Engineering Design & Support
Midas have a UK based team of engineers who support our customers on their product designs, providing both hardware and software support for our displays, enhancements, and accessories.
Aurum TFT Series
The Aurum series is the next-generation family of TFT displays from Midas Displays, designed and developed by our UK-based engineering team. Created with upgradability and versatility at its core, the series combines adjustable high brightness displays, a unified flex design, and support for RGB, LVDS, and HDMI interfaces. An intelligent, embedded option based on the Bridgetek BT817 advanced video engine IC is also available, making product development as seamless as possible. Initially available in 4.3”, 5.0”, 7.0” and 10.1”, each module offers: - Standard connection designs for each interface supporting interchangeability - High-bright displays for outstanding visibility in demanding environments - UK-based engineering design and support for easy project integration - Optional USB or I²C switchable PCAP touch for convenient user selection - Optional mounting lugs for stable assembly Competitively priced and future proofed, the Aurum series gives you all the flexibility and performance you need, backed by trusted UK-based design and support.
Character LCD Displays
LCD mechanical construction includes Chip on Board (COB) and Chip on Glass (COG). Positive and negative modes are available to create alternative appearances. Character LCD modules are available in reflective (no backlight), and transmissive or transflective types (with LED backlight). Interfaces are standard 8 bit/4 bit but we can offer some displays with 4 bit only, SPI, or I2C interface. The majority of character LCD controllers are HD44780 equivalent and include on board character sets, the standard being English/Japanese. Other character sets available on demand are western European, eastern European, Scandinavian European, Cyrillic (Russian), and Hebrew/Arabic. We offer 5V operating voltage as standard but for low power options, we can offer 3V and 3.3V types. There are also a variety of pin out connections to suit your requirements, in both SIL (single in line) and DIL (dual in line) format.
Graphic OLED Displays
Midas Displays offer a wide range of Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Displays (OLED) in character and graphic formats. These emissive displays are available in a range of colours on a black background (negative mode). The standard colours are white and yellow (offering 100K hours to half brightness), and also blue, green, and RGB. Operating temperature ranges are mostly wide at -40°C to +80°C . Advantages of OLED technology include very low power consumption, all-round viewing angles, fast refresh rate, and low profile display thickness. All OLED graphic modules in the Midas range have on-board controllers and interfaces include parallel, serial, and I2C. Sunlight readable technology is also available. Many small size graphic modules are ideal for wearable technology and handheld instrumentation applications.
Graphic LCD Displays
Graphic LCD displays also have mechanical construction formats of Chip on Board (COB), Chip on Glass (COG), and TAB (Tape Automated Bonded) types. Positive and negative modes are available to create alternative appearances. Graphic LCD modules are available in reflective (no backlight), and transmissive or transflective types (with LED backlight). The LED backlights are available in various colours including yellow/green, white, and RGB. Interfaces include parallel, I2C, and serial. The majority of graphic LCD controllers do not include on board character sets, however we can offer a range of products which include T6963C (or equivalent) and ST7920 controllers which provide English and/or Chinese characters. Some ST7920 based modules are formatted to have the same footprint as industry standard 16x2 and 20x2 character LCDs. We can offer 3V, 3.3V, and 5V operating voltage options.
