End-to-end support from display evaluation to embedded device
prototyping and UI development
Greatly reduces the setup time
for an evaluation environment
The Evaluation Kit consists of a Display Evaluation Board equipped with a display, and a Control/Conversion Board that enables easy integration with your system environment.
In addition, we offer software libraries compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, and Python.
With a hardware setup that connects easily without soldering and sample code that enables immediate operation, you can smoothly start evaluation, prototyping, and UI development, significantly reducing the burden in the early stages of development.

Evaluation System Configuration
◆ Configuration Patterns
You can select the optimal display evaluation system configuration according to your development objectives and evaluation environment.
- For those who want to quickly set up an evaluation environment
→ Pattern 1 - For those who want to use existing MCU or development boards
→ Pattern 2 - For those who want simple connections for verification
→ Pattern 3
Pattern 1
Easy Evaluation Starter Setup
- Configuration
- Control Board + Display Evaluation Board
- Feature
- Enables a reliable evaluation environment using a pre-validated control board
- Purposes
- Display operation verification, lighting demo setup, and first-time display integration
Minimizing the hardware and software preparation, allowing you to smoothly start evaluation.
Pattern 2
Using Existing Environment for Development
- Configuration
- Off-the-shelf MCU / Development Boards + Interface Board + Display Evaluation Board
- Feature
- Enables flexible validation and development using existing development assets
- Purposes
- Functional evaluation, simple prototyping, and embedded development
Compatible with Arduino-supported boards and Raspberry Pi, enabling flexible display control and application development.
Pattern 3
Simple Minimal Setup
- Configuration
- Off-the-shelf MCU / Development Boards + Display Evaluation Board (SPI/I²C models only)
- Feature
- Easy connection using the display evaluation board interface (mikroBUS-compatible pin headers)
- Purposes
- Simple evaluation, prototyping, and embedded development
Eliminating unnecessary components, allowing efficient validation and development with a minimal configuration.
◆ Block Diagram
- ＊This block diagram includes a simple evaluation setup using a control board (Pattern 1), a development setup using existing MCU or development boards (Pattern 2), and a minimal setup connected directly to the display evaluation board (Pattern 3).
- ＊When using a single-board computer (such as a Raspberry Pi), it is also possible to operate independently without a PC.
Features of the Evaluation System
◆ Display Evaluation Board
-
We offer a full lineup of display evaluation boards covering all standard models, including variations in interfaces such as SPI and I²C.
Each board integrates the necessary peripheral circuits, allowing you to immediately begin display verification and evaluation.
The display evaluation board consists of three components—E-Board, D-Board, and FFC—and can be reconfigured according to your application and development stage.
The E-Board is equipped with the display device and can operate independently. The D-Board handles power supply and connectivity to the control-side board.
-
The display evaluation board is equipped with pin headers, allowing easy connection without the need for soldering.
Serial interface models (SPI/I²C) feature mikroBUS-compatible pin headers, enabling direct connection not only to our control and interface boards but also to mikroBUS-enabled MCU and development boards (such as Click Shields), making it easy to verify and evaluate display operation.
◆ Control Board /
Conversion Board
Conversion Board
-
To suit different evaluation environments and development objectives, we offer two types of boards: a "Control Board" with a built-in control device, and an "Interface Board" designed for use with commercially available MCU and development boards.
The Control Board allows you to quickly set up an evaluation environment without the need for additional components.
The Interface Board supports flexible evaluation and embedded development by leveraging existing development platforms such as Arduino UNO, Raspberry Pi Pico, and ESP32.
-
Each board is equipped with pin sockets and pin headers, enabling easy and fast solderless connections.
Connections to the display evaluation board and commercially available MCU boards can also be made smoothly, allowing you to set up an evaluation environment in a short time and efficiently proceed with validation and development tasks.
◆ Software Library
-
We provide software libraries compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, and Python free of charge to customers who purchase our display evaluation kits.
The libraries include sample code pre-configured for the control-side hardware environment, allowing you to use programs such as initialization and display control as-is.
By using the sample code, you can perform display evaluation and operation verification without any code modifications.
This significantly reduces the effort required for initial setup and evaluation environment construction, enabling efficient progress from evaluation and verification to prototype development.For details on the supported control-side hardware environments and

Software Libraries
for Evaluation Kitsopen_in_new -
In addition to display initialization, the system supports image rendering (drawing arbitrary images), text rendering (displaying arbitrary text), and graphics rendering (drawing basic shapes such as points, lines, and rectangles) through integration with external libraries.
By using these display functions, you can efficiently carry out prototyping and operation verification by combining the display evaluation kit with external devices such as sensor modules.
