Overview

The GEN4-ULCD-50DCT-CLB-PI is a 5-inch integrated TFT LCD display module designed specifically for easy integration with Raspberry Pi. It features a WVGA 800 x 480 resolution with a capacitive touch panel and a Cover Lens Bezel (CLB) for a professional flush-mount finish. This kit includes the 4D Raspberry Pi Adapter and a 30-way FFC cable to provide a plug-and-play HMI solution without complex wiring.

Why Choose This Part

The module utilizes a DIABLO16 processor to handle graphics functions, freeing up the host Raspberry Pi resources. The capacitive touch and integrated bezel provide a high-quality user experience and simplified mechanical mounting compared to raw panels. Its 5.0V operation and dedicated Pi adapter ensure electrical compatibility and straightforward power management.

Applications

Industrial HMI
Creating robust operator interfaces for machinery control using a Raspberry Pi as the main controller.
Home Automation Hub
Building a wall-mounted smart home dashboard with multi-touch capacitive control and a sleek glass finish.
Data Visualization
