Mobile Phone LCD for PC
Recycling Alcatel LCDs
Published in issue 363, March 2007
The biggest obstacle to reusing old mobile phone parts is usually the lack of datasheets. Undeterred the author has managed to work out how to use the display from an Alcatel phone purely by analysing the printed circuit board and data protocol. As a result he has made it possible to drive the display from an ATmega16 microcontroller.
Resistors
R1,R2,R3 = 10kΩ
Capacitors
C1,C2,C3,C5,C6 = 1µF 16V radial
C4, C9 = 100nF
C7, C8 = 22pF
Semiconductors
IC1 = ATmega16-16PC, programmed, order code 060184-41
IC2 = MAX3232CPE
Miscellaneous
K1 = 8-way pinheader
K2 = 2-way pinheader
K3 = 9-way sub-D socket (female), angled pins, PCB mount
X1 = 8MHz quartz crystal
