Last updated a very long time ago...

Here is a short description of the DG071Z lcd display I fell over.

I'm working on a better page but since that will take awhile (as in maybe never) I decided to just scribble down my notes (before I loose them) here for a start.
Most of the info is based on my tests with a multimeter. If a pin goes from U1-1 to U2-2 it can also go to U3-3 since I didn't check every possibility everywhere.

What I found out so far;

I'm trying to find a good connector for the flat cable. I tried one but ended up frying the display so I need something better before I can even do a testrun.

If you have more info, corrections, questions etc., send an email to; <peters AT techwiz.ca>

The documentation I have is:

Toshiba T6963C Technical description
Toshiba T6963C Application Notes
Comments to the Toshiba doc
Sample program in C (for another LCD display)
Lcd driver LC7940ND/LC7941ND
Lcd driver LC7942ND

The unit has a few components.
CN1 Flat Cable Main connection
CN2
Small Connector
U1 T6963C LCD Controller
U2 LC3664BML-12 8Kx8 Ram
U3 8S9 LCD Power module (?)
U4 LC7940 LCD Driver X
U5 LC7940 LCD Driver X
U6 LC7940 LCD Driver X
U7 LC7942 LCD Driver Y
X1 400??? Can't read what's stamped on it

All values are measured on the board so they are only guidelines.
C1 205nF
C2 95nF
C3 268nF
C4 230nF
R1 97ohm
R2 99ohm
R3 4K46ohm

Here comes some schematics extracts
CN1 is the flat cable
CN2 is the small one on top
CN1-1 = Connectior 1, pin 1
