Dear EDABoard members.

I have been searching the internet for a while looking for a display solution to connect to an MCU but with bigger sizes than 7".
I have previously done LCD/TFT projects using the SSD1963 controller chip from Solomon to drive a 7" display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels.
Though now my requirement in size (NOT NECESSARILY RESOLUTION) have become bigger, so I have been trying hard to find another solution.

I have been working with the following solution ideas but I would like you to comment on them or even come up with other options.
  • Get a larger display, 10"-14", but with the same resolution, 800x480, so it would be possible to drive it with the SSD1963
  • Find another display controller capable of driving the standard 10"-14" displays with resolutions around 1024x768
  • Find a larger display with integrated display controller or with a supported display controller module next to it
  • Make our own controller chip using an FPGA and some SRAM for driving the LCD lines directly

What do you think? Please come up with other ideas if possible :)

Thank you in advance.


Best Regards
Thomas Jespersen
 

I would do it with an FPGA and an SDRAM. Not trivial but simple enough and using cheap components that will be available for a long time.
