Is there any higher resolution, low power screen which the picocalc is compatible with?

Because 320 by 320 is not very good.

Well, depends on your perspective and what you’re doing, so in some respects 320 × 320 is a lot.

Unless you’re building yourself a PicoMite with larger panels, like I’m doing, then not currently. I’ve got 800 x 480 on a 7”, and 480 × 320 on a 4” LCD.

I’ve seen 480 × 480 panels that are physically the right size, but they’re not going to be compatable with the PicoCalc. I believe there are people on the forum looking at alternatives, but there’s nothing definite… and if the PicoCalc is using a unique pinout on the ribbon, it means a custom batch run, and that’s going to take a bit or resources.

The SPI interface PicoCalc now using have no enough bandwith to drive higher resolution(event now to reach 60fps @ 16bit color still need some efforts)
