Hello and welcome to my first published non-Nokia cellphone LCD reverse-engineering effort. All my articles in this series focus on bringing you all of the details that you would need in order to connect a low-cost cellphone LCD to an MCU for use in your own projects. This one is no different. I will explain the pinout and the signals. I will tell you about the connector and where you can buy it and I will tell you about the controller IC and of course I will give away the complete source code driver for that controller.
