Hello,
I am thinking about build low power laptop using Orange Pi One and with monochrome LCD display. Thats I want to used as ebook reader, surfing on internet and playing old DOS games.
Unfortunately I dont have much knowledge in this field so I need help from you. First problem is to find monochrome LCD display for reasonable price. I find this SHARP LM64P731 (640 x 480 Pixels, 9.4") and Sharp LM5H40TB (480 x 320 Pixels, 5.5"), but I dont find datasheet and I dont have no knowledge how to connect monochrome LCD to Orange PI.
So can anyone help me with my problems how connect Orange Pi to monochrome LCD or recommend other better monochrome displays?
thanks and sorry for my english

It depends on how much money you want to spend. How much are displays you found? 7" 800x480 colour HDMI display is available for $20 in Aliexpress. And even this one can cause some problems with generation and exchanging script.bin files in OS distros.

I know that colour display will be easily connect to Orange, but I want rather monochrome.
Prices of LCD that I found are around $40 with shipping.

I've been interested on doing the same for long ago, but I rather would want a 720p 14" LCD, to make a normal size laptop for everyday tasks instead of little one. But I guess the sole screen would cost a lot, isn't it?.

Thank you!

Well, the Orangi Pi can consume a lot of battery power from your laptop. Nowadays, it has become very competitive to learn more about the power saving of laptops. So there is fantastic info on Robert Whatley blogs. He shares great information about the laptop dedicated for Orangi Pi.

Really a great addition. I have read this great article. Thanks for sharing information about it. I really like that. You can play: retro bowl to relax, or pass the time!

Now that even the OrangeOS page http://www.orangepi.org/html/softWare/orangePiOS/index.html shows a laptop, I'm very curious if one is already in the works more than just a mockup for a page.

A low-powered ARM laptop running OrangeOS would be quite nice if it had all the usability features and a long battery life.

Wow I absolutely love her! She is so darn beautiful on top of being a really good actor. I don’t think the show V is all that good, however I watch it anyway just so I can see her. And I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her do an interview but she is also rather funny and its all so natural for her.  I personally never even heard of her before The V, now I’ll watch anything she’s on.        jun88.bike

Hi there terrific blog! Does running a blog like this take a massive amount work? I’ve absolutely no expertise in coding but I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject but I just needed to ask. Many thanks!        Tải app 79sodo
