My guess is that for digital LCDs, with 8bits per colour, you "just" have to use some kind of shift register to output the color information from the MCU, but that's for a future case (sparkfun's 1$ QVGA LCD) I still have to find more infos on what the pinout is (actually, I have the full pinout from the datasheet, but there are some things I don't understand). Thanks for your help, looking forward to this new post ^^ I’m using an analog LCD, with 3 pins for Vr, Vg, Vb (0>5v for the intensity).

Does your LCD have an analog or digital interface (8 bit bus or something similar?) I will post a full writeup with schematics and source, keep watching the blog.

I'm currently working on a PVI LCD, and I really have hard time figuring this kind of thing out ^^ (by the way, I work with an Arduino, so Atmel ^^) I’d really like to see a post about how you timed everything, which lines on the LCD you are using, etc…

Actually when I had originally envisioned this project, I was thinking of buying one of those track lighting systems from Ikea, and hanging these LCDs down, powered by the tracks. I bought two LCDs at the time, with the intention of buying several more if I ever made them work. That’s the basic idea.
