DIY Control LCD with Atmel Mega32
Here is a good DIY project on building a controller for a Cell Phone LCD screen. Refik did this using an Atmel Mega32 AVR controller. He ordered the LCD screen, and a mounting PCB board (used to mount the LCD screen to, and have something to solder to.) He downloaded the code for the Epson S1D15G10 Controller, and converted it to work with an Atmel chip. He can now implement this color LCD with whaterv he wants.

“DIY: Controlling a color graphic LCD, Epson S1D15G10 Controller, with an ATMEL AVR ATMega32L
One of the visitors of e-dsp site sent me an e-mail asking me if I could create a project where we use the LCD display from a cell phone. At first I thought it was a great idea but I already ordered another graphic LCD display to play with it. However I gave it a try, I ordered the display that is used in some of the Nokia models, and I am not sure in which one.
I ordered the LCD from SparkFun Electronics http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=569 and the PCB board for it so I don’t have to solder on the small connector (I think it is not also possible to solder anything to the connector). Whatever, after a week and a half it arrived. I had a spare ATMega32L-8PI and I decided to give it a try”. Thanks Refik! [Link]
