What is FSC LCD?
FSC LCD is also called Field Sequential Color display or FSC Display which provides a custom color LCD low-cost solution.
FSC LCD is a uniquely different color technology. It’s not a replacement for OLED or TFT because it doesn’t display video or high-resolution photos.
What good is FSC LCD?
FSC fits a niche in the growing market of custom color LCD display modules.
In the past, OEM designers were restricted to standard size color displays set by the OLED or TFT manufacturer. FSC technology removes this constraint and at a surprisingly low cost.
FSC color display takes the single color offered by static/segmented display and add seven additional colors.
Customers choose which icons they want on their display, the dimensions of the glass, and receive a customized solution.
How does FSC work?
FSC LCD Displays implement an RGB backlight to display brilliant bright colors. The colors are brighter than other displays because there is no filter.
The lack of filter allows a darker black positive mode (dark letters on a light background) and a brighter white negative mode (light colored letters on a dark background).
Each segment can display any of seven different colors. The color change is controlled through the customer's software/firmware.
What is the Difference between a FSC Color Display and a Segmet/Static Display?
- The FSC display provides seven colors plus the background color. The static display only offers one color.
- The FSC allows the OEM's software to change the color of each segment. The static does not have this option.
- FSC includes a controller/driver chip to replace the need for multiple pins or multiplexing. This reduces the number of pins necessary on your mpu.
What are the Advantages of FSC over OLED and TFT ?
- Lower cost
- The display is customized to the size the customer needs.
- Requires a less expensive microprocessor to drive the display.
- Low MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity. This is the number of displays that you would need to purchase at one time.)
What are the Disadvantages of FSC?
- It’s limited to seven colors and not thousands.
- At this time the max size of the display is 7 inches.
- Cannot display video or high-resolution photos
