UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) refers to a type of display system that uses UART communication to interface with a microcontroller or other embedded systems. Let’s break down the terms:
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter):
UART is a communication protocol commonly used for serial communication between devices. It is asynchronous, meaning that data is sent without a shared clock signal between the sender and receiver.
UART communication involves two pins: TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive). Data is transmitted from the TX pin of one device and received on the RX pin of the other.
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor):
TFT refers to the thin-film transistor technology used in the construction of certain types of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). TFT displays are commonly used in devices like smartphones, computer monitors, and other electronic displays.
TFT displays provide high-quality color reproduction and are known for their fast refresh rates and better image quality compared to older LCD technologies.
Now, combining UART and TFT means that the TFT display is being controlled or communicated with using UART protocols. In practical terms, this often involves sending serial data (commands and/or data) from a microcontroller or another embedded system to the TFT display to control what is shown on the screen.
For example, a microcontroller might send commands to initialize the TFT display, set the display resolution, and then send data to display images or text. The communication is typically done using specific protocols and commands that the TFT display understands.
The advantage of using UART for TFT communication lies in its simplicity and ease of implementation. It allows for a straightforward way to control the display without the need for complex wiring or dedicated display controllers.
It’s worth noting that there are other interfaces commonly used with TFT displays, such as SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit). The choice of interface depends on the specific requirements of the application and the capabilities of the devices involved.

Yeebo enhances TFT displays with curved lens and coating technologies
With a record number of industries actively digitalising their infrastructures, displays are an effective interface to enrich communication with the end-user. Starting with smart wearables and up to electric cars, products using TFT displays have helped push boundaries in terms of form, fit and function.
The benefits of optical bonding in noticeably enhancing readability under all shades of light, preventing fogging as well as absorbing shocks and vibrations, are well-known in rugged and outdoor human-machine interfaces.
In most cases, though, optical bonding seems to be confined to a single connection between the cover lens or touch panel and TFT. When a project requires bonding multiple TFTs within a single cover lens or just a screen in a relatively wider cover lens, the approach needs a rethink.
Through extensive know-how in optically clear adhesives and bonding processes, and worldwide market experience, Yeebo has honed its technology to cater for multi-screen optical bonding. The technology, which is scalable to cover lenses as wide as 1,000 mm, is particularly suited to shelf labelling systems and digital signage applications housing several displays, rack-mounted letterbox user interfaces in broadcast studios, and consumer & professional appliances.
In a typical configuration, customers use two or more Yeebo’s 3.9” IPS TFTs (YB-TG480128S01A-N-A0) optically bonded to a single cover lens.
Yeebo’s optical bonding technologies do not stop at flat cover lenses: they now include curved surfaces to open a new array of designs and applications. From mobile ticketing devices and access control systems to marine navigation dashboards and dynamic information displays, Yeebo’s curved lenses are set to stimulate a new wave of ergonomically sound, innovative TFT designs.
