{"title":"Adafruit DPI TFT Kippah for Raspberry Pi","handle":"adafruit-dpi-tft-kippah-for-raspberry-pi","url":"/products/adafruit-dpi-tft-kippah-for-raspberry-pi","description":"The Adafruit DPI TFT Kippah connects a 40-pin TTL TFT display directly to your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header, bypassing the need for an HDMI encoder/decoder. The result is a fast, native 18-bit colour display with full graphics acceleration and instant refresh — the same quality you'd expect from an HDMI connection.\n\nCompatible with Raspberry Pi B+, A+, Pi 2, Pi 3 and Zero, this board works best with 5\" and 7\" 40-pin TTL TFT displays at 800×480 resolution. Because the display output replaces HDMI/composite, you get a compact, cost-effective setup without any additional video hardware.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nDirect DPI Connection – No HDMI encoder/decoder needed; native GPU-accelerated output\n\n18-Bit Colour – High-quality display output with full graphics acceleration\n\n40-Pin TTL TFT Support – Works with 5\" and 7\" displays at 800×480\n\nHAT Form Factor – Snaps directly onto the Raspberry Pi GPIO header\n\nFully Assembled – Ready to use with software configuration\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nGPIO Usage – Pins 2–21 (inclusive) are used by the display\n\nAvailable Pins – GPIO #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27 remain free\n\nCompatibility – Raspberry Pi B+, A+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Zero\n\nOS Support – Tested with Raspbian; other operating systems not guaranteed\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nCompact embedded displays and kiosks\nPortable Raspberry Pi projects\nCost-effective display solutions without HDMI hardware\nDedicated single-display applications\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× DPI TFT Kippah circuit board (fully assembled and tested)\n\n\n\nNote: This version does not include touchscreen support. TFT display, Raspberry Pi, USB cable, and FPC extension cable sold separately. A soldering iron may be needed to adjust the backlight via a PCB jumper.\n\n\n\nImportant: This board uses GPIO pins 2–21, leaving only six GPIO pins available. HDMI/composite output is disabled when using the Kippah — both cannot operate simultaneously.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9309,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2454","price":27.22,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":72,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
