The HKT050ATA-C Topway LCD is a 5 inch smart TFT display module that talks to your controller over a simple serial link, so the screen handles the graphics while your board handles the logic. It is built as a 5 inch RS232 TFT LCD display with 800x480 resolution and a resistive touch panel, which makes it a practical choice for control panels, machine interfaces and engineering graduation projects.

5 Inch RS232 TFT LCD Display With 800x480 Resolution
This 5 inch RS232 TFT LCD display gives you an 800x480 pixel area of 108 x 64.8 mm, enough room for gauges, buttons, status text and icons on one screen. According to the manufacturer's datasheet, the panel shows 65k colors (16-bit), reaches a typical brightness of 650 cd/m² and has a contrast ratio of 600 (typical), with an anti-UV glare treatment on the surface. The 800x480 resolution keeps small text readable, and the resistive touch panel responds to a finger, a stylus or a gloved hand.
Industrial Smart TFT LCD Module for Serial Control
As an industrial smart TFT LCD module, the HKT050ATA-C does not need your controller to draw every pixel. You design the screens in advance with the SGTools development tool, load them into the module, and then your controller only sends short serial commands over RS232 to change what is shown. The datasheet lists a default serial setting of 115200 bps, 8N1, and projects can be downloaded from a PC or from a USB drive using an OTG cable. This approach keeps your main code simple and works with any controller that can send serial data, as long as the signal levels match.
Resistive Touch TFT LCD 800x480: Power and Mounting
The resistive touch TFT LCD 800x480 module accepts a wide supply of 6V to 26V, with 12V as the typical value, and the datasheet gives a typical operating current of about 210 mA. The serial connector exposes VDD, RX, TX, RTS (BUSY) and VSS, so wiring is limited to power, ground and the data lines. Before connecting it to a 3.3V or 5V microcontroller, check the logic level of your controller against the RS232 interface of the module and use a level converter if needed. The casing measures 160 x 105 x 27 mm, and the operating temperature range is -20°C to 70°C.
