NEW PRODUCT – Qualia Bare Driver Board for LP097QX1 Display – The Qualia Retina driver board is a work of art (it was designed by resident engineer KTOWN). It’s used in the Adafruit Qualia 9.7″ DisplayPort Monitor Kit and we use the really awesome LT3754 as a 12-channel constant current driver with individual backlight string channel control. This gives the backlight perfect consistency over any usage or temperature range. A ATtiny85 handles the backlight dimming and soft on/off, so you can PWM the backlight over a range to get the look you want.
This driver is available for advanced users only! The Molex connector that is used to connect to the LG display is insanely delicate and breaks very very very easily if you are not very careful! If you order this driver board and break the connector, it may no longer work and we cannot repair it. If you break it you may have to buy another driver. We do not offer any returns, refunds or replacements! Do not purchase if you are not comfortable with this risk!
NEW PRODUCT – LG LP097QX1 – iPad 3/4 Retina Display – These are the same glorious 2048×1536 retina-blasting, ultra-high pixel density, IPS displays you may have seen in iPad 3 or 4’s. This product comes with only the brand new 9.7″ diagonal TFT display module, no driver thunderbolt connector! We also sell a Qualia driver and a full kit with our Adafruit Qualia 9.7″ DisplayPort Monitor Kit. This part is for advanced users, we suggest our monitor kit for most people.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
