adafruit 5.0 40-pin 800x480 tft display without touchscreen free sample

This 5.0" TFT screen has lots of pixels, 800x480 to be exact, and an LED backlight. Its great for when you need a lot of space for graphics. These screens are commonly seen in consumer electronics, such as miniature TV"s, GPS"s, handheld games car displays, etc. A 40-pin connector has 8 red, 8 green, and 8 blue parallel pins, for 24 bit color capability.

This is a "raw pixel-dot-clock" display and does not have an SPI/parallel type controller or any kind of RAM. The display is supposed to be constantly refreshed, at 60Hz, with a pixel clock, V sync, H sync, etc. There are some high end processors such as that used in the BeagleBone that can natively support such RGB TTL displays. However, it is extremely rare for a small microcontroller to support it, as you need dedicated hardware or a very fast processor such as an FPGA. Not only that, but the backlight requires a constant-current mode boost converter that can go as high as 24V instead of our other small displays that can run the backlight off of 5V.

For that reason, we are carrying it as a companion to the Adafruit RA8875 driver board in the store, which is a chip that can handle the huge video RAM and timing requirements, all in the background. That"s the best way to interface this display to just about any microcontroller (including Arduino & friends) If you want to control with from an HDMI or DVI output, check out our TFP401 driver board. If you are an advanced electronics enthusiast you can try wiring this directly to your processor, but it we don"t have any support or tutorials for that purpose.

This version does not have touchscreen attachedIt"s exactly the same TFT display as PID 1596 but without the resistive touch panel so it is a little less expensive.

This LCD is a high resolution 800X480 IPS TFT display. The IPS technology delivers exceptional image quality with superior color representation and contrast ratio at any angle. This 24-bit true color Liquid Crystal Display is RoHS compliant and does not include a touch panel.

Choose from a wide selection of interface options or talk to our experts to select the best one for your project. We can incorporate HDMI, USB, SPI, VGA and more into your display to achieve your design goals.

Equip your display with a custom cut cover glass to improve durability. Choose from a variety of cover glass thicknesses and get optical bonding to protect against moisture and debris.

Well, no one said about the 4D Systems Displays, and personally I don"t think much people use it, probably because it"s much more expensive then the rest.

But I do use an 7" inch display, I and I couldn"t be happier about my choice. It"s expensive, but totally worth it. I"m not a skilled programmer, so when I was looking for a display my main concern was, will I be able to do a nice graphic interface?

That was really easy with the 4D display, using ViSi Genie and their intuitive graphical IDE, and since it has an embebed processor the loading are quite fast, the touch are quite responsive and the Arduino isn"t even needed for simple tasks (as changing from one screen to another, for example). Today my project have 9 diferent screens, with a screensaver, sd card reader, digital clock, alarm ringing, set alarm, among others...

So, if you have alot of programming background fine, go with the others guys recomendations, if you are not, and are afraid of ending up with an ugly design like I was, just go for 4D display, you can"t go wrong.

By the way, there also have a way to program the display directly, but for that is needed to buy the IDE (Genie Magic), I own this display for almost a year now, and haven"t find anything that really justifies buying it yet, almost everything that I wanted to do I could manage with the free version using ViSi Genie. Also, they have a really good support, and a forum too..
