Product Description

The 5" HDMI Display is engineered for "plug-and-play" visual output. Because it uses a standard HDMI connection, it functions as a standard monitor without the need for complex SPI-based video drivers. The resistive touch layer allows for mouse-free navigation, and the module includes a dedicated touch pen for precise interaction with small UI elements. The back of the PCB features mounting holes specifically aligned for a Raspberry Pi 3, allowing the Pi to be "piggybacked" onto the screen for a compact, integrated unit.

Key Features

  • Superior Video Quality: Using the HDMI interface allows for a higher refresh rate and better color reproduction than GPIO-based SPI screens.

  • Universal Compatibility: Can be used as a mini monitor for PCs, TV boxes, or gaming consoles, provided you have a separate 5V power source for the screen.

  • Integrated Backlight Switch: Features a physical switch on the back to turn off the backlight, helping to save power in battery-critical applications.

  • Audio Support: Some versions include a 3.5mm audio jack or support audio over HDMI, allowing for a complete multimedia experience.

  • Low Power Consumption: Draws approximately 400mA–500mA, making it efficient enough to run off a standard Raspberry Pi power supply.

Technical Details

  • Dimensions: 121mm x 78mm.

  • LCD Driver IC: RTD2660 or similar HDMI-to-RGB bridge.

  • Touch Controller: XPT2046.

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Configuring Resolution: Since the native resolution is 800x480, you must edit the config.txt file on your Raspberry Pi's SD card to ensure the OS outputs the correct dimensions. If you don't do this, the screen might show a "No Signal" message or appear blurry.

  • The HDMI Bridge: The module comes with a small, U-shaped HDMI-to-HDMI adapter. This is used to connect the Pi's HDMI port to the screen's HDMI port without needing a bulky cable. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent signal flickering.

  • Touch Calibration: To enable touch, you will need to install the XPT2046 driver. If the touch feels inverted or swapped, use the xinput-calibrator tool to generate a calibration file for your specific display.

  • External Power Tip: If you find the display flickering or the Raspberry Pi showing a "lightning bolt" icon (low voltage), try powering the display through its own Micro USB port instead of relying on the GPIO pins from the Pi.

Package Includes

  • 1 x 5" Touch Screen HDMI Interface TFT LCD

  • 1 x HDMI to HDMI Connector (Bridge)

  • 1 x Touch Pen (Stylus)

Disclaimer

Avoid applying excessive pressure to the corners of the LCD during installation, as this can crack the glass panel. Ensure your HDMI cable or bridge is fully inserted before powering on.
