The following display outputs are supported on the board:
 
* Composite video (NTSC and PAL) via an RCA plug (the yellow socket on your TV) or [[SCART]] socket.
 
* HDMI 1.3a standard output.
 
* Display Serial Interface (DSI) - via unpopulated 15-way flat flex connector.
 
 
 
These interfaces allow the use of a broad range of displays, including:
 
* Televisions (HDMI or composite).
 
* Computer monitors (HDMI/DVI-D cable) (VGA monitors would require either a composite or HDMI to VGA or component scan converter box).
 
* DLP/Laser Pico Projectors (HDMI/DVI-D cable).
 
* RAW LCD panels (DSI + interfacing hardware)
 
* Composite and HDMI outputs can not be used at the same time (one or the other.)
 
 
 
==HDMI==
 
Directly from the board.
 
==DVI==
 
With an inexpensive passive HDMI to DVI-D cable or convertor.
 
 
 
==Composite video==
 
Composite video (NTSC and PAL) via an RCA plug, directly from the board.
 
==VGA/RGB analog==
 
 
 
The Broadcom BCM2835 only provides HDMI output and composite output. RGB and other signals needed by RGB, S-VIDEO or VGA connectors are however not provided.
 
 
 
A couple of options for VGA or component RGB outputs, bridging from either HDMI or the MIPI DSI interface:
 
 
 
Firstly, the following *might* work. Beagleboard people have reported various levels of success (mainly "issues"):

Something similar:

...it may need to be modified as described here:

Alternatively, it may be possible to design an expansion board that plugs into the LCD headers on the R.Pi. Here is something similar for Beagleboard:

Some more converters that '''should''' work:

Potential RGB interfacing chips:
 
 
 
They emit Hsync, Vsync and RGB w/ about 8 bits each (sometimes, it's called "MIPI DPI")

The SOC (system on a chip) does not support any kind of analog component video, including VGA, since the SOC is designed for mobile phone use where this would not be a requirement. Additional componenty would be needed to generate RGB signals. Additional componentry would push the price beyond the $25 target and therefore won't happen.
 
 
 
==interfacing to Raw LCD panels==
 
Nokia N900 has 800x480 DCS LCD [http://e-ditionsbyfry.com/Olive/ODE/ECN/default.aspx?href=ECN%2F2009%2F08%2F02&pageno=5&entity=Pc00502&view=entity (afaik its like DSI, but has build in framebuffer)].
 
Replacement screen is about ~$40 (~$50 with 4pin resistive touchscreen).
 
 
 
Nokia N8 has AMOLED 360x640 pixels DSI LCD.
 
Replacement screen is about ~$35, another ~$25 for Multitouch Synaptics T1021A touchscreen (I2C + interrupt IO, no docs/drivers).
 
 
 
 
 
Potential LVDS interfacing chips :

I2C/SPI ADC can be used to interface 4 pin resistive Touch Screens, For example [http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00291197.pdf STMPE812A]
 
 
 
===16x2 LCD Displays===
 
The old-style 2-line, 16-character LCD displays can be commonly controlled over UART, thus providing a cheap way to display values for sensors etc.
