7" touch screen Display RGB type interfacing to RPi compute module.

[MD_SHAHRUKH]

Hello community,
I hope you all are doing well.

My question is, I am making one board which contain one Raspberry Pi compute module 3, for the display purpose I have two options, one is HDMI and another MIPI interfaces. For the display part I am looking for a 7" capacitive type touch display. But the key thing is that I want to stick the LCD over the PCB board I am making, jut like any display unit available in the market.
For some generic LCD I got one click here. The display is RGB type interface. So,

1. Can I interface RGB type LCD to Rpi - (which I have searched many places but not getting satisfactory answer)
2. Is there any converter available to convert RGB to either MIPI or HDMI interfaces?
3. As I shared the link of display click here is there any similar kind of displays available with MIPI interface? I mean FRC connector type without PCB?

Thank you.

Hi,

1) I did search for "raspberry RGB jnterface". Many hits. Direct usage of GPIO pins. Also called "DPI"
2) Are you sure about "RGB to MIPI"? I think you rather need "MIPI to RGB".

There can be an issue if we use "DPI" method for RGB interface, as there is one SPI peripheral available in the board for which might get effected if I use "DPI".

Link which I followed.

Another thing is I found two ICs SN65DSI83 and SN65LVDS822 to interface from Rpi to the display.

Can you suggest me if it is okay?

why you don't prefer all inclusive lcd panels with hdmi back pack.
Have a look.
Good luck.

I think the touch LCD module may be a good choice, I remember the Raspberry Pi seems to have a capacitive screen.

The TFT LCD module that I use is also connectable to the Raspberry Pi, through UART.
