ags 101 lcd screen manufacturer

No, you can’t control the brightness with this mod. But I will try to create the IPS mod guide soon (hopefully next week)! With the IPS screen mod, you can control the brightness. But… you need to solder 3 wires. One on the TP2, and the other 2 cables for R and L buttons. You need to hold select, and press R and L to increase and decrease the brightness.

GAME BOY ADVANCE, or GBA for short. It`s the second-generation portable game console released on March 21, 2001, featuring a colorful reflective LCD screen.

The GBA screen can only be seen under the sun, or light at night, but it is very visible in high light. It adds a reflective layer behind the screen LCD panel, which relies on reflecting light to support the visibility of the screen, and it`s called a full reflective LCD screen.

The original LCD of the GBA screen is a 2.9-inch 160x240 reflective LCD,40.8 mm x 61.2 mm. now there is no original LCD for replacement. And original LCD is very dark with grey colors.

This enhanced LCD is 2.9 inch 480*720, Panox Display`s convertor board on FPC make higher resolution compatible with GBA circuit board. This makes 3*3 pixels display one pixel as the original display.

As you see, the saturation of color is higher, graphic is more tridimensional. And it can work well even in a dark environment. Panox Display also provides cover glass same as GBA original screen, the user won"t need to cut the shell of GBA.

I"m really confused by the varying assessments of the picture quality of AGS-101 and NDS Lite that I see sometimes. Maybe there"s just a lot of variation across different screens for the same models.

In my experience, the DS Lite is not blurry at all, and is crisper and more vivid than the AGS-101 (smaller picture size/higher pixel density helps here). In terms of motion, I rarely notice ghosting on both screens. The real issue is that both screens show raw/saturated colors for GBA games which were designed with the original unlit AGS-001 screen in mind. Strangely, it"s the GBA Micro OXY-001 that has the best screen in terms of color accuracy (and also an even better pixel density due to being so damn tiny). It"s the only console that Nintendo designed with both backlit and accurate colors in mind. Too bad it doesn"t do GBC games, as then we would probably also have accurate GBC colors on a backlit screen, something currently unavailable.

On the other hand, the OXY-001 screen has by far the most noticeable ghosting or motion blur out of all the backlit screens I"ve seen, though I"ve heard of people saying otherwise. Contrast is also not as good as the other two.

If only we could have a Nintendo handheld with all the good and none of the bad! In my dream I see a handheld with the same pixel size as the AGS-001, same colors as AGS-001/OXY-001, backlit, no ghosting (or at least as little as that of the Lite or 101), and GB/C compatibility!

In 2005, Nintendo released an improved version of the Game Boy Advance SP in North America, featuring a brighter backlit screen instead of the previous version"s frontlit screen. This GBA SP was Nintendo"s first internationally-released handheld system to feature an integrated backlight. (However, there had already been a backlit system years earlier with the Japan-only Game Boy Light, which was essentially a Game Boy Pocket with an electroluminescent backlit display.) The AGS-101 was never officially released in Japan, however, as the frontlit AGS-001 models were still available on the market until the end of production in late 2009.

The model number of the backlit SP is AGS-101, whereas the model number of the original frontlit SP is AGS-001. This can be found on the label at the bottom of the unit.

The mini button at the top center of the console"s lower face is now referred to in the manual as the "Brightness Switch" and selects between two levels of brightness, "Normal" (Low) and "Bright" (High) with no off setting. On the frontlit models this button turned the frontlight on or off only. With the backlight set to "Normal" (Low) the brightness still surpasses the original AGS-001 with the frontlight on.

In 2006, the AGS-101 backlit model also saw a very limited release in Europe.Game Boy Advance-compatible Nintendo DS one year prior. The European version was released in "Surf Blue"

Unlike the North American release, the European box does not feature any prominent text to distinguish the backlit models from the older frontlit models. In addition, only the "Surf Blue" color was unique to the AGS-101, the other two colors "Pink" and "Tribal" had already been released as frontlit models - for these reasons it can be very difficult to identify a European backlit SP. Apart from the AGS-101 model number on the base of the unit, the only other obvious distinguishing feature of the European backlit model is the large picture of the Game Boy Advance SP featured on the front of the box. (The European frontlit models of "Pink" and "Tribal" only feature small pictures of the Game Boy Advance SP on the sides of the box and Flower/Tattoo patterns on the front respectively.)

The AGS-101 Game Boy Advance SP was the final Nintendo handheld to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games in North America and Europe.
