1280x800 Resistive Touch TFT Module

Part Number: CFAM1280800A1-101TR

Plug a full-color 10.1" touchscreen straight onto your Raspberry Pi and skip the ribbon-cable guesswork. This HDMI-driven IPS module gives you a crisp 1280x800 panel, a bright 750 nit backlight, and a built-in USB resistive touch layer, so your Pi project goes from bare board to interactive kiosk in a single connection.

An IPS panel that looks right from any seat

The 10.1" active area uses IPS technology with an 80/80/80/80 degree viewing cone, which means colors and contrast hold steady whether you are looking dead-on or from the side. You get a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a wide 16:10 aspect ratio at 1280x800 resolution, giving you 0.1695mm pixels that render text and UI elements sharply. The anti-glare surface keeps reflections down in bright rooms and workshop lighting.

HDMI in, USB touch out, no driver headaches

Video comes in over a standard HDMI connector using the DVI signal path, so your Pi (or any HDMI source) sees a plug-and-play monitor. The resistive touch panel reports over USB as a standard mouse-class device, which means it works without custom drivers on a Raspberry Pi or an embedded PC. Touch is single-point, ideal for button-driven interfaces, menus, and control panels where a stylus or fingertip tap is all you need.

Built to sit on your Pi

Dual 40-pin GPIO connectors pass the Raspberry Pi header straight through, so the module mounts cleanly to your board while leaving your GPIO accessible. Backlight brightness is fully dimmable through a PWM signal on GPIO18, letting your application dial luminance up for daylight and down for night operation. The panel runs from a single 5V supply through the power jack or the header, drawing about 1.7A typical.

Rated for the real world

With a wide -20°C to +70°C operating range, a 50,000 hour LED backlight life, and vibration and thermal-shock tested construction, this module is at home in industrial and outdoor-adjacent builds, not just the lab bench.
