library serdisplib:
description
serdisplib started as a library to drive serial displays with built-in controllers.
beginning with version 1.95 support was added for parallel driven displays. anyhow: the name 'serdisplib' will not change.
at the beginning it was only planned to add support for optrex 323 displays using some patches to graphlcd, but soon i decided to create a separate
library which can be used independently.
an interface-module and some patches are now the glue between graphlcd and the library.
the serial in "serial display" characterises the way of how the data is transferred to the display controller: data is sent bit by bit using a single input line.
several (few) other lines are controlling things like timing (clock), data or command, ...
parallel driven displays transfer data using a data-bus (eg. 4, 8, 16-bit wide data-bus) and some signal wires.
version 1.97 introduces support for an USB driven display, version 1.97.6 introduces support for OLED displays

additional displays supported: ericsson t2x displays (i2c)
web pages updated and enhanced
2004-05-28 replaced 'history'-section on this page through 'news'. i think this reflects better what this section is for: a global info-section reflecting the progress of the
library and all sub-pages (hardware, contributions, a.s.o.)
new images on contribution page
work goes on for version 1.93. it will contain support for i2c-displays (at least for ericsson t2x displays). because of planned support for accessing the i2c-
displays through serial port also, a little API change will be necessary.
2004-04-05 new categorie: contributions. contains (or will contain) hardware implementations and additional software by other people
2004-03-22 new hardware page: nokia 7110 displays and generic sed1565-based displays
enhancement of other hardware pages
2004-03-22 new serdisplib version: v1.92. additional display/controller supported: nokia7110/sed1565
fixed some severe html typos in navigation bar
2004-03-18 it seems that all nokia 51XX are using the same display -> replaced 5110 through 51XX in navigation bar (proven to be wrong)
2004-03-17 enhanced navigation bar (now all supported controllers / displays (including nokia model name) are shown)
2004-01-13 first alpha release
