Serial Display Shield for Arduino
What is it?
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.
Features
- 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
Applications
- VR googles (Oculus & alike)
- home-made projectors
- graphics card for small microcontrollers
Project status
- 19/12/2013: Schematics & PCB done, still need to check
- 17/12/2013: Initial version of the firmware, works with Iphone4/4s screens
