LVDS Questions

[MikeJewski]

It is said on the wiki that the plus model can drive an LCD through LVDS up to 1366x768. My question is how would the pine64 react to the inverter needed with older LCD displays from laptops. Also, would it be able to drive an LED LCD screen through this display port?

Just to bring this topic back, as I can see it wasn't addressed in the other post. It seems to me that LVDS is much more wide spread, I'm not to sure about the reason for this change. I know that I am probably not alone in thinking that I was going to be able to use an old laptop screen as my display. And I can't seem to find MIPI screens that are a decent size anywhere. Just a thought, but does anyone know if there is an efficient way to convert between MIPI and LVDS?

The Pine A64 original design already selected MiPi interface, there is no switch change from LVDS to MiPi as people speculated. This reason on selecting MiPi instead of LVDS due to almost all new LCD panels are MiPi type and this info provided by LCD panel manufacturers.

Hello...

My u100 netbook just konked out...

The screen is still good but the cable wore out from the hinge, alone with other wires... So now is a great excuse to buy a Pine64...............

I saw the Pine64 supports LVDS, my question is about the specifics of the cable, I have read not all LDVS cables are made the same... Is there anyway to tell if the screen I have here will work with the Pine64?

While I am at it... Can this battery pack/mouse pad/netbook keyboard be used with the Pine64? 

Sorry if this is less general discussion and more projects in terms of which forum its posted

Pine64 doesn't supports LVDS, just MIPI DSI or HDMI.
BUt there are DSI to LVDS bridge like TI SN65DSI84
