Wide Screen Option available at Toradex?

Hello,

for our application a wide screen like shown here:

is neccessary.

I wanted to ask if you could provide us the following information:

  • Can we source this display (marked in red) somewhere?
  • What interface(s) does it use?
  • Does it have touch functionality?
  • Is it possible to get the neccessary overlays and/or configurations from Toradex?

We would like to use a screen like this (wide screen, bright, > 10 inches, optionally with touch) with our Apalis iMX8 QuadMax 8GB on the Ixora Carrier Board V1.3A via LVDS.
Would that be an option?
Do you know of alternatives that might be worth looking into?

Looking forward to hearing from you, Tradex support team.

Hello!

  • Standard configuration for 2x single channel 85 Mpixel/s or 1x dual channel 170 Mpixel/s

The Ixora carrier board offers:

  • Dual Channel 24-bit LVDS
  • HDMI
  • 18-bit digital RGB

While I can’t comment on the specific display shown in your image, Toradex does offer a Capacitive Touch Display 10.1" LVDS with the following features:

  • 1280x800px resolution
  • LVDS 8-bit interface
  • Touch Interface via I2C

For exploring alternative display options, you might consider:

Dear @W0JTEK,

We have done some research and found the following link, which shows the demo and what it entails. I was told that it is an LVDS display without touch. The details were published on a Qt blog in the past, yet the post no longer seems to be available. Should you be interested in a screen like this then we might be able to provide you one of our partners. Please let us know if this is the case.

Best regards,
Collin

Hi @collin.tx ,

thanks for looking into the matter.

Even without touch capabilities, the display would be a viable option for our project.
So it would be great if you could provide us further information.
Further, it would be great if Toradex would be able to provide necessary overlays to get the display running with our Toradex hardware.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards
W0JTEK

Dear @W0JTEK,

After digging around we found out that it was KOE 1280x480, something similar to this:

I was told that a dedicated LVDS cable was built for the demo. Regarding the overlay of this display I was unable to find anything unfortunately. If you acquire the datasheet of the display you will use however you can use the values given within for the overlay.

Best regards,
Collin
