GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM HARDWARE
The hardware components required for a graphic appli-
cation, with their interconnection and design decisions,
are described in the following subsections.
COMPONENTS OF A GRAPHICS
SYSTEM
There are four basic components for any embedded
graphics system, as illustrated in Figure 6 . They
consist of the display glass, display controller, frame
buffer and the microcontroller.

Display Glass
Display glass is the device which displays a sequence of
colors on the pixels and also converts the digital
representation of colors to actual colors. The term, color,
includes grayscale. Generally, the types of displays used
are TFT LCDs, CSTN/MSTN LCDs or OLED/AMOLEDs.
All the LCD modules include gate and source drivers to
drive the voltage and current for displaying all the
pixels. Table 1 gives a brief comparison of different
display technologies.
