For the reason

The main reason for making this portable screen is that I often cannot watch videos at the same time while coding and debugging or other things. Besides, I am a fan of building blocks, so I decided to make a portable screen by myself. Can also be used for the previous laptop to change the desktop, the previous link will be the old notebook into a sense of art desktop, less than 40 yuan!

Some may ask, why not just buy ready-made? In a word, poor! I found that portable screens at the price of five or six hundred were of poor quality, and there were thousands of better ones. What I needed was a small secondary screen rather than switch or something like that.

No sooner said than done.

  • First of all, I need to go to “screen library network” to find the right panel. I use it to watch videos mostly, so 1080p and 60Hz are enough. Finally found a 15.6-inch, 72-gamut LG LP156WF6-SPB1 panel. After choosing, you can go to Taobao to find a seller to buy.

Generally buy panel words will have A- and A+ screen, A- is there will be light leakage or one or two bad points, A+ is the perfect screen, each business price difference is big, you can go shopping more than three.

  • The second step needs to match a drive board and brush the corresponding drive, search keywords [screen drive board], tell the seller your panel model, he will tell you can brush the drive (most can).

In addition, the driver board generally supports speaker output, you can also buy a pair of speakers. I was stupid to see other big guys installed I also bought, but in the process of spelling found that the horn installed ugly and take up space, the most important is that I do not need the horn. So I took it off in the middle (you can still see it in the video).

  • The third step is to find blocks, I bought is gear blocks, 15.6 inches of the seller said 4000 is enough. I ended up using only about $3,500, and I built a phone stand for the rest. I bought the 8mm, the recommendation is to try to use a little bigger can not spell some less.

I would like to focus on this amazing building block, because it is not a Lego type building block, it is a 3D structure building block, which is very tight if it is properly put together, and does not worry about falling apart at all. If you drop it from the second floor, I think it’s more likely to break than to fall apart. The downside is it doesn’t burn money, it burns fingers

The last thing is to wait for the arrival of assembly. I really quite “fast”, seven or eight minutes to spell good, is done after the second day to go to work to play code finger tip a little pain

So let’s start with the diagram

Test the screen after arrival

I put it together while WATCHING a movie. Four movies!
