------------------------------------------------------------
I have turned segmented displays designs from youtuber Posy into real displays - and not just any displays, but displays that are thin, flexible, and act like the e-ink, meaning you can disconnect them from the power, and they will still show the content for a few minutes.
The displays were manufactured by company Ynvisible, and I´m using Arduino UNO R4 with the DAC (digital to analog converter) capability to drive those displays without any in-between driver board. The UNO R4 is needed because those displays require voltage of around 1.5V, and Arduino boards often times work with either 3.3V or 5V.

Seems like a 3.3V board would work, just set the common line to 1.65V (voltage divider between +3.3V and GND). Then you can have the pin output 3.3V (1.65V difference), 0V (-1.65V difference), or float for no change. Unless even 1.65V is too much (use a less-stiff divider, e.g. higher value resistors, to reduce current?). BTW I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought Posy. Very cool to actualize these.

A voltage divider isn’t a stable source, it’ll change the moment you draw power from it, which is why its not recommended for any use besides providing a refrence. It also limits the current quite a bit. Its probably fine for this as these displays don’t seem to draw a lot of power, but its important to keep in mind

Fascinating to see how many other people want to have a custom wall-clock display, with the ability to control it with a micro-controller. I'm seeing a great use case for having a Home-Assistant (or other platforms) wall-display with time and other icons, where they can be set on/off depending on what's needed. Excited to see what consumer-ready products would be made available for a more accessible price, to be used in a similar scope like this.

Is the minimum clearance between segments something to do with current leakage? I wonder if it could be overcome by printing an insulator into the gap rather than leaving a space
@upir_upir 3 ай бұрын
I don´t think so. It´s more about having some breathing room for printing individual layers to align them properly, the very similar restrictions would be for "standard" silkscreen printing as well. I´m almost thinking that they want to be on the safe side and the actual limit is much smaller than that.

I just had an idea about controlling the individual segments : why not connect the common pin to a 1.65 V reference voltage, and drive the pins with 3.3V logic levels, as such, you get either 1.65 V or -1.65V. For the reference voltage a simple voltage divider (3.3V/2) with low enough resistors to have enough current passing through, making the current consumed by the segments negligible (because it will make the reference fluctuate) or with a regulator able to get (very little) reverse current

it would be really interesting to find a way to produce these at home. While not at this level, for sure there's something that could be done to have something similar

You can buy just the ink separetely and experiment at home, but probably a proper lab would be a better place.

Absolutely amazing! Do you still have some spare ones? Im interested in porting one display i built years ago using old flipdot displays using these! You wouldn't still have around 15, 20 of those 3x8 characters still?

Thank you, I´m glad you like it! But unfortunately I don´t have any left, it was pretty much gone the day the video was published. What is your project for?

@@upir_upir Ah, pity! So, I have a vertical display at home that uses old flip dot matrix and shows the name of the song I'm currently displaying on Spotify. I wanted to port it to this type of display, so probably would need around 20 characters or so. I think it would look amazing in the wall.

Great displays! And for driving with 5V or 3.3V compatible boards, you only need a couple of resistors - 2 for each segment that form a voltage divider... To create a positive/negative signal, you can use an H-bridge, which is normally used to control DC motors in two directions. It seems to me that with the advent of digital processors we have forgotten the much simpler and cheaper analogue solutions :-).

Sure, but a couple of resistors is still 32 resistors..
@De_Swink 2 ай бұрын
An H-bridge consists of 4 transistors, and also requires a control signal that is supplied by... Software. Transistors are relatively expensive, especially considering you need 56 of them to control two 7 segment displays. That many transistors also require a lot of space, even when you use dedicated H-bridge ICs. A software only solution definitely makes more sense in this case.

We need Part 2 of Posy’s displays

Exactly. I need more designs for the next video.

This is cool!!!! I want to build a clock for my Workshop!!! Is there a polymer ink that is transluscent, that can switch between black blockout and clear, and then if one can put a soft light behind it, is this possible? But is is so cool just the way it is anyway😊
@upir_upir 3 ай бұрын
I don´t think such display exists - yet. But it would be a cool display. You can take a look at my videos with transparent OLED displays, those are close enough.
