Having this, or something like this, as a kit would be a great way to get a stat-monitoring dashboard for your pc. Old phones like these are everywhere. Literally have a pile of them right here next to me.
And who would provide the support for every single old smartphone display (remember, they have all different connectors and they're too tiny to solder with a bunch of wires)?
@@screen-protector maybe im just not looking hard enough for a pinout, I would manually test every pin if i weren't afraid of destroying the lcd panel somehow.
@@romashul9672 Maybe first learn about the LVDS signal to understand what HGV, HGL, VDD or AVDD with clock are. This will give you a rough idea how displays are working in general. Then is worth learning about MIPI type of displays and understanding the difference in between these two ;). Now you can find some display which you don't care much about and try to look for a datasheet for it online. If you can't find it, at least you can try to guess your pin out based on your new knowledge.
Wish I could buy this in either kit or production size pre assembled. The IT industry could benefit from having portable pocket sized displays for server rooms and data centers.
Do you know if it will work with a 6s display? I’m trying to find a way to get a small but still1080p display for a project and this way seems sort of easy
Hi Tom, I have downloaded your project from git. I ordered your desk (rev1) a few months ago, and I want to ask you if you have somewhere the .kicad_pcb file for this version. Without this file find the right place for every single component is really hard. So I want to ask you if you could share .kicad_pcb file for rev1. On the git there is only PCB layout for rev2.
i hope you can reply to this. but are there any adapters which performs the opposite of that device. from the phone itself connecting to any hdmi capable device even without the touch screen capabilities? i was thinking of making my broken screen lg g3 to an android box. thank you in advance.
Just wondering... I can't find this shield (vid from 2014 now nearly 2021) I want to connect an iPhone 8 display to e.g. Raspberry Pi or Arduino (shame to waste the display).. I saw on Aliexpress some possible solutions but it isn't worth those sort of bucks ($40+) to make use of an LCD that would otherwise go in the bin. Thanks
Thanks For This, i have a lg leon that got hard bricked and now i can rip the screen off and do that. i was think hooking the xbox one hdmi to it . since sometimes the tv is in use i can play through my phone
I so want one. When and where can we buy it from? I just got my raspberry and am ready to try different things with it and this definitely looks interesting.
Hey Tom. these aren't listed on Creotechs website anymore, and they don't respond to email. It seems these aren't made anymore. Would you, or someone you know happen to have one you'd part with? I'd really like to get my hands on one of these.
I am very new to all this stuff. I want to make a project with a raspberry and cell phone LCD. I was thinking about using a small raspberry pi zero (because it is the smallest) and a phone LCD for a display. I'm trying to make a small leather notebook about the size of a wallet have a built in display. I'd like to have the LCD display a calender where I can make events, the time and weather, possibly other things in the future. would I be able to do this project with a raspberry pi zero? or would I need something else? I don't really know how I am going to do this at all yet so all info would be great! thank you and awesome videos!
Hay has there been any news on when we will be able to get these and how much it would cost it has been a while now and the doodle has got a lot of entries.
Good Job! Can I order the board somewhere? I cant do anything with the PCB layouts, because i have no lasercutter, and i cant surface mount. It would be nice if you can sell/give your plans to Adafruit/Sainsmart etc. They would make a complete buyable board out of that. And know anyone some alternatives that are aviable on amazon/ebay/adafruit?
There are a ton of cheap LCD driver boards. You need to get one according to the display model you have. Once you find a display (out if an old laptop, etc. Look up "[the model number] LCD controller" and you'll find LCD controller boards for like $5-20.
can we do reverse ? I mean i have an old samsung c9 pro laying around with broken display. I want to convert the display interface to hdmi or a touch screen monitor
@Tom W - Is there any way to do the opposite? I mean, I have a quite capable Galaxy S20 that has a broken display (still works connected through USB-C to HDMI) but it goes to sleep often in dex mode. I would love to be able to maybe take the motherboard and components and connect it to say a laptop 14/15 inch display from a broken laptop, and turn it into a mini DexPC. so basically convert the S20 ribbon into a LCD compatible ribbon, or just taken the motherboard connect a ribbon to a board like yours but for output to monitor instead?
Wow, sure there is. But given the cost of development, prototyping, testing, etc... I'd rather buy myself a dozen of new Galaxy S20s and still have saved a lot of money (and time) ;-)
Hoi from the future lol. Do you know if there's any of these pi addin cards that or simply just "adapter" cards to connect a 1440p/4k mobile panel for today's phones to connect to a pc with hdmi? :P
I was wondering if you could help me I found the shield but I don’t no what it’s called that I need to connect the shield to the I phone screen lcd 4 screen it uses a 40 pin on the shield? Pls and thank u for the help
I'm trying to find a full color higher resolution screen to hook to a small board that runs android, have you come across anything like this? I basically want to build a tiny smartphone like 2 inch x 1 inch with a 0.5 inch screen, anyone know if this is possible or where to get started? It's basically the opposite of this, I want to take an android or iphone board, and hook it to a tiny little half inch oled or lcd, with a decent resolution. Please let me know if you have any ideas!
Can you suggest or make a driver for the POCO X3 PRO display. My phone has some motherboard problems and I avoid it. Recently I came up with the idea to use its display with rpi4 that will attach to it. But I can't figure out how I can do that. Please help me with the solution.

@@tomw6301 is there any way to find the pinout of the screen connectors?

That’s incredible, great job Tom
Imagine hollowing out the body of the iPhone and putting the pi inside with the screen attached! That would be so cool!
that is cool. How hard was it to get the screen out of that old iphone? Looks like it was built into the navigation casing.
Very nice project. Would it be very hard to integrate a waveform monitor function in the FPGA for video purposes?
Nice magic there.
Although I would also want to try out displays from the Nexus devices.
This is awesome, thanks for publishing the details.
you should sell as a kit, it will be a wonderful hobby mini monitor for alot geeks like me
Great project!
thanks this Projekt is so cool to drive devices
hey! this was great!. I was looking on how to reuse my dead iphone screens
This is just the type of thing i wanted for a project, any plans to use the cap touch screen?
Do you know if it will work with a 6s display? I’m trying to find a way to get a small but still1080p display for a project and this way seems sort of easy
Thank you so much for going OS/OH! Does Touch/MultiTouch work (over USB)?
That's a DSI to HDMI converter only, the touch digitizer needs another converter, probably l2c to USB.
Hi Tom, can you let me know if I can use a oneplus one display with the adapter mentioned in the video? if not, which adapter should I use? Thanks
Question.
Could you in theory connect a camera to it and use an ipad screen as an external monitor?
Hello! Has there been any update to this project? Do later versions of iphone screens work, (eg, 6+)? And when/how could I obtain a board like this?
Pleas help! I have 7,9” display from iPad mini, can I connect it to raspberry pi3?
Can you utilize full resolution using this shield or is there any hardware limitation for the maximum resolution the driver board could provide?
So we are a lot of years on now, is there a version of this I can buy yet ? Many thanks
i want one too
@@lokikhaoma6295 same
No, DSi varies with manufacturers
This is great. So you can use any HDMI source?
is there a video explaining how to install firmware or adding custom LCD screens with similar connectors?
I like it! Will the shield get any cheaper?
i Really need in this board.
And one question. Can you change EDID for displays?
where to buy this MIPI DSI SHEILD / HDMI ADAPTER?
DIY
Alibaba
Any plans to continue the project and get that 8bit serial input working for microcontroller control capabilities?
Will this work on my iPod touch 2nd or 3rd generation LCD screen?
Hi, could we do this but in reverse? Like getting the input from phone and giving output via hdmi to a larger screen.

Im not well versed in this but could this work the other way around, so you can connect a bigger touch screen to the iPhone?
sehrsehr hilfreich, wirklich danke 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks For This, i have a lg leon that got hard bricked and now i can rip the screen off and do that. i was think hooking the xbox one hdmi to it . since sometimes the tv is in use i can play through my phone
hello, can i do this the opposite way like using my galaxy s3 motherboard and link there a bigger display because the orinigal one is broken?
It would be cool to use an Iphone x/11/12 screen or newer as a display for Raspberry Pi
To old video but still very usefull. i need to drive an xperia mini x10 lcd. can this be done with this or another shield?
Does it work with iPhone 6 Plus LCD screens? Also, is there an Adapter for the Digitizer?
+Tom W were to buy it?
hey i have a 12 MacBook retina and the screen is the only functioning part is there a driver board for it?
Does this work with iPod Touch 6th or 5th generation screen?
I so want one. When and where can we buy it from? I just got my raspberry and am ready to try different things with it and this definitely looks interesting.
one question, how can i get a ready-made board? it's hard to do the all project from zero.
HIya, have you started production of the shield yet?
Please guide me if I can use a 5.5 inch display panel with device an it would be greatful if you make one video on the same
i have my old phone screen Nexus 4 (screen model: LH467WX1-SD01), is there any display circuit board available to connect raspberri pi
Does this support the iphone 6 plus screen. The connector look the same so I think it might
Are those ALL the parts needed to build an iphone or will I need a few more?
does this work with nexus 5 display? I have two of them lying around
i have a z5 premium and I want to connect it to my ps4 or pc for a projector setup.
would this setup work? good video btw
Hey Tom. these aren't listed on Creotechs website anymore, and they don't respond to email. It seems these aren't made anymore. Would you, or someone you know happen to have one you'd part with? I'd really like to get my hands on one of these.
but doesn't the raspberry already have a built-in mipi dsi port??? why would you go through a double conversion to and from HDMI?
Dear Tom! Could I buy a kit for soldering or full assembled board?
Hello everybody! Does anyone have any ready rev1_top.bit file?

hey,i have a sony xperia z5 premium 4k screen but i dont know how to reuse it can you help me pls
Tom, could I buy your Display-sheild. Creotech are out of stock I'dont need to wait for a new revision. I just need this one.
so this can work with any lcd?, i have a bunch of old cellphones and i hate to throw away stuff so maybe i can re use it]
Hay has there been any news on when we will be able to get these and how much it would cost it has been a while now and the doodle has got a lot of entries.
Did you consider built an smartphone using raspberry? With simcard, cam and all stuff?
Hi. does this support 1920 x 1080 @ 60hz? thank you.
Is there another adaptor someone could get so that the touch screen would work?
Can you use it with a broken screen phone ? (i mean to use an lcd to look into the phone that has broken screen)
Would an iPad or iPhone 5 (iPhone 6) LCD work to? They may get cheep soon
What is that connector board called that converts connection to hdmi? 🙂 PLEASE TELL
Hi Tom,
are you the creator of this device?
I bought one at creotech and have some trouble with it after using it for a while.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, yes, I am. Send me an e-mail (you can find it in the project repo on github)
Tom
Hi there
I have an old 62pin LCD screen from a wikipad 7 or Nexus 1 would this adapter work with my screen?
If so where can I buy one.
This is so old, why isnt this bigger by now? Its impossible to find something similar..
Does it support 1080p resolution phone display ?
I have Lenovo k3note display
i waited so long for this that i kinda forgot are these still available as the link is dead
Exactly what i am trying to do but without the board.
🔥
Awesome....
Thanks!!!!
is it just the display? can you feed the touch signals to rasp Pi
Good Job! Can I order the board somewhere? I cant do anything with the PCB layouts, because i have no lasercutter, and i cant surface mount.

Does anyone know what is needed to do this with a display of a newer iphone? (7 in my case)
would it be possible to do this with a rasp pi 02w and an ipod nano 7g's display?
great to see that mate.. did touch worked?? pls reply.
I need to know too
It wont, touch is another cable I think
