You have to understand that this is a graphic LCD with touch screen, this is not a rinky-dink 20 character LCD.

The interface is going to be more complicated but it should not be unsurmountable. I don't have one so I can't comment on this particular model, but I've used graphic LCDs and I started as a PIC novice.

This one has a touch screen, just ignore those connections to start, get the LCD working first. TherE's lots of information on touch screen interfaces on google.

EDIT: This is a very flexible LCD. Look at page 35, it explains how to use an 8-bit parallel bus interface. I'd start there.


5.2.1 MCU to Memory Write/Read Direction on p. 44 shows how the LCD outputs the pixels.
