all pointless as the maximum resolution glamo can drive is 640x480 (or
480x640). you'll never be able to go above that as long as you have a
freerunner. (and note that that is even far beyond what glamo is designed to
handle properly. its a qvga gpu. not vga).

I think that AMOLED display is better upgrade for our FRs and small
form factors AMOLEDs aren't much expensive. AMOLED displays have
similar data interfaces as TFT LCDs, but perhaps we'll need to modify
power supply.

They say it's an IPS display. Because they are not that common, it's
likely that it's a custom made from Boe Hydis (www.hydis.com). They
list only a small number of available displays, but some vendors have
other panels from them.

what I noticed is that a > 300ppi resolution is what's written about in 
"Star Trek TNG technical manual" ;)

when do we get replicators & warp drive ?

iPhone 4G display for Openmoko?

2010-06-07 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller
Hi all,
with the new iPhone it is for the first time better in display  
resolution (640x960 on 3''5 = 326 dpi) than the Freerunner (640x480 on  
2''8 = 283 dpi) with higher dots per inch.

Does anyone know where to get such a display? Who is making them?

Nikolaus
