Posted at 2014-03-15 by DrAzzy Odd that the picture shows a display with much lower specs (for which $1 would not be as ridiculous a price for) |

Posted at 2014-03-16 by Loop True... if you find anything of comparable spec at this price, be it EOL or not, and from a provider which ships to Italy make me a shout ;) |

Posted at 2014-03-16 by JumJum Not that cheap, but still a good price is this Display for less than 5€ including delivery. |

Posted at 2014-03-17 by @gfwilliams @jumjum I'm still waiting for mine to arrive :) @loop the display looks interesting - the datasheet seems to imply that it's 8 bit parallel data, which could cause a problem though... 320 * 240 * 16 bits = 153600 bytes, which is 3x more memory than Espruino has in total! And it might need driving continuously to keep the picture updated. You'd have to be pretty careful with how you drove it... I guess you could store a black and white image in Espruino and could try and send that out via SPI. @jumjum's one has a controller on-board which has it's own memory, so it's quite a lot easier to interface to. |

Posted at 2014-04-07 by Kalus @jumjum yes, for sure (sorry i had been at the hospital for some days). It's runcode but it could be easily converted to a Driver like the SSD1351 :

Posted at 2014-05-17 by user7029 How about alternate digikey's NHD-C0216CZ-FSW-FBW-3V3-ND Graphical display should be by the mobile phone using serial BT transmission. |

Posted at 2014-05-23 by Apollo-Displays Hey @loop, @drazzy, @gordon. Yes that was a typo, and we didn't catch it till someone had already placed the order. We honored the price of .99 cents, and lost money on the order, but we care about customer service. As of right now we only ship to the U.S. and Canada, but hopefully by the end of the year we will be shipping to other parts of the world. We have a very wide range of displays, and we are adding more more displays everyday. Keep an eye out at http://store.apollodisplays.com - and if there is ever anything we can help you with, be sure to give us a a shout. |

Sorry for being sort of out of topic, I'm not advertising, I don't work for them, I just hope to be useful to somebody... I believe they did a typo:
http://store.apollodisplays.com/store/ProductDetail/F-51900NCU-LW-AIN_F51900nculwain-57-In-Color-Passive-Qvga-Cstn-Led
(that's 0.99$ for a 320x240 rgb display, the version with CFL backlight is same price). Unfortunately they seem to ship only to english speaking countries, so I'm out of luck, otherwise I would have got 10 just for the sake of it, even without knowing how to interface them to anything!
I suggest you grab them if you can, sounds like a very good deal, doesn't it?
