#159787 - How do you drive a RGB color LCD display?
I've been playing with a 320x240 color LCD display with a microprocessor interface with on-board display RAM and it was relatively easy to get it up and running driving it with a P89V51RD2 as a dedicated graphics "server". This particular display was not "sunlight viewable" so I'm switching to a Sharp model LQ035Q7DH06 sunlight viewable 320x240 RGB LCD display.

The problem is that this display has no onboard RAM and requires vertical and horizontal synch pulses, a "dotclock" and 6 bit wide RGB data for each of the three colors very fast (6Mhz or so).

I have trawled the internet and asked various graphics color LCD vendors for schematics or the names of chip(s) to use to create these signals but it seems to be a closely guarded secret.

I have no idea how to create these signals or what chip(s) to use and wonder if anyone can steer me into the right direction.

Regards,

Bert

            buy an evaluation board            01/01/70 00:00      
               a quick peek into the code library            01/01/70 00:00
