The shield lets you drive any LCD panel with a DSI interface. DSI is used in almost every recent smartphone (that is less than ~4 years) to connect the LCD panel to the host processor. The displays are dirt cheap and offer fantastic resolutions and image quality.

• should work with any DSI display up to 1920x1080p
• built-in frame buffer & simple rasterizer with basic graphics primitives
• HDMI input up to 720p (basic version) or 1080p (with external receiver chip)
• simple host interface for drawing commands: SPI or parallel 8-bit

• VR googles (Oculus & alike)
• home-made projectors
• graphics card for small microcontrollers
