Logic Voltage

The driver ICs and other circuits on Kyocera LCDs require a logic voltage. Newer LCDs are specified for 3.3V ± 0.3V. Some older STN LCDs are specified for 5.0V ± 5%. Any Kyocera STN LCD specified for 3.3V logic will run OK at 5.0V. The reverse is not necessarily true. If you want to use an 5.0V STN LCD at 3.3V logic voltage, please check with Kyocera. It may be permissible. It is not permissible with the KCS057 and KHS057 lines of 5.7 inch LCDs, which must run at the specified 5.0V.

The above is not true of TFT LCDs. A 3.3V TFT LCD will not run at 5.0V unless the spec explicitly allows 5.0V. The TCG057, TCG062 and TCG075 do not specify 5.0V. The TCG104 does allow 5.0V

The STN LCDs KHS072VG1AB-G00 and KCG057QV1DB-G50 are actually specified for both voltages. Close examination of sections 5 and 11 of these specs shows the effect of changing the logic voltage. At 5.0 volts, switching speed is faster, which allows a higher maximum data clock speed. A higher clock speed enables a faster frame rate, which means better quality of intermediate colors, although power consumption increases slightly.
