The dark object of my desire
This is my first (working) graphic LCD. After having spent enough time with the plain character brethren, I decided to go for a graphic one. Of course, I wanted the biggest I could get my hands on. Or thought I could, anyway. I was trying for quite some time to find one, to no avail. Finally, I gave up and asked my supervisor at the University, who immediately hooked me up with a supplier, and turned it into a project. Not bad a development, actually, since, I had already done almost all the work necessary for a grade-10 project!
Some technical details included in the next paragraph; should you have any trouble understanding anything there, no, it's not you! This paragraph is for the somewhat technically inclined and thus, skipabble!
The module itself is a Powertip, 320x240 pixels, driven by an integrated SED-1335 controller. Negative voltage and temperature compensation circuits included. White LED array backlit.
Here are some pictures of my graphic 320x240 LCD. Quite nice, actually; a lot of work to get it running, at the time!
The LED array and switches you see on the stand is basically a break-out of the computer power and reset switches, power LED and the 10-LED array is driven by an HDD activity LED bar-graph circuit I devised. It looks nice!
The quality of the pictures, however, isn't exactly top-notch, since my digital camera of the time was rather... basic (read: pathetic).
