This section describes each in detail. Pin Detail Pin 1: 3.3V - Power Input This is the main power input pin for the display. It powers not only the display logic itself, but also the FT800 Video Engine on board the flex, along with the backlight for the 4.3” display. The recommended voltage is 3.
4DLCD-FT843 4.3” Embedded SPI Display 4D SYSTEMS 4DLCD-FT843 4.3” Embedded SPI Display Connection Detail The 4DLCD-FT843 Display features a 10 way flexible FPC, which is designed to connect into a 10 way FPC connector on a PCB. Please note, the display FPC is fragile and contains many components, so the main body of the FPC should not be bent or subjected to excessive forces or be twisted, else the flex may be damaged and the display will no longer function correctly.
