This question also appears on the “Discuss” board. I like working with microcontrollers such as those in the Arduino platform. Now that I’ve replaced the entire display assembly of an iPhone 3G with a IF137-008-1, I’m left with a perfectly good LCD unit that the customer won’t want. Is there a datasheet for the LCD and perhaps even a development type PCB that I can plug it into and play with? For example can I set this up so an Arduino Mega can send a jpg photo to the LCD with some nice caption text? Thanks Bob
from some teardown reports I have read, I heard that there are maybe 3 likely manufacturers of the LCD module:
- Toshiba Mobile Display
- Sharp
- Samsung However I’m not sure if it’s easy to find the datasheets for the specific panel, but you may be able to do some digging knowing the makers. I don’t know if the manufacturer’s part number appears on the panel. on the other hand, I also read that the iPhone 3G uses a National Semiconductor chip to interface to the LCD display, the LM2512AA Mobile Pixel Link display interface http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM2512A.ht… perhaps you can get a clue from it’s data sheet and go from there. have fun and good luck
