This 5-inch resistive touch screen offers a high-resolution display solution for Raspberry Pi and other mini-PC platforms. With a crisp 800x480 resolution, it provides sharp visuals for desktop environments and custom user interfaces. While specifically designed to interface with the Raspberry Pi via its GPIO pins for touch control, it also functions as a versatile general-purpose HDMI monitor. The module features a dedicated backlight control to manage power consumption, making it ideal for portable projects and embedded systems.
