MIPI D-PHY & ARM Architecture

MIPI DSI Display Modules

Introducing our line of compact, industrial-grade MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface) display modules, designed for ARM-based embedded controllers, handheld medical instruments, and IoT terminal panels. Utilizing high-speed differential D-PHY serial lanes with a low-voltage swing (200mV), our modules guarantee high-bandwidth data transmission up to 1.5 Gbps per lane with minimal EMI emissions. Connected via thin, space-saving flexible print circuits (FPC) with integrated capacitive touch overlays.

DSI Protocol

High-speed low-power embedded modules

High-Bandwidth DSI Protocol

Employs a packet-based serial bus containing 2-lane or 4-lane data arrays alongside differential clock pins.

Minimal Signal Voltage Swing

Uses low-power sub-1V differential swings (typically 200mV) to dramatically curb electrical noise and system power draw.

Space-Saving FPC Ribbons

Features flexible flat ribbon cables that combine power, display, backlighting, and I2C touch into a single thin connection.

ARM Processor Integration

Pre-configured driver configurations for Raspberry Pi, NXP i.MX, NVIDIA Jetson, and Rockchip ARM system-on-chip platforms.

Single-Connector Touch Display

Integrates Projected Capacitive (PCAP) multi-touch and controller ICs directly onto the tail of the FPC cable.

Handheld & Portable Optimized

Designed to withstand physical shocks, rapid temperature changes, and continuous battery-operated usage profiles.

MIPI DSI Interface Flexible PCB Routing Board Layout Design
Module Integration

Optimized for compact smart terminals

The MIPI DSI protocol has revolutionized handheld and mobile display designs. Traditional RGB parallel displays require over 40 signal traces, leading to complex PCB routing and high EMI. MIPI DSI handles high resolution video over just a few differential D-PHY lane pairs on a thin FPC ribbon. Keetronics display modules integrate low-profile display assemblies, high-reliability touch sensors, and custom host connector adapter boards, making them ideal for spaces where every millimeter and milliwatt counts.

  • Automated FPC hot-bar soldering for stable, vibration-proof connections
  • Index-matched optical clear adhesive lamination for outdoor visibility
  • Integrated LED driver boards with dimming control logic
  • Ready-to-use linux device tree overlays (DTO) for rapid prototyping
