Display adapter?

Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:59 pm

I received a promotional box from Dell, which when you opened it, played a commercial. Naturally, I took it apart to salvage some of the electronics out of it.

I wanted to use the display with a Raspberry Pi. But the ribbon sizes differ. The Ribbon on the display is 50 pins. I found the display at:

Is there an adapter that can reduce the pins to the Raspberry Pi or to an HDMI?

Thanks for any help.

Try to find the data sheet of your display module.
Looking at the 'no of pins' chances are high that your display has DPI interface. Then you can build your own adapter to drive it directly from the RPIs GPIO (refer to here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /README.md)
