any hacks for replacement screens?
In my quest for a large e-ink screen, I came across replacement e-ink screens. I was hoping to create an array of such screens. Two 9.7 inch screens are roughly 8.5 by 11 inches.
The problems is that I am lacking hardware to run the screens. Freescale makes a display card, but it only runs a single screen. The card is also expensive. Quite surprisingly e-ink themselves have not been helpful. |

I plan to make an array (wall) of eink displays, using my K3 (and other) demo kindles. You can use a VNC client (or similar screen-sharing app). There are some available for various kindle models. Or you can proxy the raw framebuffer with netcat. ![]() EDIT: It may be possible to drive an eink screen directly with output pins (from an arduino or rasbpi, or whatever). But you would need a logic analyzer and some signal and protocol analysis skill to figure out the eink pinout and commands to send to it. Last edited by geekmaster; 10-24-2012 at 12:58 PM. |

I found some on e-bay. Here is a link to one auction.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-E-ink-LC...item3a6dcff2c5 DX screens run about $150, although maybe you can find a bargain somewhere. |
