tft display repurpose pricelist

Funnily enough, the amount of contributors actually isn"t relevant to chances of a project winning anything in Hackaday Prize, most projects I"ve seen win are one-man efforts. I"ve participated in previous Hackaday Prize challenges, and I"m pretty realistic about it - I"ve submitted this project to Hackaday Prize "displays" round, but nothing I do here is really "in the spirit" of projects that change the world, are commercializable easily or could benefit from a Design Lab residence. This page, realistically, has 0 chances of getting anywhere further than this round"s final (which is a $500 prize), and even this chance is pretty slim, considering that, IIRC last time I checked, there"s already 10 decent applications.

To put it explicitly, I"m treating this HaD prize round as more of "deadline for me to dump my brain and do as much research on laptop display stuff as possible + unlikely but plausible monetary reward for me to fund my crippling addiction to reusing laptop parts". Plus, there"s the "positive coverage" part of that, which I"ve learned to be one of the most important parts - actually letting people know that this is a thing will seriously impact usefulness of what I make. After over a year of working with laptop displays specifically (and multiple years of hoping I get to do that someday), I can"t help but feel like - now I owe it to people to tell every single thing I"ve learned. And, to be as frank and transparent as possible, the main competition here is between my lack of ability to finish projects I start and my desire to share what I"ve learned, as well as the desired ego boost of "I am doing a thing that people do really need" =)

One thing I do hope to be able to do, however, is eventually selling "making your display work" kits on Tindie which would cover usecases that Chinese sellers don"t cover. For instance, eDP displays from laptops can easily be adapted to full-size DisplayPort with a small PCB that"d connect to commonly available eDP-FPC cables with standardized pinout, providing both a DisplayPort input and a small circuit generating EN+ADJ signals for the panel"s builtin LED driver. Nobody is currently making these boards, but there"s a market for them, and I will be making them. And I"ll be linking to product pages for these boards from this project page, for sure - but that"s not the end goal, it"s merely "I can do this and it nets some extra income to fund my research" thing, especially given these boards will certainly be OSHW.

※Price Increase NotificationThe TFT glass cell makers such as Tianma,Hanstar,BOE,Innolux has reduced or stopped the production of small and medium-sized tft glass cell from August-2020 due to the low profit and focus on the size of LCD TV,Tablet PC and Smart Phone .It results the glass cell price in the market is extremely high,and the same situation happens in IC industry.We deeply regret that rapidly rising costs for glass cell and controller IC necessitate our raising the price of tft display.We have made every attempt to avoid the increase, we could accept no profit from the beginning,but the price is going up frequently ,we"re now losing a lot of money. We have no choice if we want to survive. There is no certain answer for when the price would go back to the normal.We guess it will take at least 6 months until these glass cell and semiconductor manufacturing companies recover the production schedule.

ER-TFTV043A3-3 is 480x272 pixel 4.3 inch color tft lcd display for the Raspberry Pi with optional USB port resistive or capacitive touch panel screen,optional USB cable and HDMI cable. Of course ,it is not limited to the Raspberry Pi ,it can be used for all the universal HDMI port hardwares such as mini PCs, Raspberry Pi, BB Black, Banana Pi, as well as general desktop computers.

The 3.5 "display module for easy adaptability and flexibility of library had long been a reliable basis for tender color.16-bit color TFT screen and 3.5 "in size. It works as a touch screen to incorporate a capacitive sensor, which allows us to control it by touching with the finger directly on it and has a resolution of 480 × 320 pixels, relatively high for its size. Uses the ILI9481 driver.
