might fit. Additional circuitry might be necessary to provide the display
with required 1.8V and 5.7V for operation, and an even higher voltage for the backlight.

The Raspberry Pi provides one clock lane and two data lanes on the S2 connector, as can
be read from the schematics (http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/
Raspberry-Pi-Schematics-R1.0.pdf) . It is currently unknown whether this is enough to
drive the iPhone 4G screen, as that screen seems be driven with three data lanes in its
original application.
Potential LVDS interfacing chips:
TC358764/5 Display Bridge (MIPI® DSI to LVDS) (http://www.toshibacomponents.com/mobile/data/Toshiba_TC358764_65XBGA.pdf)
DVI receiver TFP401A, TFP403, or TFP501 + LVDS transmitter SN75LVDS83B or
SN65LVDS93A (http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-
Discussions-Components-Files/130/3252.DVI_3B00_HDMI_2D00_to_2D00_LVDS-
Bridge-Application-Note.doc) (Mentioned earlier fit-VGA is build around TFP401A,
probably many more "active" DVI2VGA cables are build the same way)
I2C/SPI ADC can be used to interface 4 pin resistive Touch Screens, For example
STMPE812A (http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/
TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00291197.pdf) . Texas Instruments has
a solution for 4 or 8 wire touchscreens (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/psheets/abstract/apps/
slaa384a.htm) using their rather cheap MSP4309.
Character cell LCD modules
These have controllers and interfaces for feeding in text (and symbols). Common screen
sizes include 16x2 to 40x4. Often seen in keypads, industrial machines, cash registers,
laser printers etc.
The old-style 2-line, 16-character LCD displays can be commonly controlled over UART,
thus providing a cheap way to display values for sensors etc.
