CAMPBELL, USA: Amulet Technologies, a recognized leader in graphic user interface (GUI) solutions, has announced its new universal TFT/OLED display driver board, GEMexpress.
It is the fastest, most inexpensive production solution for adding a GUI to an embedded product. GEMexpressTM can interface to virtually any display, allowing for greater design flexibility and a shorter time to market.
GEMexpress is highly integrated (a six-layer PCBA) measuring 1.5”x3.0” and is composed of Amulet’s GEM Graphical OS Chip for color displays and those parts required to support this chip.
Amulet’s chip includes the LCD controller, touch panel decoder, ARM7 processor and most important, a Graphical Operating System in SiliconTM, which manages the entire user interface (off-loading this burden from the host processor).
GEMexpress also includes a 32 megabit serial flash for storing GUI pages, 64 megabit SDRAM (frame buffer), an integrated 4 or 5 wire touch panel decoder, a dedicated crystal and necessary power management devices. The GUI is easy to program and is the only product on the market programmed with an HTML editor or GEMstudioTM, Amulet’s new GUI design tool.
“GEMexpress is a whole new hardware approach to graphic user interface integration,” stated Jim Todd, Amulet’s Sales Director. “There is much less engineering work when integrating a GUI using the GEMexpress board compared to the traditional approach of designing in an LCD controller chip, thus designers save a lot of time and cut costs. Designers can be in production as fast as choosing a display and integrating it with GEMexpress. No messing with costly board designs.”
The board targets small to medium size OEMs integrating GUIs to any embedded product. GEMexpress display driver boards are available now for $110 through Amulet franchised distributors.
