Overview of the Built-in Font Library in WINSTAR OLED Module SSD1311 IC

When customers use Winstar OLED modules for text layout, they need to utilize a font library for compilation. Winstar provides ICs with built-in font libraries to meet customer needs. When customers write display images, they can directly use the internal font library of the IC to quickly complete the compilation of the display images, reducing the time required to integrate the OLED module into their products.

For OLED modules with COG (Chip-on-Glass) structure, customers can choose to use the SSD1311 driver IC with built-in fonts. The character display effect is shown in Figure 1. Modules equipped with the SSD1311 IC can support up to 4 lines of text display, with each line displaying up to 20 characters. Each character is composed of a 5x8 pixel matrix. The built-in ROM standard font library includes ASCII, English, European, and Japanese character sets, as shown in Figures 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c).

Winstar offers OLED modules with built-in character ICs in the COG structure, helping customers quickly complete display images compilation. This ultimately shortens the development timeline for integrating OLED modules into products, realizing the vision of seamless integration.
