A. Assessment of interface definitions
The individual PIN definitions coming out of the display must be consistent with the PIN definitions connected to the customer’s motherboard.

B. LCD Interface Method
There are two common interface methods: CPU (also called MCU 8080 system) and RGB interface.
CPU interface: is the most common mode for small and medium-size, generally 8080 system, parallel data transfer.
It can be 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, 18-bit, etc., easy and convenient to control, but requires GRAM.
RGB interface: the large screen adopts more modes, the data transmission is also divided into 6, 16, 18 bit, etc., relatively speaking.
Serial transmission of data is slower, but has the advantage of fewer interface signal lines and takes up fewer resources.
C. Drive current-voltage confirmation
Determine the drive voltage according to the LCD Panel and the SPEC of the IC, e.g. VDD, VCI, according to the backlight LED
The control IC and the corresponding current and voltage values of the LEDs are determined in series or in parallel.
D. FPA, PCB wiring space assessment
Depending on the size of the product, determine whether the FPA, PCB meets the design requirements.
Adequacy of the approximate component area.
FPA minimum line width, and whether the line spacing meets the requirements.
The PCB component space is sufficient.
E. ESD assessment
In addition to adding ESD-resistant circuits to the design, the product itself needs to be protected against static electricity. In particular. Protective measures at IC locations.
