Thread: Datalux displays (putting all our info in one place!)

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I put my touchscreen housing in the freezer last night as advised by allenrubble and when I went to push it out today. It started coming out great, but when I went to push out the third corner. SMASH. It spiderweb-cracked all over.

UPDATE: I had a 2nd touchscreen here so I successfully removed that one from its housing, with no freezer or anything so apparently putting them in the freezer dosen't help much if at all.

UPDATE 2: The 2nd touchscreen here does not have little white dots all over it and when I looked at the controller that came with it, it's got a capacitive jumper configuration? Is there any way to tell if this screen is capacitive for sure? Because if it is.....DEAR GOD...anyone see that new movie SIGNS?

UPDATE 3: The new touchscreen does not have the brightness and contrast controls on the outside as the broken one does. It appears I won't be able to easily adjust the contrast of the screen...only the brightness using ia pot with my backlight inverter.

UPDATE 4: For all of you who ever decide to call Datalux, Jon Christian always seemed like a nice helpful guy until today when he told me if I put a smaller voltage over a load, it will compensate by sending higher current. Hmm...that seems to obey current = voltage/load real well I think. So I will no longer be taking any advice from him, and instead i'll be talking to Ron Kincer or Allen Ruble.

i was wondering if anyone knows what the difference is between the rev c and the rev e controllers. i know that they are both for 5v screens, but what other differences are there?

Someone has offered me a Rev C, but I am not sure what could be different between the two.

Please enlighten me, as there does not seem to be any mention of rev c boards anywhere!

Also, how much should i be paying for a rev c?

Thanks to Trottingwolf I have some new info to post here. According to Trottingwolf modern 3.3v display cards *can* be made to work with the 5v Datalux TFT drivers. The way to do it is to simply use a 5v logic chip (he used a hex inverter, I used a quad AND), using the HSYNC and VSYNC as inputs it will provide 5v outputs. I have tried this MOD myself and it does work. For the *Exact* details, here's his thread->

Mod for DATALUX LMV10R and 3.3v Sync

Hi!, I tried that MOD too and worked perfect for 3.3 and or 5volt controller card.

Does anybody knows if the 10.4 Datalux resolution can be change?

640x480 to 800x600

Hmm, interesting stuff here. I'm looking at getting a cheap LMV10R and I suppose (based on what I'm reading) probably gutting it and upgrading it. Does anybody know if it works to replace the backlight with a brighter one and get a better screen brightness?

I want to get the most brightness I can out of my screen, I suspect I'll need to replace the inverter board. Does anyone have a compatible part number for the 10.4 inch Datalux displays?

it seems others are asking datalux questions here so i guess this isint a info only thread.

can anyone identify these datalux displays and connectors so i can get some more info?:
