2D Virtual Laboratory for Teaching BCD to Seven-Segment Decoders in Logic Design Classes

Optics in action: an overview of the advancements in information display education

“…The presented papers bring various improvements to the lab designs. These include remote packages [1], hands-on fabrication of actual displays [2,3], detailed laboratory testing of LCDs [4], and display addressing focused labs [5].…”

“…For the LCD labs, every paper proposed an educational approach [1][2][3][4][5]. [1][2][3] used an Arduino microcontroller to individually address the pins of the displays and the waveforms and refresh rates were generated on the software end.…”

“…In this work, a more rigorous microcontroller implementation was realized, with students needing to read and write to and from registers to generate the correct clock frequencies and output segments. [5] focused heavily on seven-segment addressing. While their particular application used an LED display, the same technology could be used in LCDs as well.…”

“…The main works that will be discussed are shown in [1][2][3][4][5]. While each paper presents a slightly different approach, the overall areas of focus are in: display fundamentals (color, addressing, refresh rates, etc.)…”

“…While each paper presents a slightly different approach, the overall areas of focus are in: display fundamentals (color, addressing, refresh rates, etc.) [1][2][3], hands-on teaching labs [2,3], remote teaching labs [1], liquid crystal displays (LCDs) [1][2][3][4], and light emitting diode (LED) technologies such as OLED and microLED [1][2][3]5].…”
