This LCD panel could be a milestone for DIY projector ppl, if it's easy to strip.

I assume, its native resolution is 640x480 at least. But it might be 800x600, who knows... 🙂

If you live in USA, Europe or Far Eastern, you can easily find it in tech stores imo. I thought it' s a prevalent product.

The bad thing is; I only have a photo about it, so I don' t know about its producer. I seen it at Tbreak.com, and I have not sent an e-mail to those guys. But you could send, if you want to achieve more information about it. 🙂

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Judging by an old eBay listing the manufacturer is SHINON. Not sure where u found that it was widely sold in the US and other areas. A search on froogle for the model (sh-m505) or the manufacturer turns up no lcd listings..

sorry to bother

I used similar in sept and oct 2003, they are fairly decent
I had the Pyramid model but there were so many different names available originating from the same manufacturer it could be any source.
I bought them on ebay for $55.00 plus $8 for shipping..

Believe or not, I was just thinking about you (but I'm not gay : p). :angel: As far as I remember, we have already discussed about these panels in a quite old topic. 😀

I just remember that. 🙂

BTW, what were the native resolutions, and response times of them, Uvodee ?

I think I can say "you were really lucky!". 🙂 Because these kind of high-res panels to be sold very rarely.

yeah!!!

res is 640 by 480

refresh rate = pretty decent =< 16 msec

colorpalette more than sufficient for any viewing!

I did sell all (3) to relatives and family, I must still have some pics
I'll try to find them...
I used a toystorage from IKEA as enclosure ($10.00 on sale!!)

issues with cable

If i remember well, they call them flexcable

I found a supplier (molex) who would send the requested flex for free (they don't start invoicing for l;ess than 500 or so... otherwise costs do not balance revenue..)

i am still looking for that canadian store online....
