LCD Display Modules by Interface
Interface is usually the first thing that decides whether a panel fits your board, not the last. Start from what your processor can actually drive, then choose size and resolution within that.
UART Serial
A UART / smart serial module carries its own controller and command set.
5 models
SPI
Four to five wires (clock, data, chip select, command/data, optional reset); the panel's own driver IC holds the frame buffer and the host only sends what has changed.
19 models
RGB Parallel
Your processor drives the panel directly - 16, 18 or 24 data lines plus sync signals, straight out of the display controller on your SoC.
30 models
MIPI DSI
A high-speed differential serial interface - far fewer physical pins than RGB at a given resolution, at the cost of needing a MIPI DSI-capable host block.
7 models
MCU (8080 / 6800) Parallel
An 8 or 16-bit parallel data bus with read/write/chip-select control lines - the panel's own driver IC holds the frame buffer, the same way SPI does, but the wider bus moves data faster for the pin cost.
26 models
I²C
Two wires - SDA and SCL - shared with any other I²C devices on the same bus.
3 modelsInterfaces - questions
Why does the interface matter more than the size?
It decides whether your processor can drive the panel at all. A perfect size and resolution is useless if the host has no way to talk to it - interface is usually the first filter, not the last, in a real selection process.
What if I do not know which interface I need?
Check your processor's datasheet for a display or LCD controller block - if it has one, it names the interface (RGB/DPI, LVDS or MIPI DSI). If it has none, you are choosing between SPI, MCU-parallel, I²C or a UART smart module, mainly on pin budget and update speed. Our interface guide walks through the decision in full.
Can you build a custom interface bridge?
We do not add bridge ICs as a standard product, but FPC, connector and driver IC selection are all things we change per project - send us your host's interface and we will say what fits directly and what would need extra hardware.
