@peekay123 Thanks for the info Paul.
About VCOM, so is it like were just hitting it with more power every second to keep the pixel nice and black because if we didn’t they would just fade out to the point that we don’t see them anymore? That makes sense to me if thats whats happening.
I ended up picking up a special ultra low power square wave pulse generating chip that only consumes 1.35uA when generating a Square Wave at 49Hz.
So you could have the Spark Core or any Micro draw out the Sharp LCD Screen Data and then put the micro controller back to sleep while the Sharp LCD holds that image forever while only consuming only 12uW on the smaller screen and the 135uW on the 2.7 inch screen.
Sharp says the screens consume about 100 times less power than it takes to blink a LED as a status indicator.
Here is a link to the Chip on Digikey. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/TS3005ITD1033T/TS3005ITD1033TCT-ND/3945109
Finding the Demo Board is tricky but here is the part number for it: TS3005DB
You could just buy the chip and get this board to evaluate it. http://www.schmartboard.com/index.asp?page=products_smttodip&id=552
And some pictures for the screens I have tested along with @peekay123 custom font library which is pretty sweet. I’m going to be putting this to good use really soon.
