I got to take home a cool LCD today that they were going to throw out
All "D" Batteries! How many?
24 "D" Batteries in each Pack, 48 total!!
For a size reference
Does anyone know how/if this can be used as a PC LCD?

Can you get us the numbers/names of some of the bigger chips (What I mean by bigger is the ones with at least 18 pins). It probably has a microcontroller in there, we need to know what it is. I doubt you'll be able to directly interface with the LCD, but the microcontroller can act as a bridge (probably will end up plugging it into a serial, USB, or parallel port). Nice find btw, that looks like a gold mine for electronics parts, and by the looks of things it hardly a year old.
Cool! The first thing I would do is write down the make, and model and attempt to find a online pdf manual. Seeing that it comes with a memory card i'd probably be allot easier to erase it and add new content. I wonder what is on the memory card and what format it is?
It played a short movie about setting up a wireless network.
The only thing I could find of relevance Here, and Here <=-
I know for a fact i've read a forum where people were taking screens out of everything,
phones, cameras, portable tv's, ect, and reusing them for different applications,
but I can't seem to find it. They were discussing transistor film.
The only thing I can find now are LCD manufactures forums.
Found it! Here <=-
You may need one of these controllers?

If you can determine what type of connector you input has, other than the obvious memory slot I may be able to find something that will work. Then all you'd need is a powersupply with a DC current equal to that of the batterys.
If i had to guess I'd say your input is on the third picture up "white connector" under the power cable wires.
Here's more detailed pics of the connections and stickers
Never heard of AU
Could you get a close up picture of the other side of both boards. Also, have you tried removing the sticker from the 20 pin DIP chip on the tan board. It's looking more and like the tan one is only for power, though that data cable is misleading. That DIP may be the key to figuring out what that board is doing. Also, tracing the leads from the ribbon connector (the one that actually connects to the LCD) to any chips on the board, mapping this out is important to figure out what is going on here. You may have some luck looking around http://forum.lcdinfo.com/index.php
AU is likely "AU Optronics"
I found allot of places that sell LCD controller Boards but I don't see AU on the displays list.

I think your best bet is contacting AU Optronics for a manual.
Woot! I found it. :banana: Here <=-
