What are Control Boards?
Control boards are electronic circuit boards generally designed to manage the operation of a specific piece of hardware or system, process signals, and execute commands. They can feature various input and output ports and communicate via different protocols.
What is it used for?
Control boards have a wide range of applications, from supporting various monitor signal inputs (VGA, HDMI, DVI) to managing touch screen sensitivity. Additionally, they can be preferred for increasing the display capacity of computers by offering external graphics card solutions. They are used in many fields, from industrial applications to personal projects.
How to choose?
When selecting a control board, it is first important to determine the type of hardware you will use and your connectivity needs. While supported resolution and input ports (HDMI, VGA, DVI) are critical for monitor control boards, screen size, touch technology (capacitive), and connection type (USB) must be considered for touch control boards. Your project requirements and compatibility play a key role in choosing the right board.
What to consider?
When purchasing a control board, the product's maximum supported resolution, connection interfaces, power requirements, and compatibility list must be carefully reviewed. Especially for touch control boards, it is essential to ensure that the board is compatible with the screen's inch size and touch technology (e.g., 5-wire capacitive). Additionally, the brand and chipset of the board (such as EETI or ILITEK) can vary in terms of performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do DisplayLink USB monitor controller boards do?▾
DisplayLink USB Monitor Control Cards are external graphics card solutions that allow you to connect additional monitors to your computer via a USB port. They are ideal for multi-display setups.
What is an eDP Monitor Control Board?▾
The eDP Monitor Control Board is a device that enables the external use of displays utilizing the eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) interface, such as laptop panels, by converting them to standard inputs like VGA and HDMI.
What is the difference between EETI and ILITEK touch controller boards?▾
EETI and ILITEK are different brands that manufacture touch controller boards. Both generally offer solutions for 5-wire capacitive touch screens, but the ICs (integrated circuits) used and certain performance specifications may differ. It may be helpful to check the IC model specified in the product descriptions.
Which inputs do monitor control boards support?▾
Depending on the specific product, monitor control boards generally support common video inputs such as VGA, HDMI, and DVI. Some boards may also include older or more specific inputs.
What does a 5-wire capacitive touch control board mean?▾
A 5-wire capacitive touch control board indicates that the touch screen reads touch data through 5 different connection points. This generally provides a more accurate and sensitive touch experience.
Which screen sizes do ObeyTouch control boards support?▾
ObeyTouch control boards can support different screen sizes depending on the product model. The listed products include capacitive touch control boards for various sizes, such as 18.5'' and 32''.
