Post by thread:touch screen displays

I would like to find a 10cm x 10cm (or about that size) backlit touch screen display. I was think of something like the Sony PDA uses (only backlit) or something like the Kenwood high end remote control uses. I would like to control the display using a PIC, so if anyone has code for this I would appreciate a code donation. A list of manufacturers or dealers for this product would be much appreciated. I've already looked in the usual sources (Digikey, Mouser, Newark). Thanks, Stuart Allman spam_OUTstudioTakeThisOuThalcyon.com

Are you looking for text or graphic? If text only (although not so large normally!) some of the standard LCD manufacturers offer a touch screen. If you have anyone in the area that flys RC and has a high end JR or Futaba radio you can check one out.. Amazing how useful a 40 or so by 4 lcd can be with a good menu system and TS!

I remember seeing ads for some surplus touch-screen displays in one of the hobby magazines a while back (it wasn't timeline, the king of surplus LCD, but someone else). I think they were about 5"x4" and were selling for around $40. Try looking in Electronics Now, or Nuts and Volts.

I was thinking that a 3" diameter would be about the right size to fit into the palm of a hand. Stuart Allman EraseMEstudiospam_OUTTakeThisOuThalcyon.com
