LCD panels

[Rekr]

Anyone ever seen this before, i picked it up for 10 bucks off ebay, might be some good, can't find any info on it though. It was listed as a NVIEW NEO Systems MDI2308 Multi-Display Interface

Bottom left is RGB computer input.

Mid right is TTL LCD out.

Bottom right is keypad. Possibly on screen display.

Top right some other connectors no idea what.

Check chip numbers on google might help what they do.

I would guess its an LCD controller.

Top right looks like power in for the controller (4 pin) and the 2 pin connector looks to be power for the backlight invertor.

Thanks for the info, when it arrives, I will take a closer look at the chip numbers and google it.

Hi all,
I love coming back to posts after a while of neglect and seeing how well they have progressed. You all seem to be leaving the DIY realm and making professional passing projects too!
In the next few months, after I save up the cash, I'm going to finally build my own entertainment unit (ie. my diy projector-pc setup). Just wondering though, has anyone using this method (laptop panel/controll) posted up their results with pics? And whats the quality like compared to a retail projector?
Any panel-controller combination recomendations? Any better (performance and price wise) routes?
I want a target resolution of around 1024x768 w/ 32-bit colour.

I'll be asking more technical questions as time progresses.

Thanks alot all for providing what you have.

here is another one from ebay

this seems clearly an lcd controller, specs are found when following the link further down the screen.....
still about 50 pct of the sales price.

I read through some of this thread, like 10 pages but still didn't figure out if some one had put together a cheap pc to laptop screen converter, and how much did it cost

[zardoz]

I'm waiting for my shipment of 2 new screens to try on my controller. I have a 12 inch LG LVDS screen coming as well as a Hitachi 14.1 LVDS . Finally I'll get to see the differance between a low grade TTL panel and a mid range LVDS.

I'm expecting good things!

Look in the SBC-675 thread.
I have orderd a few of this Aaeon Boards.
They have a flat panel connector on board.

Nexcom, Aaeon, Jumptec , Advantech.
All the same, expensive industrial boards if you get them "new"

I'm developing with such boards as "basis" for
our company. So , I knew the prices.
Also for the addons.

As i see that i can get a cheap Aaeon fullsize board in the "Pentium Class" boards on Ebay i was so happy that i odered direct a few. (unfortunately a few too much).

Forget to route some wires yourself.
It's a differntial signal transmission which transmitts
Pixel Data from Mhz to Gigabits. (hard stuff)

You cannot wheaponed with a soldering iron only,
do such a stuff without getting EMV EMI problems in your
neighboor hood. You need a 4 layer pcb as quoted in the
design notes of this chips (Texas, National, Thine)

If you are a pcb designer with high speed design knowledge
do it. When not , forget about it to do it yourself.

But you can add easilly sound with some wires
at the ISA slot. That's not a problem.
Think about what is easier and cheaper to do.

Perharps you find some ready to fit LVDS transmitter
which you have only to fit in cheap in such a board.

Look for TDMS, LVDS Transmitter modules.
Most XGA displays from 13.3" up have the LVDS receivers included. So you need only the transmitter module.
Pay attention that the module can handle 18 and/or 24 bit colors.

If you have a 14 or 20 pin connector you have an LVDS display.
14 pin = 18 bit (262k colors)
20 pin = 18 / 24 bit (262k or 16.7 Mio colors)
