HDMI 5 inch 800x480 Display Backpack - With Touchscreen

This mini panel-mountable HDMI monitor with a built-in touchscreen can be used with any computer that has HDMI output, and the shape makes it easy to attach to a case or rail. This backpack features the TFP401 for decoding video, and includes the attached display so its plug-n-play.

The TFP401 can take unencrypted video and pipe out the raw 24-bit color pixel data - HDCP not supported! The 5" display is 800x480 resolution, to run most software.

Power the entire display from a USB port. With the default 5" 800x480 display and 150mA backlight current, the current draw is 600mA total. You can reduce that down 400mA by running the backlight at half-brightness (75mA). With the backlight off, the decoder and display itself draws 250mA. If you want more backlight control, there's a PWM input, connect that to your microcontroller or other PWM output and you can continuously dim the backlight as desired.

The touch screen shows up as a USB mouse so you can use it with any computer, no special drivers needed, Mac, Windows, and Debian Linux (Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi). Other Linux distributions may or may not work. Does not work with a Raspberry Pi + Windows 10 IOT yet.

You can power the driver over USB as long as your computer can supply 600mA on the USB port, and then feed it video via the HDMI port.
