Color Profiles

Image
I bought a Spyder 5 Elite display calibrator. Then, it's inevitable that I will start benchmarking and calibrating all the devices I own. I think it would be nice to share the generated color profiles so owners of those (poorly factory-calibrated) devices can use them to hopefully get a better color reproduction.  As a rule of thumb, without any calibrator or color palettes on hand, you can compare your device with an Apple device (which usually has a good factory calibration and does not have the "vibrant enhancement" BS) to get a sense of its color accuracy. All calibrations are done with the default settings (50% brightness, Gamma 2.2, 6500K) I do not provide any guarantee on the quality of those profiles. Use it at your own risk.

Teardown of an early capacitive tablet: Mitsubishi Grafnet Model 01

Image
 I recently acquired a very early Mitsubishi drawing tablet. The information I can find online is sparse, so I will tear it down and do some literature searches. Before doing the teardown, I knew nothing about this tablet except that it was made sometime in the 1980s. Cardboard box Accessories My device comes with a pen and a pointing device. At this point, I'm sure it's not based on the inductor resonant technology WACOM is known for: The pen is metallic, with only a very sharp metal tip. The pointing device also has a small ring, the electronic coupling element. This means that the coupling mechanism is not inductive but capacitive. In other words, it's more akin to the Apple Pencil. Later, I found a patent for that pointing device and confirmed it uses a capacitive technology. Also, the pen and the pointing device are tethered, so I'm expected to find a simple signal chain design. US 5,041,820 filed in 1987 by Pentel Co Ltd The tablet itself Taking a peek inside Open...

Let's Drive LCD - Extras

Image
Inspired by Wenting, I too have developed an affection for flat-panel displays. However, since the 2010s, the industry has gradually phased out these models, leading to a decline in usage. When I began exploring embedded development in 2012, the most popular display module for beginners was still the Nokia 3310 . Today, however, the kids are working with ST7789V IPS RGB LCDs , boasting a PPI of 260 as their first display. It's incredible how much things have changed! There's a saying: "Things become desirable once they're obsolete." A new generation of tech enthusiasts will come to appreciate the unique aesthetic qualities of these older technologies without having to endure their limitations in daily use. In an era when we all carry ultra-high-performance flat-panel displays in our pockets, these vintage modules certainly have a nostalgic appeal that can be appreciated for their design. This is a post of me driving the mysterious LCD or other flat-panel display m...
