800x480 TFT with Graphic Accelerator Board

Description

This is a revolutionary new 5", 800x480 TFT that boasts high-brightness, sunlight readability. It's based around an FTDI/BridgeTek FT813 Embedded Video Engine (EVE). All display, touch sensing, backlight control and audio features are controlled via the Embedded Video Engine which appears to the host MCU as a memory-mapped SPI device. The host MCU sends commands and data over the EVE SPI serial protocol.

For detailed information on the Embedded Video Engine, please see the FTDI FT81x Datasheet.
Further information including programming examples, interface design software, and more can be found on FTDI’s website here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm

TFT Display Module Features

• 5-inch 800x480 sunlight readable TFT LCD
• 5-point capacitive touch sensing screen
• FTDI/BridgeTek FT813 EVE graphics accelerator
• SPI Single or Quad host interface
• Compact 30-position 0.5mm flat-cable ZIF host connection
• Threaded mounting standoffs for simple mechanical design
• Compact form-factor, overall size is no larger than LCD
• Single +3.3V power supply (backlight supply can be 3.3v to 6v)
• Bright 1000 cd/m2 backlight allows reading in sunlight

EVE Graphics Accelerator Features

• Support multiple widgets for simplified design implementation
• User interface design software (PC) simplifies the design process
• Hardware engine can recognize touch tags and track touch movement
• Enhanced sketch processing
• Anti-aliasing of primitive displayed objects for higher-quality graphics
• Assorted graphical effects such as alpha-blending, shadows, transitions, wipes, etc.
• Programmable interrupt controller provides interrupts to host MCU
• Support playback of motion-JPEG encoded AVI videos
• Mono audio channel output with wave playback and built-in sound synthesizer
• PWM output for display backlight dimming control
