Connecting LCD to VGA port

laptop lcd to vga interface

I have an old laptop which i've removed the LCD screen from it and its still working.
i wanna know if there is a way i can connect it to the VGA adapter of my desktop computer, is it like ordinary CRT moniters, i.e it uses RGB interface?
i hope that anybody could help me.
regards...

no.

LVDS is the interface of most notebook's lcd, so u may need to buy a lcd control board with LVDS, or do it yourself^_^|||

yeah it's pretty wicked. i got a sweet XGA panel of 1024x768 for about 10 bucks. i finally shelved it, but i can give you a description of why.

panel used pixel clock of 65MHz, not too scary but it needs a good pcb, no perfboard here!

for each pixel, i had to send RGB, 6-bits each. My panel used 3 lvds lines driven by a chip such as national DS90CF363. Load it with three bytes at 65MHZ, and it xmit's LVDS at 455Mbps. You have to strobe HSYNC and VSYNC manually, but only once per frame, and line respectively.

i would have needed a XGA controller IC like the ones made by chips & technology, but it was about this point that I realized I was building a video card including fast VDRAM and a 75MHz processor.

all i wanted was a digital picture frame! the cost and development time would have been immense, so i punked out. i wish you luck if you decide to drive this guy, it's definately a non-trivial task.

if you want any details of my experiments, i'll be gald to help.

one note: if your panel does not need LVDS, but rather RGB parallel data, you are in good shape. you "may" be able to drive this without significant trouble, if you happen to be interested in VGA programming. i think it's doable, but i was not able to do it. nor was i able to find any DIY references of anyone who could.

laptop how to vga port suppress the laptop lcd

I got the same idea as XTC. My LCD screen is :
QUANTA display QD141X1LH03
Where can I get its datasheet ? or at least its interface?
Could anyone post it ?

Sorry, but I cannot access this web site, I got "site not found" several times ...
Can you print it in a pdf doc and post-it to me.
Gracias!

Anyway, as the author of that article I'd just like to point out that although it works (with older VGA TFT panels), it's not going to give you any kind of good picture quality. It's more of a "fun to do because everyone keeps saying you can't" kind of thing
