RE: Anyone know anything about Fujitsu LCD Screens ?

[<mrf@xxxxxxx>]

WOW !

I must admit, I was not expecting to get so much fantastic information !

Yes, the item on that website is what I have here, but obviously only the
screen. I bought the item from a guy who was selling it on ebay. I was
planning on using it for a HAPC project, but I am getting the feeling that
I
am well out of my league here.

So, I can buy a new video card with a DVI connector, and was looking at
something like this:
http://www.computergate.com/products/item.cfm?prodcd=AVGBTI2DVI
<http://www.computergate.com/products/item.cfm?prodcd=AVGBTI2DVI>
.

And from looking at that website you provided, the cable, part no.
S4117.5303 would do the job ?

So that only leaves the power supply problem. Now, I'm a novice at this
sort
of thing, so forgive me for the stupid questions, but how do I go about
finding a compatible power supply ?

Really appreciate your help.

Kind Regards

Marc R. Fuller

Marc,

A mate has one of these although he's not tried to get it working yet. It's
>from
one of these ?

There's a Fujitsu site with miscellaneous drivers here (incl. the
touch-screen driver).
http://www.ftxs.fujitsu.com/fujitsutemp.asp?navid=47
<http://www.ftxs.fujitsu.com/fujitsutemp.asp?navid=47>

We haven't found a PSU yet and we suspect the 5V is only for the
touch-screen interface (serial). The 12V would be for the screen-proper.
Holidays and work pressures have stopped us getting much further. Should be
possible to lash something up though.

The screen signal connection is a "DFP" connector (DFP = Digital
Flat Panel)
and is an early version of the DVI monitor interfaces. The screen is fully
digital, so you can't make up your own connector and run it from a standard
VGA port, although it is compatible with one of the current DVI standards.
You can see the different types of plug / interfaces here:

There's also some descriptions of what works with what.


Just out of interest, where did you get it, . . . and do they have any more
??
