LCD breakout and HI-LO level shifter boards off for fabrication
After my 1.38 inch round LCD modules arrived, I was finally able to verify that my Eagle library fit the correct dimensions. I soon got started on the design of the breakout board as well as the level shifter board so that the LCD module can be interfaced to a 3.3V Arduino device. After lots of pointers on electronics from a mate and many questions being answered by Tim from Pi Watch about the LCD module itself, I had the boards ready.

Truly 1.38 inch TFT1P2477-E Round LCD Modules (R61505V) arrived
I've posted an Eagle Library for the 1.38 inch round LCD modules that I've ordered. These have finally arrived in the mail today. I can now verify that the Eagle device I've created matches the pin dimensions so I can go ahead with making my breakout board!

Eagle Library for 1.38 inch 30PIN TFT Round Colour LCD R61505V
I've found an interesting project, The Pi Watch (also here) that used a relatively cheap round LCD display. There didn't seem to be too much information about this display, but I did manage to find its data sheet online. Tim, the creator of The Pi Watch has also been quite helpful regarding pin outs of this LCD, however one thing that I was missing in order to start my own project was the Eagle device library. Since I couldn't find one online, I just created my own. The download link is further down.
