The 1.1” Lectum display is part of the Ultrachip UC8156 platform. The display on-board highly integrated electronics contains the source and the gate drivers, the EPD controller and the power management.
Therefore, the evaluation kit has to provide some external circuitry to support the display on-board power management, and the system MCU.
The MSP430-Kit and all its components are fully compatible with the 1.38″, 2.1″ and 3.1″ displays, and no update in terms of hardware or firmware is required.
