I’ve really liked the FT80x series of graphics chips, also called EVE. My main concern was that they only supported up to 512×512 pixels. That limitation prevented me from using it for 7″ displays. However, a few weeks ago the released a new generation consisting of four different versions: FT810, FT811, FT812 and FT813 ICs Among several updated features, they now support up to 800×600 pixels. Perfect match for 7″ displays. You can read more about it in the Press release.
I really want to take a closer look at this chip.
