From the project

Adapter board from Kosagi Novena to "iPad 3" 2048x1536 display. Prototype stage.

Development of an adapter board design for Kosagi Novena LVDS interface to connect to the "iPad 3" QXGA 2048x1536 eDP LCD panel (aka LG LP097QX1-SPC1 and related models). Possibly also a touch screen interface to suit that display...

Schematic PDF here Kosagi forum thread here.

INITIAL PROTOTYPE STAGE, NOT A THING YET

Very closely modelled on Bunnie's existing Novena eDP adapter, with additions. LVDS connection cable from Novena should be the same on both boards.
