From the Panel Settings tab in the LVDS Display (Advanced Settings) section you can specify settings for a flat panel display connected to an LVDS port. The table below describes each option on this tab.

LVDS Panel Settings Options

Flat Panel Settings

Description

Fixed Timing

This section indicates whether the attached display is a fixed timing display.

Centering and Upscaling

The Use Default check box lets you choose the default setting or either Upscaling or Force Centering.

Bit Depth

This list lets you select a color depth for the panel. You can choose either 18 or 24 bit color depth. The default is 18.

Single/Dual Channel

Select Single or Dual, depending on the panel you are using.

Flat Panel Backlight Options

This section provides options for controlling the backlight of the flat panel display and specifying timing delays.

• The Backlight Control Methods list lets you choose either No Backlight or Port Driver to control the backlight. If you choose Port Driver, you can specify the timing delays in the Timing Delays section and the GPIO pin connections in the GPIO Pin Connections section. The default is No Backlight.

Timing Delays

This section lets you specify timing delays for the backlight signals as follows:

• T1-VDD active and SDVO clock/data active: 1-512, increment by 1.

• T2-DVO active and backlight enable: 2-256, increment by 2.

• T3-Backlight disable and DVO clock/data inactive: 2-256, increment by 2.

• T4-DVO clock/data active and inactive: 1-512, increment by 1.

• T5-Minimum from VDD inactive and active: 1-1600, increment by 50.

 

IMPORTANT: Timers are very specific to the panel you are using. If they are set incorrectly the display can be damaged or ruined. Please refer to the datasheet for your display to determine the correct settings.
