The anti-glare coating ensures visibility in bright conditions. Information Dashboards: Digital signage, information kiosks, wayfinding displays, and queue management systems benefiting from wide viewing angles. Industrial HMI: Human-machine interfaces for factory automation, process control, and equipment monitoring where display consistency is critical. Portable Displays: Secondary screens for laptops, field service tools, and mobile workstations with the thin 2.25mm profile enabling portable designs. Embedded Development: Development platforms for embedded Linux and Android development. Medical Devices: Patient monitoring systems and portable diagnostic equipment where display clarity is essential. The display integrates with ArmSoM boards and Banana Pi systems, making it excellent for developers working with embedded Linux platforms. Packing List The following items are included with the BPI Display 10 HD: 1 × BPI Display 10 HD LCD module with integrated capacitive touch panel 1 × 40-pin FPC ribbon cable for MIPI DSI connection 1 × Driver board (pre-attached to display panel) Important Notes: Additional cables, adapters, and mounting hardware may be required depending on your specific application and SBC compatibility. The display requires a compatible host board with MIPI DSI output. Backlight power supply must be provided separately according to the driver board specification. A protective case or enclosure is NOT included. FAQ What single board computers are compatible with the BPI Display 10 HD? The display is officially compatible with Banana Pi BPI-M7, BPI-M5 Pro, BPI-M1S, BPI-CM5 Pro, and ArmSoM LM7, ArmSoM W3, and ArmSoM Sige 3/5/7 series boards. It uses a 4-lane MIPI DSI interface requiring specific hardware support on the host board. Compatibility depends on both hardware MIPI DSI capability and appropriate software drivers. What is the native resolution and orientation of the display? The BPI Display 10 HD features native resolution of 1200×1920 pixels in portrait (vertical) orientation. This FHD resolution provides approximately 224 pixels per inch (PPI), delivering sharp images suitable for text, graphics, and video. The portrait orientation is ideal for document reading, mobile interfaces, and vertical signage. Does the display include touch functionality? Yes, the display includes an integrated projected capacitive touch panel with multi-touch support, typically supporting up to 5 simultaneous touch points. The touch controller (commonly GT911) communicates via I2C interface and works with standard Linux multi-touch drivers. The touch layer is factory-calibrated. What video interface does the display use? The display uses 4-lane MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface) for video transmission via a 40-pin FPC cable. This is NOT an HDMI or VGA display - direct MIPI DSI support is required on the host board. Most modern ARM-based SBCs include MIPI DSI support, but always verify compatibility. How is the display backlight brightness controlled? The White LED backlight supports PWM brightness control via the CABC (Content Adaptive Brightness Control) pin. This allows software-controlled brightness adjustment from 0% to 100%. Most Linux distributions provide backlight control through the sysfs interface at /sys/class/backlight/. What are the power requirements? The display requires 3.3V DC (VDDIN) for logic circuits (typically 100–200 mA) and a separate supply for the LED backlight provided via LEDA (pins 39-40) and LEDK (pins 31-32), according to the driver board design. Is this a complete display solution or just a panel? This is the bare display module with integrated touch panel and pre-attached driver board. No protective case or mounting hardware is included, allowing flexibility for custom designs. Where can I find technical documentation? Documentation is on the ArmSoM docs site. Additional resources are available at the Banana Pi website, GitHub, and community forums. For more on display technologies, explore our IPS LCD displays and embedded displays.
