The displays feature excellent brightness and contrast performance, and a fully integrated interface PCB.

The addition of a Raspberry Pi SBC will allow the HDMI TFT display modules to function as an easy-to-use LCD monitor. The display’s integrated interface PCB has a 40-pin GPIO interface and a standard 19-pin type-A HDMI interface connector, enabling direct connection to a Raspberry Pi SBC. The HDMI TFT modules can be used with many other SBCs or external HDMI input sources.

Interconnect solutions to enhance the connectivity of the Raspberry Pi to the HDMI TFT display module are also available from Midas. An HDMI to HDMI interconnect board connects the HDMI output of the Raspberry Pi to the display mounted interface PCB, and a Type-A USB to Micro-B USB cable enables touch-screen functionality.

All three display modules feature a 16:9 Landscape aspect ratio and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

The three HDMI TFT display modules are:

The 5.0-inch MCT050HDMI-A features 800 x 480 WVGA resolution, a brightness of 500cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 500:1. The mechanical outline dimensions are 120.70mm (w) x 75.80mm (h) x 21.50mm (d) with an active display area of 108.0mm (w) x 64.8mm (h).

The 7.0-inch MCT070HDMI-B has 1024 x 600 WSVGA resolution, a brightness of 600cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 800:1. The mechanical outline dimensions are 164.80mm (w) x 99.80mm (h) x 24.80mm (d) with an active display area of 154.21mm (w) x 85.92mm (h).

The 10.1-inch MCT101HDMI-A with 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution, 1100cd/m² brightness and a contrast ration of 800:1. The mechanical outline dimensions are 230.56mm (w) x 155.01mm (h) x 25.60mm (d) with an active display area of 216.96mm (h) x 135.6mm (w).
