To your first question: no you cannot "spread out" the module and carrier, the module has to plug directly into the carrier board socket. There are a lot of very high speed signals running over that connector, any form of cable to go between boards is bound to have a significant negative impact on the signal integrity. To the question on the display, yes I have seen it. No those exact connectors are not going to be on CSP1, they take up way too much room. Instead there will be a 50 pin .5mm FFC connector with the same signals, so that exact board will not work, but it is a simple board to go between the 50 pin cable and any display. The problem is that the cables to the displays are not standardized, so a separate board would probably have to be designed for each different type of display desired. There are at least 4 different display interfaces on the wand module: HDMI, full parallel, LVDS and SPI. HDMI gets it's own connector on the back, and the other three are on the 50 pin connector. There are actually a few more supported by the processor, but I don't think they are on the EDM connector. The big issue is going to be software. The wand sdk comes with drivers for HDMI and LVDS, HDMI is already in CSOS, JackOfAll says the LVDS will be easy, but the other two will most likely take some work. BTW that display from Future Electronics uses the full parallel interface. So even if you get a board to interface to a panel it may take some time to get the software working for it. BTW the inexpensive modules you can get on ebay use either the SPI or full parallel interface, so even if a cheap adapter will connect them to the 50 pin connector, it may take some significant effort to get a driver working.
