Notes and version constraints
- The source contains no explicit warnings; the following points require human confirmation:
- The FPC and glass panel of the large screen are fragile – handle with care when developing; reinforce the FPC with tape if needed.
- Connect all cables before powering on; hot-plugging is not supported.
- In low-temperature environments, color deviation may occur; recommended to stabilize at 25 °C for 6 hours.
- Screens without a backlight continue displaying the last content after power failure; avoid direct sunlight.
- Recommended update interval: at least every 24 hours to prevent burn-in.
- Prolonged high-voltage operation can burn out the screen; switch to sleep mode or power off after each refresh.
- After deep sleep mode, the screen must be re-initialized via software.
