Hi,
GOOD DISPLAY, the chineese e-ink display maker, has a 6 inch e-ink parallel display that can take on partial refresh at <300ms (one low res, and one higher). This makes it really interesting for e-book applications or writing devices. My idea would be to create a "pi-reader" enhanced with bluetooth that could be like a "pi-notebook" once coupled with a bluetooth keyboard (a foldable one, for example).
However, i am a coder, a software person, and i am not very confident with electronics. Good display provides schemas, docs and all, but i can't make much sense of those.I saw that interfacing a parallel display with a pi is a well documented task. However those screens are diferent. I think I can manage to learn how to work an interface, but I am turning to the community for a couple of questions :
- For the ones that understands the problems at hands, or have build what I am talking about in the past, does it seem like something doable ? I am asking both for displaying something on the screen and use a fast partial refresh.
- How should the connection been done between the pi and the scren ? Is there connectors / boards / controller generic enough available for this purpose ? Or should it been a custom wiring ?
Thank you very much for your insights !
