Internal LCD Port

The LCD (480x320) in the MP2x00 is connected to the main board through a 20 pin flat ribbon cable (0.5mm pitch). The display protocol sends black and white data only. Grayscales are generated by the Newton DMA by switching pixels on and off frame by frame. As old LCDs are slow, the blinking is not visible.

Ribbon cable is 20 Pins 0.5 mm Pitch FCP, breakout with FFC FPC Connector Board 20 Pin 0.5mm pitch to 2.54mm pin header.
