{"title":"5.0 40-pin 800x480 TFT Display without Touchscreen","handle":"5-0-40-pin-800x480-tft-display-without-touchscreen","url":"/products/5-0-40-pin-800x480-tft-display-without-touchscreen","description":"A 5.0-inch TFT display with 800×480 resolution and LED backlight, providing a large, vibrant screen for embedded projects. This version does not include a touchscreen overlay, making it a lower-cost option when touch input is not required.\n\nThis is a raw RGB TTL (parallel pixel-clock) display — it does not have a built-in SPI/parallel controller or onboard RAM. It requires a dedicated driver board (such as the Adafruit RA8875) or a processor with native RGB TTL output (such as BeagleBone) to drive it. Standard microcontrollers like Arduino cannot drive this display directly without a driver board.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n5.0-Inch 800×480 TFT – High resolution for graphics-rich applications\n\n24-Bit Colour – 8 red, 8 green, 8 blue parallel pins via 40-pin connector\n\nLED Backlight – Requires a constant-current boost converter (up to 24V)\n\nNo Touchscreen – Display only, for a lower cost\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nScreen Size – 5.0 inches diagonal\n\nResolution – 800 × 480 pixels\n\nInterface – 40-pin RGB TTL (parallel pixel-clock)\n\nColour Depth – 24-bit (16.7M colours)\n\nBacklight – LED (requires constant-current boost converter, up to 24V)\n\nRefresh Rate – 60 Hz\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nEmbedded media players and info displays\nBeagleBone and other SBC projects with RGB TTL output\nCustom dashboard and HMI interfaces\nFPGA-driven display projects\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 5.0-Inch 800×480 TFT Display (40-pin, no touchscreen)\n\n\n\nImportant: This display requires a dedicated driver board (e.g. RA8875 or TFP401) or a processor with native RGB TTL support. It cannot be driven directly by Arduino or most standard microcontrollers. The backlight also requires a constant-current boost converter — it does not run from 5V like smaller displays.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":8837,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1680","price":59.26,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
