Adapter Board

This kind of LCD requires an adapter board. The small board generates the required bias voltages, integrates a white led driver and provides a standard 2.54 connector interface. It has to be noted that only a 3.3V supply is required.

The schematics can be found here: [2]

The assembly drawings can be found here: [3]

Note that the pin 1 of the connectors are although written in the top layer copper.

Connecting the LCD to the adapter board

Open connector, plug & align LCD Flex pin 1 and PCB pin 1
Close connector

Connections with the DevLight

Just connect signals with same names together. Use the shortest wires you can !

The DevLight schematics and specification may be usefull: [4]

Once done verify the connections by means of your multimeter. Do not forget to check the 3.3V supply polarity on the LCD_adapt board before to power up the system !

Troubleshooting

If your LCD shows too much White then set the potar on the LCD_Adapt to the minimum value.
