This a photo of my collection of liquid crystal displays about two years ago. It did grow a lot in the meantime, but I couldn't find the time to take a new photo Most of the displays have been contributed by various folks out there. Thank you guys!

On the driver overview page the drivers and their hardware connections are listed.

Due to the modular driver concept of LCD4Linux, it should be very easy to support other displays. If you have an unsupported display, know a bit of programming in C, have some spare time and want to read your name here, read the following Howto and start coding! If you need help, just drop us an email.
