(the > 640x480 LCD or Color LCD - Single Scan) I talked with the folks at TimeLine for a while about several of their LCD displays. None of the ones in stock are usable in a view-through configuration -- they all have opaque reflective backs. One of the techs believed that a transparent display might be coming in soon, but was not able to offer any more details. > Could I get some input on if these will work with a wearable etc...

The ones with a "Serial Interface" have just that -- you send serial data (bitstream) and it displays it. Useful for sync. displays from custom framebuffer type units (clock and ram, anyone?). I believe that one section has text-only displays that display serial text (ASCII?). Some of them have horiz and vert. drivers built in. This simplifies the interfacing considerably -- usually you just require a sync. data stream and a clock. A few have NTSC (Never The Same Color)-ish input, although I don't know what exactly the interface is like. After thinking about it I choose the 1.4mm full color LCD. I believe that it is small enough to head mount, possibly via a reflective optics system like the MicroOpticals. The display has built in drivers and other goodies, so it looks like a good bet. Check it out in the Hacker's section of the web site. My question -- where can I get my hands on some of those MicroOptical spectacles? I covet them so much that I salivate at the thought of having such an unobtrusive display... Happy Hacking, Tramm -- o
