Getting my head around LCD panels for fun and because I wanna do some wearable shit.
Anyway, I'm seeing LCD/oled modules on breakout boards, I always assumed the driver was on the breakout board and every pin on the ribbon cable was basically used, now I'm looking at them and for most modules they just tie 90% of the pins to ground through a cap/resistor, and that maybe there's two or three pins for data, be it i2c or spi.
This confused the living hell out of me for a bit, then I realized the controller chip is the long (Maybe 1x20mm for example) die mounted on the bottom of the flex cable. Is this accurate?
