what does it mean for EOMA that small high res displays are switching to MIPI?
if you look at the list of available LCDs on http://panelook.com, go to "Advanced", select "MIPI" interface (top right), you see that on the world's largest web site which lists LCD panels globally available there are *only* 180 MIPI panels listed. that's gone up in 1 year from around 85 [gosh!! a 100% increase! woooow :) ]
by contrast if you select LVDS that number goes up to 1,900.
if you select Parallel RGB (which automatically gives you all the 480x272, 800x600 and 640x480 LCDs) that number is over 700 LCDs.
remember however that EOMA is *NOT* "a single standard". EOMA68 is targetted at one market, other EOMA standards are targetted at others.
so once we get going (once there are some sales of the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card) we will have the cash to fund "high end" prototype cards that will take advantage of the MIPI / eDP standards.
