This hack lets you use a TV in place of a graphic LCD screen. But we like to think of this less as a replacement for a GLCD and more of a simple way to get your information onto a television. A PIC 18F452 acts as a translator between the GLCD parallel inputs and a composite video output. There are some malformed image links on the page which we’ve fixed and linked to after to the break so that you can take a look at the schematic, component layout, and PCB artwork. The assembler code and hex file are available for download but you’ll need to register to get access to them.

This is cool! I like PICs. ;)
i like this too
Hi: Can i used this like a screen for mp3 ” zen v ” 1mb wich has a flat ribbon of 41 wires?
@kabukicho2001 — I don’t this so. This is an emulator for one of those common GLCD screens that are like 20 pins at most, and have a resolution of like 128x64x1bpp.

how can you do the opposite? namely to display composite video on a parallel QVGA GLCD?
Caller ID on TV applications?
