## Description

A 5.0-inch TFT display with 800×480 resolution, LED backlight, and a 4-wire resistive touchscreen overlay. The touchscreen adds user input capability for interactive interfaces, menus, and control panels. This is the touchscreen version of the 5.0" 40-pin TFT Display without Touchscreen. This 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. Key Features 5.0-Inch 800×480 TFT – High resolution for graphics-rich applications 4-Wire Resistive Touchscreen – Adds interactive touch input 24-Bit Colour – 8 red, 8 green, 8 blue parallel pins via 40-pin connector LED Backlight – Requires a constant-current boost converter (up to 24V) Specifications Screen Size – 5.0 inches diagonal Resolution – 800 × 480 pixels Interface – 40-pin RGB TTL (parallel pixel-clock) Touch – 4-wire resistive Colour Depth – 24-bit (16.7M colours) Backlight – LED (requires constant-current boost converter, up to 24V) Refresh Rate – 60 Hz Ideal For Interactive user interfaces and menu systems Embedded media players and info displays BeagleBone and other SBC projects with RGB TTL output Custom dashboard and HMI interfaces Package Contents 1× 5.0-Inch 800×480 TFT Display with Resistive Touchscreen (40-pin) Important: 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.
