Lcd!!!

At first glance that cable looks like a double row, 0.3mm FPC connector (as has been said before), however 75 way isn't a common number of connections.

Has anyone had any joy coming up with a solution yet? It may be possible to extend it using a 90 way cable but it would need to be cut incredibly accurately to fit in the connector.

hmm wonder when such an item will come out for sale at a good price.

[elstcb]

I've seen them going for about $160 USD but that could have been without a driver board, they're also for sale here for 309 Euros. I'm hoping that once the FPC cable issue is sorted out that ywh/18wheeler may be able to get hold of them at a good price.

ywh - What is the other end of the cable like? I take it that it's directly soldered / fixed to the other board? From your pictures it's a lot wider and therefore maybe easier to work with however there's not enough res to see what's going on properly.

Also wondering if the driver board you were looking at would also drive the NL6448AC20-06, I can get one of these screens in the UK for about the equivalent of $10 which would be great for experimenting with (both lead extensions and case design).

$160 USD is definitely cheap if IT IS NL10276BC12-02 !!
It has always been $250 (lcd only) everywhere i checked.i could recall the NL10276BC12-01 being cheaper.

i had mine last time for US$315 (...BC12-02) including controller with TV tuner.Since there were no solution for the FPC cabling for PJ purposes, i gave to my lil sis for her use in her car.

Yeah the 01 was a nice screen as well, just lacked a bit of contrast from what I remember when compared to the 02.

I'm currently under the impression that the university that I'm doing my doctorate at has the capability to manufacture custom FFC/FPC cables although I haven't confirmed how easy it is to get them to do this or how much it will cost. I'm also not sure if they could do double row or not.

I'm tempted to buy an NL6448AC20-06 panel to try, assuming I can use the same driver board (and I have no idea if I can or not). I don't suppose you know what controller card your 01 had do you? TV inputs would be an added bonus...

[Irwin AR]

Do you know what are the price like for the NL6448AC20-06.

I could try and check the prices for the LCD+controller&TV combo locally but if it appears to be offstock then price would be
a tad higher to reorder.Controller&TV usually priced at US$70 but offcourse they normally insist on us buying the whole setup (with LCD) after the extra work programming those controller unit.

Another option for high res LCD i'm considering (if FPC is workable) would be the MITSUBISHI AA084XA03 a.k.a OPTREX T-51639D084JU-FW-A-AB in the U.S.

Yes a lil bigger at 8.4" but it holds all the promising specs similar/better than the NEC unit.

8.4" XGA full 16.7m color
Contrast 500:1
Brightness : 300cd
Response time : tr(6) + tf(19) ~25ms

a group buy may helps make it affordable for all.

OK a thought to just throw out there...........Attached is a masterpiece of an Artists rendition of what IM thinking :-) OK why not cut the flex cable ( Yikes) find the pitch of each of the "2" sets of contacts. Then use the appropriate FFC's(assuming some will work) and Clamp them Onto Edges of the FFC that have been sanded off........one above the other one on both sides of the FFC. Still sounds like a SOB to do But perhaps less work then hand soldering...........Any thoughts?????

DO you have a link ?
any idea how much they cost without a group buy (so as to give an indication of what we could get them down to with a group buy)
