What a deal on a secondary lcd display!!!

From the PDF datasheet, it appears you need to provide the inverter powere supply for the backlight, along with the expected 12 volt power, and video signal.

I was planning on incorporating one of these (or something similar) into the surface of the control panel.  That way, you just look down and you can see what the controls are.  I had some other features I wanted to use it for too.

yes, it seems you do.

And to me, that is just way too much hacking when compared to taking the case off of a PS1 LCD.  If it came with a composite input, then it'd be a different story.

Just my .02

Circo:

12 volt power. no prob have that kind of stuff all over.  And it has the terminals for composite video already, how hard is that?  Although at first glance I did think it had a hookup.  But for the price I still think this will be perfect.  Or It could turn out to be a huge pain, won't know till thurs.  ;D

Let us know how it works out.

I'm not really saying it is "hard" as much as it's just hardER than taking apart a PS1 LCD that you mentioned in your first post.  Then again, aren't most of the PS1 LCDs a bit smaller than this one??

Either way, be sure to let us know how it works for you.  It seems like a good deal even if you do have to do some work to get it running.
