1 Introduction
This guide describes how to program the S1D13504 Color Graphics LCD/CRT Controller. The
guide presents the basic concepts of the LCD/CRT controller and provides methods to directly
program the registers. It explains some of the advanced techniques used and the special features of
the S1D13504.
The guide also introduces the hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), which is designed to simplify the
programming of the S1D13504. Most S1D1350x, S1D1370x and S1D1380x products support the
HAL allowing OEMs to switch chips with relative ease.
