About the GLCD01 PCB

GLCD01 is an open source PCB design by mlab-modules, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 40.5 × 59.9 mm, with 14 components from 12 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MIC1557YM5. By type, the board carries 5 resistors, 4 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC, 1 transistor and 1 diode.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

MLAB module for the TN0181ANVNANN-GN00 square MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) LCD display. Communicates over 3-wire SPI (SCLK, SI, SCS). Includes an onboard MIC1557 RC oscillator for VCOM generation — no external signal required. Powered from 3.3 V via the MLAB 2×7 pin header.

MLAB module for the TN0181ANVNANN-GN00 square MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) LCD display. MIP displays retain the image without power, making them suitable for low-power applications. The display is connected via a 10-pin FPC connector (J2) and communicates over a 3-wire SPI interface (SCLK, SI, SCS).

The module includes a MIC1557 RC oscillator that generates the required VCOM polarity-reversal signal for the LCD, so no external signal source is needed. Power supply is 3.3 V via the standard MLAB 2×7 pin header (J1).
