TFT 16-bit Library

Thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is a variant of liquid crystal display (LCD) which uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image quality (e.g., addressability, contrast).
TFT LCD is one type of active matrix LCD, though all LCD-screens are based on TFT active matrix addressing.
TFT LCDs are used in television sets, computer monitors, mobile phones, handheld video game systems, personal digital assistants, navigation systems, projectors, etc.

The mikroC PRO for FT90x provides a library for working with the following display controllers :
