LED/OLED Driver Reference Design Using the GM1WA55311A LED Device

LED/OLED Driver Reference Design is targeted for a LED controller to drive a GM1WA55311A LED device from Sharp Electronics. A typical application of this design includes the interface between a WISHBONE-compliant, on-board microcontroller and a LED device. This design can also be used as a reference to control other LEDs or OLEDs for similar functions. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source mainly used in signaling and lighting applications. A LED consists of anode and cathode nodes. When current is applied in a forward direction, the LED emits light. The Organic LED (OLED) is the latest development in the field of LED technology. It is a special type of LED which has a layer of organic compound. The advantage of the LED is its efficiency. It occupies a small area, consumes less power and lasts for a long duration
