3.3.3

LCD Panel Selection

The choice of an LCD display is basically defined by two parameters.

Parameter

Value

Pixel per Clock (Channels)

1

Maximum Pixel Clock

112 MHz


Currently this leads to a maximum resolution of

1366 x 768 Pixel (e.g. SHARP LK315T3LA31)

With the GMA driver (see details below) it is not guaranteed that every resolution can be achieved. There
can also be differences between the Windows

®

XP und Windows

®

Vista driver. KONTRON does not guarantee

the correct function of the board for untypical resolution. In principal the use of DisplayID

TM

allows rea-

lizing every special display resolution. For this a valid DisplayID

TM

dataset must be written to the onboard

EEPROM. Additionally the BIOS Setup entry

Advanced/Display Configuration/Flat Panel Type

must be set to

Auto.

Many displays with a resolution up to XGA (1024 x 768) have a digital (TTL) interface. KONTRON offers a
special adapter to connect these displays to the LVDS interface (KAB-ADAPT-LVDStoTTL with part number
61029).

Note: The fact that a display is mentioned as an example does not mean that this display is approved by KONTRON.
