Description

Yes, this is an adorable miniature television! The visible display measures only 2" diagonal, the TFT comes with a NTSC/PAL driver board. The display is very easy to use - simply connect 6-12VDC to the red and black wires, then connect a composite video source to the RCA connector. Voila, a television display! There's a little button to adjust the LED backlight brightness (5 levels) - there is no other adjustment available but we found that the color and contrast look great right out of the box.

To demonstrate it, we took some photos with the display connected to a Raspberry Pi, but it will also work connected to any analog composite-video output such as a YBox or Propeller w/Video out. It will not work with a device that only outputs VGA, HDMI or any other digital video signal.

Please note, these miniature displays are very delicate and require care to avoid ripping the delicate flex connector. These are best used by electronics geeks who have experience and are comfortable working with delicate electronic components. WE CANNOT REPLACE DAMAGED DISPLAYS if you are not careful and rip the flex connector!

The display has power in and video out on a 4-pin connector. The power wires are red positive (pin 1) and black ground (pin 2) the third pin is also ground and the fourth pin is NTSC/PAL video out. Note that the third and fourth pins might be any colors but are often white and yellow or yellow and white. If you cut off the RCA connector and want to wire up the video directly, trace back which wire is next to the black power line - that's ground - and the pin at the end of the connector - that's video!
