God day members!

Okey this i what I got, an Arduino UNO and an EDG128BK3WXMGA LCD Screen (18pins)
Please visit this site A-Max Kepo Display Ltd. for more information.
Yeah, and I am waiting for an broadband to arrive:)

So, what I am asking if how do I connect this LCD screen to the arduino board?
Here is a picture on the back of the screen, http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9634/dsc00593zp.jpg

Okey I have done some research and from the link abow, to the datasheet I know now that it connects through a 18 pin ffc.

So, where could I get a 18 pin ffc connector and how much power shall I give it? From the datasheet it says 0.65W each (for the pins).
And 0.65 * 18 = 11,7W ??

I haven't used this but:-

No.

You need much more information than is in the link you posted to even know if you can interface this. It seems like you have two options, serial and parallel, but you need to know what commands to feed it to make it do stuff. This is normally in the controller chip data sheet as opposed to just the LCD data sheet. So you first need to know what controller it uses.

Thank you very much for the answer!

This LCD was just a screen a found. I was planing to find another one similar to this but I hope to get the LCD I already got in work.
This one for an example: SparkFun Serial Graphic LCD 128x64 - LCD-09351 - SparkFun Electronics

Any thoughts?

That is a good display especially for a beginner as there are lots of examples to look at.

Thanks, when I looked at the datasheet for my LCD is says Drivers IC: NT7534
