TFT LCD with Touch Panel
The SAM9N12/CN11-DM board features an LCD controller. The 4.3" 480x272 LCD provides the DM
with a low power LCD display feature, back light unit and a touch panel, similar to that used on commer-
cial PDAs.
Graphics and text can be displayed on the dot matrix panel with up to 16 million colors by supplying 24-
bit data signals (8 bit
x
RGB by default). This allows the user to develop graphical user interfaces for a
wide variety of end applications.
Warning: Never connect/disconnect the LCD display from the board while the power supply is on. Doing
so may damage both units.
