Embedded Display

Calculate MIPI DSI lane rate from resolution, wire pixel format, refresh rate, and transfer time. Check blanking, packet overhead, byte clocks, and host limits.

Compare MIPI DSI command and video modes by panel memory, continuous streaming, partial updates, TE synchronization, bandwidth, power, and driver support.

Calculate TFT LCD pixel clock from active pixels, porches, sync widths, and refresh rate. Includes an 800 x 480 example, register checks, and bandwidth math.

Understand TFT LCD AVDD, VGH, VGL, and VCOM rails, how they differ from logic and backlight power, and how to measure bias faults without guessing voltages.

Plan TFT LCD power sequencing with checks for logic rails, reset, initialization, image data, backlight enable, shutdown, brownouts, and fast restarts.

Debug a black or white MIPI DSI display by checking power, reset, LP commands, D-PHY clocks, lanes, video mode, packet timing, errors, and panel init.

Stop TFT screen tearing by synchronizing framebuffer updates, DMA transfers, page flips, SPI flushes, VSYNC, and TE signals. Includes tests and design fixes.

Diagnose TFT LCD lines, noise, shifted images, and artifacts by testing patterns, timing, interfaces, FPCs, power, EMI, and panel behavior.

Diagnose an LCD that shows a faint image but has no backlight. Check LED strings, boost voltage, current driver, enable, PWM, faults, FPC, and thermal issues.

Fix a TFT LCD white screen with a systematic checklist covering backlight, power rails, reset, initialization, interface timing, FPC, and panel faults.
