What is the "Capacitive touch sensor" and the "LCD interface"

[JustNopIt]

I read that the ESP-32 will have a "Capacitive touch sensor" and an "LCD interaface". What exactly is meant by that?
Could I solder an old cellphone touch screen directly to it, without SPI or i2c?

Touch sensor is for buttons like you see on a microwave keypad. LCD interface could be through SPI or maybe HS1 8-bit interface.

WiiFive is right about the capacitive touch screen display. The LCD interface is basically an 8, 16 or 24-bit parallel interface connected to DMA that makes it very fast to upload data to parrallel LCDs or other peripherals. (It's actually part of one of the I2S ports.)

Ah, look forward to reading about that soon in an update to the technical reference manual.
