## Description

This 7.0" TFT screen has lots of pixels, 800x480 to be exact, an LED backlight and a resistive touchscreen overlay. Its great for when you need a lot of space for graphics or a user interface. 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 version has a 4-wire resistive touchscreen attached** [It's exactly the same TFT display as PID 2353 but with a resistive touch panel so it is a little more expensive.](https://core-electronics.com.au/7-0-40-pin-tft-display-800x480-without-touchscreen.html)
 
 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 125-150mA constant-current mode boost converter that can go as high as 9V instead of Adafruit's other small displays that can run the backlight off of 5V.
 
 For that reason, [Adafruit 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/ra8875-driver-board-for-40-pin-tft-touch-displays-800x480-max.html) (including Arduino & friends) [If you want to control with from an HDMI or DVI output, check out Adafruit's TFP401 driver board.](https://core-electronics.com.au/tfp401-hdmi-dvi-decoder-to-40-pin-ttl-breakout-with-touch.html) If you are an advanced electronics enthusiast [you can try wiring this directly to your processor, but it Adafruit don't have any support or tutorials for that purpose.](https://core-electronics.com.au/40-pin-tft-friend-fpc-breakout-with-led-backlight-driver.html)
