Thread: "Transflective" LCD panel with res touch+controler for $101+$36 S+H

Any updates to the Double-Din? I'd really like to know a price.
if it's too expensive, i'll just get a by-byte frame and Derrick's open frame LCD package.

I was thinking that if anyone could do it, it would be 8838.com.

We've all seen the Dual View (or Split View) LCD screens in vehicles like the Range Rover where the driver and passenger see two different images. I think the panels are made by Sharp. So, 8838, what do you think?

Derrick,

My screen is having issues. When I turn it on the screen just comes on white- very bright. If I try to use the buttons to bring the OSD I dont see anything. If I plug in a video source the screen stays on but only very bright white. I have checked all the ribbons on the lcd and I dont see any visual tears. The largest ribbon in the middle is what shows passes the actual video correct? Is there somewhere on the board I should look for damage? Is there something else I should do?

you need to check largest ribbon. White screen shows when its not connected good. So its lose connection, or you connected it upside down, or you broke the ribbon like I did. If its connected right, you can try to move it slow and see if you can get picture when you move it.


@Derrick: Can you find some one to make tutorial how to setup touchscreen on debian? How to install drivers if you have drivers for debian?

I figured it out. Any time the thick ribbon cable from the monitor touches the controller board the video shorts out. If the lcd touches the controller board, the video shorts out. Is this normal? Should the controller board not touch anything else?

Yes. I am using Mimo's frame only.
Actually I am generally pleased with the screen.(not the short vga cable though!)
I can read 14 point type on the screen in sunlight. Not easy though but as it should be.

It's so cool to see the progress with each update and that you're asking the users for their opinions. Every company should do that, then people would me sooo much more satisfied with their products. I prefer waiting for something to get nearly perfect to buying something that I'm not satisfied with! Really looking forward for the final case so I can start my car pc build!

Thanks for supporting! if you have any suggestion, we are here to hear

Sorry for the delay, still waiting for the factory

won`t be expensive, but I don`t have estimate yet.
