ratio is defined as the following expression. 

Luminance measured when LCD on the "White" state Contrast ratio (CR) = Luminance measured when LCD on the "Black" state 

Page 13 of 21 

## Note 5: Definition of Luminance Uniformity 

Active area is divided into 9 measuring areas (reference the picture in below). Every measuring point is placed at the center of each measuring area. Luminance Uniformity (U) = Lmin/Lmax x100% L = Active area length W = Active area width
