OtterScreen
About the OtterScreen PCB
OtterScreen is an open source PCB design by Jana-Marie, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 44.8 × 31.4 mm, with 31 components from 19 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 5022505191, NE555, TPS61160A and 1117-3.3. By type, the board carries 11 capacitors, 8 resistors, 5 ICs, 3 diodes, 2 connectors and 2 inductors.
It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
DisplayPort to Ipad 3/4 panel adapter
It turns out that modern screens/panels like the LP097QX1-SPA1 from LG have a eDP interface, which is only DP (DisplayPort) but without a standard connector. You can buy such a screen for ~40€ and with the OtterScreenAdapter (part cost: ~10€) you can convert it into an external 2048x1536px monitor.
