EVE Wide-Format TFT Display
Part Number: CFA480128E0-039TC
This 3.9" bar type TFT display module uses the FTDI/BridgeTek Embedded Video Engine (EVE) chip to simplify your display design-in. The EVE chip handles communication between the display (including touch, audio, graphics, and backlight) and the host. Plus, it communicates via SPI and uses a command structure, further easing development.
This display module has a wide aspect ratio mounted and the accelerator board is specifically designed for the display, resulting in a nice fit, perfect to be used in any project.
This bar type display module is great for rack-mount applications and fits in a 1U rack. Its unusual shape lends itself to a wide variety of applications, such as a display for a server, sound bar, amplifier, or dashboard. This TFT module has rear-facing mounting stand-offs so it is easy to secure in an enclosure.
Features:
Why use EVE?
Need a breakout board? The EVE Breakout Board breaks out the connections to the EVE module to 0.1" headers for easy development.
Don't forget you'll need a cable to connect the display to the EVE Breakout Board. For that, we have a 6-inch 30-pin FPC Cable and a 12-inch 30-pin FPC.
Need a complete Seeeduino/Arduino development kit that includes this display module, the EVE breakout board, a Seeeduino, and the necessary connectors? Check out the 480x128 EVE bar-type development kit.

Currently Shipping: HW Version 0v4, Firmware Version: 0v2
