I have just aquired a Toshiba TLX-1741-C3B for my media centre PC project.

Im just not sure what i need to get started.....this is what i think i need

1) wire up the control port on the thing to the specs of the schemeatic for the T6963C on this site.
2) find me a -8v power source. (maplins or RS)
3) a power source for the backlight i have an invertor from a scanner that should work.

is there something im missing or if someone could point out where i can get the right power sources from that would be grand....

Thanks

The pinout of that display seems to match the TLX-711A here:

EXCEPT that pin 20 is REVERSE input. If you connec this to +5v you get positive image and if you connect it to ground you get negative image.

Also the typical VDD-VEE voltage is 18.5V in the datasheet. This would mean that with +5v VDD you need at least -13.5V VEE negative voltage.

where could i get a power source from and what am i looking for, could i use a transformer from anuthing i find around the house and how to i get a -13.5v from a transformer?

Sorry about 20 questions i didnt do much electronics in school but i did a bit even thought it was 9 years ago

i found an old HP printer power surply, says 18v 1.1Amps is this what im looking for in the -18v stakes.....


just a thought

just to bump this thread up to the top, i am thinking of getting this project back on.


I am assuming to get the -13.5v i need i just conect it to the - side of the transformer or am i way out as thats all i can think of.

You can trying using a 5Vdc Pwr supply and then a -15V voltage regulator connect to a Trim, so that your are able to adjust contrust.

like described in the link, just look for a regulator that will meet your needs, you will have build a simple circuit on a PCB to get the voltage though; its the only way!

thanks for your reply.

Figure 3 looks right for me, i have tinkered with protoboard before what size would be enough for this 6x4in?


Thanks again

looks like my electronics skils are not upto the job, is anyone willing to put together the correct circuit im willing to pay for such services
