I received my tracking number for the panel and I should have it on Friday. I ordered the LVDS-07G from Mini-Box and the inverter from Future Electronics. These parts will arrive early next week.

The NEC LCD specification lists the connector types for the panel. The last item to complete the display integration is the LVDS cable. Giuliano identified the connector types on the LVDS-07G in this post: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/981023-post36.html. Nice work.

I guess I need to decide where I’m going to put my car PC in order to size the interface cable. This cable assembly will contain the LVDS signals, 3V panel supply, 5V inverter supply, and probably the touchscreen signals. I see that MCT can assemble long, custom LVDS cable assemblies. See review here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/1052877-post1.html

It feels good to finally have the display components selected and ordered. Hopefully, I can resume a normal sleep schedule. You don't want to know how much sleep I am averaging a night.

Next I need to select the touchscreen. I will continue to track that effort in the Input Devices forum.
