Hi thanks for good help yes i corectly need this but i want build this.i need a step by step help.
 

You'll have to convert the VGA protocol to LVDS - The conversion should take care of both the physical layer and data layer of communication.

Are you familiar with software/microcontroller design? or maybe FPGA design?
 
Hi
In first i have one question:
U say i have to convert vga to lvds that mean my lcd input protocol is LVDS?
And do u can explain some about data layer and physical layer ?
I dont hear about fpga but i work atmega microcontroller.
Thanks
 

In general:

"Physical Layer" refers to the "method and means" of signal transport...
Electric digital (single ended or deferential) / electric analog / Ultrasonic / RF / fiber optic / etc...

"Data Layer" refers to the "functional meaning" of these signals.

You can say that VGA is an analog protocol that dictates both the Physical and Data layers of communications.
LVDS however specifies only the Physical layer. The Data layer of your LCD is explained in page 10 of your document.

If your MCU supports LVDS (I doubt that the ATmega does) you'll have connect your LVDS I/O signals to it and. On the other side, you'll have to interface with analog signals to your VGA. For that, you'll have to use a DAC (digital to analog converter).

Your MCU will have to take care of the "Data Layer" processing - essentially "translating" back and forth the VGA
"language" to the language your LCD speaks.

Note: if your MCU doesn't have an LVDS interface - you'll have to build it yourself. This is really simple.
Other then that, you'll have to check that your MCU is up for the job (speed wise).
The VGA side may not be a problem - but the LVDS side may require a quicker device than your ATmega.
