Ok, so another LCD I'm trying to get to work is the one from the IBM Thinkpad 760C. Yet again, I've failed to find data on the LCD, nor do I know what I should do after getting the datasheet(s).

Please and thanks

 

well i messed with this lcd, but failed

Sorry, but you appear to have no idea what you're doing? - and yet you're going for extremely complicated displays that will require months of reverse engineering.

Hehe ;;
No harm in trying, plus I have so start with these LCDs somewhere. Regular old passive matrix LCDs just don't cut it
After one has acquired a datasheet for an LCD, would the next step be to get an ic and program? Or is there something I'm missing . . ? Also, I've been trying to understand how the pixel data is sent, but I'm somewhat confused. (for TFTs)

 

Try something simpler like a 128x64 GLCD.

Although it looks nice and simple, its only an STN type (I'm looking for a TFT)
Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

Then look into an OLED display. It's going to require some skill to program any display, do you have any programming / electronic experience?
You appear to be good at pulling things apart.

Well the reason I'm intent on getting a TFT LCD to work is that I want to play around with some of the insides and only a TFT fits my needs.

I've done C,C++,Java ... (dont wanna list all of them . . ) for about . . 5 years.
And regarding electronics, I've taken/am taking electronics courses ( though nothing regarding displays in detail . . . . )

Yes, I take pride in my ability to take things apart and not know how to use them

 

Haha, you're very inspiring makorihi, I like you
