LCD

Introduction

ESP chips can generate various kinds of timings that needed by common LCDs on the market, like SPI LCD, I80 LCD (a.k.a Intel 8080 parallel LCD), RGB/SRGB LCD, I2C LCD, etc. The esp_lcd component is officially to support those LCDs with a group of universal APIs across chips.

Functional Overview

In esp_lcd, an LCD panel is represented by esp_lcd_panel_handle_t, which plays the role of an abstract frame buffer, regardless of the frame memory is allocated inside ESP chip or in external LCD controller. Based on the location of the frame buffer, the LCD panel allocation functions are mainly grouped into the following categories:

• RGB LCD panel - is simply based on a group of specific synchronous signals indicating where to start and stop a frame.

• Controller based LCD panel involves multiple steps to get a panel handle, like bus allocation, IO device registration and controller driver install.

After we get the LCD handle, the remaining LCD operations are the same for different LCD interfaces and vendors.

Application Example

LCD examples are located under: peripherals/lcd:

• Universal SPI LCD example with SPI touch - peripherals/lcd/spi_lcd_touch

• Jpeg decoding and LCD display - peripherals/lcd/tjpgd

• i80 controller based LCD and LVGL animation UI - peripherals/lcd/i80_controller

• RGB panel example with scatter chart UI - peripherals/lcd/rgb_panel

• I2C interfaced OLED display scrolling text - peripherals/lcd/i2c_oled

Functions

esp_err_t esp_lcd_panel_io_rx_param(esp_lcd_panel_io_handle_t io, int lcd_cmd, void *param, size_t param_size)

Transmit LCD command and receive corresponding parameters.

备注

Commands sent by this function are short, so they are sent using polling transactions. The function does not return before the command transfer is completed. If any queued transactions sent by esp_lcd_panel_io_tx_color() are still pending when this function is called, this function will wait until they are finished and the queue is empty before sending the command(s).

参数

• io – [in] LCD panel IO handle, which is created by other factory API like esp_lcd_new_panel_io_spi()

• lcd_cmd – [in] The specific LCD command, set to -1 if no command needed

• param – [out] Buffer for the command data

• param_size – [in] Size of param buffer

返回

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if parameter is invalid

• ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED if read is not supported by transport

• ESP_OK on success

esp_err_t esp_lcd_panel_io_tx_param(esp_lcd_panel_io_handle_t io, int lcd_cmd, const void *param, size_t param_size)

Transmit LCD command and corresponding parameters.

If any queued transactions sent by esp_lcd_panel_io_tx_color() are still pending when this function is called, this function will wait until they are finished and the queue is empty before sending the command(s).

参数

• io – [in] LCD panel IO handle, which is created by other factory API like esp_lcd_new_panel_io_spi()

• lcd_cmd – [in] The specific LCD command (set to -1 if no command needed - only in SPI and I2C)
