HDMI to LVDS Controller Board
An HDMI to LVDS controller board is a critical tool for connecting an HDMI signal, usually from a video source such as a computer or media player, to an LVDS-capable display. This board integrates the HDMI input and converts it into the LVDS output, ensuring that the display can accurately represent the input's graphics and video. Common retail applications include using LVDS in laptop screens or industrial monitors that require high-resolution data transmission. The convenience of using standard HDMI inputs makes these controllers ubiquitous in diverse electronics, including TVs, gaming consoles, and digital signage systems.
Single and Dual LVDS Output boards
A single LVDS board and a dual LVDS board differ primarily in the output configuration of the LVDS signals. As the name suggests, single LVDS output boards transmit one LVDS channel, ideal for displays that require low to moderate data, such as smaller screens or simple industrial monitors. In contrast, dual LVDS output boards transmit two LVDS channels, which is suitable for full HD or multi-channel displays requiring higher data throughput. These boards support complex applications with precise and synchronized image displays, including large monitors, high-resolution panels, and multi-screen setups.
HDMI LVDS controller board with Touchscreen
Adding the touch function, an HDMI LVDS controller board with touchscreen converts not just the video signal but also integrates touch interactivity on the display. The touch feedback is commonly implemented through capacitive or resistive technology, depending on the touchscreen type, overlaying an interactive layer on the display. It is widely applied in various devices like all-in-one PCs, tablets, self-service kiosks, and industrial control systems, where touch input is needed for seamless operation. This type of controller is especially installed in vibrant, interactive systems where users need inputs directly on the display interface.
The primary function of HDMI LVDS controllers is to connect an HDMI video input to an LVDS-capable display panel and a touchscreen. These controller boards convert the digital video signal into a format compatible with LVDS technology to maintain high resolution and image clarity.
The board work starts with receiving an HDMI signal that handles synchronous video and audio data from the source. Then, the board processes the incoming signal using conversion circuitry and splits it into differential pairs of LVDS signals. Finally, the LVDS signals are sent to the display panel, where the data is decoded and illustrated.
HDMI LVDS controller boards are compact and complex, with key components embedded in the modern electronic circuit, such as:
Industrial Monitors
Industrial monitors are usually used in manufacturing equipment dashboards, control systems, and industrial work environments. They use durable parts and displays capable of functioning in harsh environments, such as high and low temperatures, dust, and humidity. Controller boards convert HDMI video signals into LVDS displays, giving industrial personnel a clear, reliable view of their system status. It is especially useful in surveillance, machinery monitoring, and operational control in real-time during critical situations.
All-in-One PCs
They house all computing parts in one unit, eliminating the need for external CPUs. The main display is operated by an HDMI LVDS controller board connecting the motherboard or Graphics card directly to the LCD display using an HDMI or LVDS interface. The controller board integrates touchscreen functionality, where users can navigate the Windows interface with touch input to improve interactivity.
Digital Signage Displays
These are advertising boards located in public areas like shopping malls, airports, and bus stations, known as digital signage displays. The signage sources the video feed, like HDMI, using a controller board. The board then channels the feed to the professional display panel with LVDS to show vivid advertising, news, or other informational content. LVDS controllers make these displays reliable and prolong their life by ensuring proper signal transmission over long distances.
Laptop Screen Replacement
HDMI LVDS controller boards can replace broken or malfunctioning laptop screens. The user can directly connect the HDMI output from the computer to the controller board, which then uses LVDS to operate the external display.
Gaming Consoles on Industrial Panel
Gaming consoles run complex games, requiring high-performance displays to show large graphics. Industries use HDMI LVDS controller boards to connect gaming consoles to industrial-grade LCD panels. These panels are built to be robust, long-lasting, and capable of handling the heat and stress associated with intensive gaming without compromising performance or security. This setup enables simulation, training, and testing, offering users realistic and dynamic environments for their industrial applications.
Choosing an appropriate HDMI LVDS controller board requires several considerations to ensure the chosen board performs well for the intended application:
Resolution Requirements
The board selected must support the resolution of the intended display panel. If the application requires a 4K panel or full HD resolution, ensure that the controller board can support the resolution. For lower resolution display applications, a basic board will suffice since it will not need much power.
Signal Compatibility
Ensure the board supports the HDMI version of the input signal source. HDMI 1.4 supports up to 4K resolution, while 2.0 supports full HD 60fps. Ensure the board can support backlight LED/ CCFL of the display, especially in the case of older models requiring additional power or inverter circuits.
LVDS Pin Configuration
The LVDS pin configuration on the HDMI LCD controller should match the chosen display panel. The different panel manufacturers have different pin setups, so ensure the board purchased conforms to the display one to ensure it works well without problems.
Touchscreen Support
Touchscreen support is essential for applications needing user interaction, like tablets, industrial computers, and kiosks. There is a need to ensure the selected board has a compatible touchscreen interface and will support the kind of touch technology capacitive or resistive implemented on the screen.
Power Requirements
Check the power requirements of the controller board and ensure they fit with the HDMI input or the external power supplies. Also, consider the efficiency of the power supply to prevent excessive power consumption in the application. For LCDs needing CCFL backlighting, consider boards with efficient inverters that reduce the power consumption backlight.
User Reviews And Ratings
Asking for feedback from previous customers can help indicate the performance and reliability of the board regarding the needs and expectations. Look out for boards rated highly and frequently praised for hypothesized relevant features.
