^ Microchip Digital displays improve the user interface of just about any application. Segmented LCDs have historically been a popular choice of display technology and their use continues to grow in a variety of medical and industrial applications. In recent years there has been a significant rise in the use of graphical displays—such as TFT, OLED and CSTN—in consumer, appliance and automotive applications. Users prefer intuitive menus, vivid graphics, touch panel interaction and, in some cases, the ability to interact remotely with a system. Designers migrating toward graphical displays...
