SharpMemory LCD BoosterPack

The Sharp® Memory LCD BoosterPack plug-in module is based on the LS013B4DN04 display from Sharp Electronics and features capacitive touch sliders. MCU LaunchPad™ evaluation kit developers can use this BoosterPack to display sensor readings, time, and other information using the display's 96x96 pixels and can also provide touch-based input. The Sharp Microelectronics LS013B4DN04 1.35-inch PNLC Memory LCD is loaded with features that deliver a display capable of smooth-moving graphics with 50% reflectance and low power use of 10 µW. The LCD is visible in a 0.5-lux environment without requiring a light source

Reflective panel of white and black with aspect ratio of 1:1
1.3-inch screen has 96x96 resolution (9216 pixels stripe array)
Display control by serial data signal communication (SPI)
Typical power consumption 6 µW (static mode, depends on update rate)

Two capacitive touch sliders are featured to enable user input. Each slider consists of three elements, one of which is on both the top and bottom of the slider. The capacitive touch sliders are bare PCB elements without any material overlay. This reduces overall performance but is still sufficient for menus and other user interaction with the Sharp display.
