Re: 1.8 inch LCD moniter

That's a neat little unit but I do not think it's suitable for HMD or at
least not for something
discretely mounted infront of your eyes. For the wrist I think it would be
ideal, combined
with some small keyboard :)

Perhaps there's a way to take the unit out of that case and what not but
still the PCB could
be as big as the actual case so you will have to seperate one from the
other. But then you are
running into a problem that it's a TFT screen and not LCoS display so the
cable length
between the driver and the display cannot be too long etc.

Resolution, I'm guessing 800x225 or something like that, not really what
you'd hope for
when it comes to VGA, think if you run at 640x480 there's quite a few
vertical lines lost.
If they would supply the exact model number for the display you can find out
exactly
how many pixels it has, how it's driven and whether you can use it outside
its intended
field of application.
