LCD Tear Down

Posted by Sean in Multi Touch, Tech Stuff

Well I got started on my MT project today.  This first step I had to take was to find out if my LCD from my notebook had any FFC issues and it seems that everything is good on that front.  I also had to find out if there is a compatible controller card from my LCD.  Since it is originally a laptop display it needs to be converted into a desktop display for MT applications.  I’m still waiting on that information but a thread at the afterdawn forum was very helpful in my initial research on the conversion.  The reason this step is so important is because it will ultimately decide if this project continues with the materials I have and also the design of my NUI all together.

The LCD is a 15.4″ display and came out of a Gateway MX7120 notebook.  Here are some pictures of the tear down:

Please excuses the low quality photos.  These were taken with a camera phone as my wife has our good camera at work.
