Waveshare 7inch QLED HDMI Display with Adapter Board (1024 × 600, Non-Touch)

A 7-inch, 1024 × 600 QLED display that takes HDMI video, power and control signals over a single 40-pin FPC cable. It comes with an adapter board and cables, so you can run it from a Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano or Windows PC.

The driver circuit sits on the flexible cable behind the panel (a chip-on-film design), so the whole module is only 3.5 mm thick. The QLED panel covers 78% of the NTSC colour space and 92% of sRGB at 350 cd/m², a wider colour range than the 45% NTSC of the IPS version of this screen.

The adapter board turns a full-size HDMI input and a USB-C power input into the panel's FPC connection. Its header exposes 5 V in, 3.3 V out, ground, and backlight enable and PWM pins for dimming from your own hardware. Use the adapter board for first power-up and testing. Once your project is proven, the published adapter schematic lets you design your own carrier or route the 40-pin FPC directly into your own PCB.

It works with any Windows, Linux or Android board that has an HDMI output. The Waveshare wiki covers setup for Windows 7 to 11, Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali and RetroPie. A few limits to know: this version has no touch input; it needs a 5 V supply of at least 500 mA, and a weak USB port can make the screen flicker (a 5 V 1 A supply fixes it); and the display shouldn't be connected or disconnected while powered.

Features

• Fits slim cases and panel cut-outs, because the driver circuit is mounted on the FPC instead of on a board behind the panel

• Shows web and photo content close to its intended colour, covering 92% of the sRGB colour space

• Holds its colour through long installations, rated by Waveshare for up to 60,000 hours without colour degradation

• Readable from off-axis positions with a 170° viewing angle and 350 cd/m² brightness

• Simpler wiring in embedded builds, because one 40-pin FPC carries HDMI signals, power and backlight control

• Dim the screen or cut power use with PWM backlight control: 0–3.3 V on the adapter's PWM pin, with 0 V the brightest

• Connects to any board or PC with an HDMI output through the adapter's full-size HDMI port, and the included micro HDMI adapter suits boards with a micro HDMI port, such as Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 (changing the resolution in config.txt is required)

• Runs from a 5 V 1 A supply, with a rated power draw of 2.15 W
