Flat Panel Settings

Description

Fixed Timing

To use fixed timing for the attached display, select this option.

Centering and Upscaling

The Use Default check box lets you choose the default setting or either Upscaling or Force Centering.

Bit Depth

This list lets you select a color depth for the panel. You can choose either 18 or 24 bit color depth. The default is 18.

Flat Panel Backlight Options

This section provides options for controlling the backlight of the flat panel display and specifying timing delays.

• The Backlight Control Methods list lets you choose either No Backlight or Port Driver to control the backlight. If you choose Port Driver, GMCH, or ICH, you can specify the timing delays in the Timing Delays section and the GPIO pin connections in the GPIO Pin Connections section. The default is No Backlight.

Timing Delays

This section lets you specify timing delays for the backlight signals as follows:

• T1-VDD active and sDVO clock/data active.

• T2-DVO active and backlight enable.

• T3-Backlight disable and DVO clock/data inactive.

• T4-DVO clock/data active and inactive.

• T5-Minimum from VDD inactive and active.

For Internal LVDS, the timing range is as follows:

• T1 to T4: 0-409, increment by 1.

• T5: 1-1600, increment by 50.

For CH7308,CH7036,STM* IOH ConneXt and Lapis Semiconductor* ML7213, the timing range is as follows:

• T1 to T4: 0-4095, increment by 1.

• T5: 1-<Max 4 byte integer value>, increment by 50.

Note: Timers are very specific to the panel you are using. If they are set incorrectly the display can be damaged or ruined. Please refer to the datasheet for your display to determine the correct settings.
