The KickStart LCD modules, from GPEG, are clear, easy-to-read display modules. They offer high brightness, contrast and a wide viewing angle. The KickStart series provide large, bold characters with built-in character fonts and bargraph handling. With a high brightness backlight and soft icons alongside a surrounding membrane graphic, the KickStart LCD modules are a cost effective, flexible, intelligent front panel solution. The LCD modules are drive by the on board KS480 controller.
KickStart modules are supported by the KickDev01 development kit.
