The 7-inch Zed Touch Display Kit demonstrates a complete embedded display system allowing for video output to an integrated 7-inch WVGA display with the benefits of an Avnet PCAP touch solution. The kit combines an 800 x 480 WVGA TFT-LCD display with an industrial projective capacitive touch sensor, I2C-based touch controller, LED backlight supply and all the necessary cables. The touch display connects to the ZedBoard™ or MicroZed™ through a standard DisplayPort cable and adapter cards. The projected capacitive touch overlay provides enhanced touch ruggedness, suitable for more demanding outdoor or industrial environments. The display panel included with this kit provides a high contrast ratio of 400:1 and 350 nits brightness, making the optic performance of this display an excellent fit for industrial applications, particularly in locations with non-ideal lighting conditions or where the user may not be at an optimal distance from the display.

“With the rapid evolution of capacitive-touch technology and the growing number of applications requiring embedded human-machine interface capability, Avnet opted to upgrade the 7-inch Zed Touch Display Kit to offer extended value to a broader range of customers,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “The kit was specifically designed with long-life components so developers can quickly start their User Interface proof of concept and smoothly transition into production without sourcing complications due to part obsolescence.”

Kit Contents Include:

• 7-inch LCD Touch Display Assembly
• ZED LCD Interface
• Standard DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort Cable
• 12V Power Supply
