    Hi,

    Some days ago I posted some messages requesting info about the Sharp LM64P791 640x400 B/W LCD.

    After reading lots on posts, datasheets :wallbash: and executing searching on all internet search engines available :sigh: , I decide to contact Sharp.... :duh:

    After telling a small lie :worried: , I got this:

    Code:
    That Sharp LCD is not a standard part number.
    It may be a custom product, sold originally in Japan to an OEM manufacturer.
    I do not have
    Specifications on custom display modules.  Without the original custom
    specification,
    I cannot cross it to a standard part number.  You will need to contact that
    OEM company for
    assistance and support.
    
    It may be a display that was sold in Europe or Japan or the Asia/Pacfic
    Regions.  My product database is ONLY for those standard products marketed
    in the Americas .
    I have no documentation to support it.
    You will need to contact the Sharp support organization in your Region.
    Use the Sharp Global Locator - [url]http://www.sharp-world.com[/url] to locate your
    regional Sharp office.
    
    The only other suggestion would be to try companies that
    deal in outdated displays, backlighting,  equipment, and accessories (this
    is not an endorsement
    by Sharp of these companies, but rather a direction you might explore to
    satisfy your
    requirements):

    Also included a datasheet for the LM64P74 a 640x480 B/W LCD dated on 1992.

    In my investigation I got a datasheet for the LM64P70 lasted revision October 1990. Take it Here!!

    If you see the serial on the LM64P791, in my case, it's 91G1085Y, acording to Sharp that serial means:
    91 <- Year of manufacturing
    G <- Month A=Jan, B=Feb,....,L=Dec. In my case G=July
    1085 <- Serial Number
    Y <- Factory

    Also, Sharp made this LCD as a OEM for Sony when he builded the Mac PowerBook 100 for Apple in 1991 (BTW, the first portable Mac :thumb: , and the first portable using a small SCSI hard drive :jawdrop: .)

    After reading both datasheets, the right interface for this LCD, should be a Parallel.

    Aditionaly, I don't know if an existing app like LCDStudio shouldn't support it.

    Maybe I must develop my own app :naughty:

    So, if you have time and one of this LCD, try as me....
