Overview

The 70H-1024600 series display, designed by Waveshare Team, is for customers who need a lightweight HDMI display. As it is thinner and lighter than any traditional HDMI display, users can do the second development by themselves easily.
For simplifying the display, we integrate the power supply, display, touch, and control signal as the 40PIN multi-functional header. Just need an FPC cable, you can lower the project cost with the thinnest display, and apply it in any embedded projects.

Feature

• 7-inch IPS/QLED screen, 1024 x 600 hardware resolution.
• Capacitive touch, support five-point touch (this function is only for the touch version).
• COF thin and light structure, providing 40PIN interface one-line communication, integrated development is more convenient.
• High compatibility, when used with development accessories, it supports main control boards such as Raspberry Pi, PC, and Jetson nano.
• Support backlight control, more power saving.

Interface Definition

Adapter Board Design

You can refer to adapter board schematic to integrate the display, please note:

• HDMI needs to use an equal-length differential cable, and the differential impedance of the four pairs of differential signals needs to be controlled at 100Ω±10%.
• The four-pair differential signal cables of HDMI are required to be less than 5 inches.
• The length deviation within the HDMI differential pair is required to be controlled within 20mil, and the maximum shall not exceed 25mil.
• The interface ESD device needs to be placed close to the HDMI socket.
• The 5V power input line needs a wide enough path, it is recommended to exceed 30mil to ensure that the voltage input will not have an excessive loss.
• Pay attention to the line and direction to prevent reverse connection.

EDID Timing Parameters

If the system of the main control board can automatically identify the EDID for display, there is no need to set additional timing parameters.
Otherwise, you can refer to the following EDID settings:

How to Develop

• If you are using the Waveshare 70H-1024600 series touch display screen for the first time, it is recommended to use it with the development accessories:

Working with PC

• Support Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 system. Instructions:

1. Use the FPC-Cable-15cm to connect the 70H-1024600 display screen to the development accessories (pay attention to the cable direction, 1 to 1, 40 to 40 serial number connection).
2. Connect the Display interface to the PC HDMI interface.
3. Connect the Touch interface to the USB interface of the PC.

• Hardware Connection:

• Notice:
• Some PCs do not support plug-and-play with HDMI devices. Generally, they can be used normally after restarting the system.
• Insufficient power supply of the USB interface of some PCs will cause the LCD screen to flicker, which can be restored to normal use after connecting to an external 5V/1A power supply.

PWM Light Adjustment

Connect the GND of the microcontroller (such as a potentiometer) to the GND pin in the figure below, and connect the voltage output terminal (DC 0~3.3V) of the microcontroller to the PWM pin as shown in the figure below so as to control the backlight brightness by changing the voltage.
Note: DC 3.3V is the darkest and 0V is the brightest.
