Display Drivers

This is an overview of common driver chips supported by the Pytorinox library.

When shopping for a new display you can save yourself a lot of headache by selecting one with a well supported driver chip.

The driver chip used should be part of the display’s documentation and is often printed on the circuit board.

The Pytorinox library offers two kinds of support.
