In the Maker Shed: Pixel Qi Display


The Pixel Qi screen from the Maker Shed is a revolutionary plug-and-play LCD display technology for your netbook. This one-of-a-kind 10.1-inch display offers two modes, an easy-to-read multimedia color mode, or a crisp low power e-reader mode. The e-reader mode has 3 times the resolution of the fully saturated color mode, allowing for a high resolution reading experience without sacrifice to super color fidelity for graphics. Upgrade your current display for incredible battery life, and the ability to use your netbook outside in full sunlight.

    I don’t suppose there are any plans to offer a module so that this can be driven by any arbitrary VGA or DVI source?

    I’d love to combine this with a BeagleBoard or a micro ITX to make my dream tablet.

    1. David says:

      you can purchase something like the RM3451 controller off of ebay for around $35USD if you want to drive it from DVI or VGA.

      in addition, you can drive the Pixel Qi with a SN75LVDS83B connected to a BeagleBoard or PandaBoard parallel LCD expansion header.
