RevC to RevF-like upgrade (oled display)

Post by min.struct »

Hello,
as i already own a RevC SD HxC, i'm studying how i could upgrade it to a RevF-like form factor.
My main concern is a smaller deported display.
This is why i was wondering if this OLED display would be compatible with the RevC ?

this display is only 17.5mm high, so adding another 5mm for the PCB + SDcard holder, it could fit the 25mm high of a standard 3,5" floppy disk drive.
it does exist in two versions. this other version looks fully compatible, but of course with this version the size gain is totally lost :

here it says :
Built-in controller US2066, COG = chip on glass

So do you think this OLED display could work with RevC 4bits, with an appropriate ribbon cable adapter ?
thanks ;)

It could but you need to provide the high voltage (12v) for the screen.

Hi Jeff, thanks for pointing the 12v problem :?
doesn't the mini-molex (berg connector) provide 12V?
