Hey folks,
I'm contemplating a project for which I would need a range of displays. Preferably, I'd like to make the infterface so that it would work with the same interface/connectors/power for anything from, say, 5" to about 10-11".
I was thinking about single channel LVDS because it's easy and I know it well. I'll be interfacing with an FPGA and I don't want any higher level stuff that needs or likes a uC (like MIPI or whatever). KISS, you know. I'd rather have an RGB interface than MIPI or whatever.
I don't need Retina-like resolutions, but I wouldn't mind if the same display size would have different resolutions available (say a 7" screen with 800x600 and 640*480 or something) so scaling might be a bit more straighforward depending on the application. Doesn't have to be super bright, doesnt have to be super fast, doesn't have to be super-awesome viewing angles, insanely low power requirements,.. "Good" is good enough for me.
I'd rather not go through far-east vendors or channels (Ali, DX, ...), I'd prefer direct sales through a manufucaturer or a decent distributor in the EU. In other words: I want to be able to order the exact same display next year and not receive whatever they have on tap at that moment. Batch sizes would be small (5-10 pieces at time, with 2-3 proto batches).
Soo.. I was hoping some of you could offer some experiences, suggestions, do's, don'ts, pointers,... No need to repeat your mistakes
