Raspberry Pi demo kit operates all Kyocera TFT modules

The VIP kit includes the desired size of display from the Kyocera product range, a universal HDMI-to-LVDS converter and the appropriate cables and power packs. Designed to be connected directly to the Raspberry, the converter can also be connected to any HDMI port so that content can be viewed on the corresponding Kyocera display. Users can quickly and easily upload images and view them with the application, due to the kit being available as a plug-and-play version. An additional benefit to the VIP Kit is that it can be used anywhere without the need for an additional display. Graphics can also be easily altered and optimised on the display.

“Our new VIP Kit offers users from a variety of different sectors numerous additional options for the rapid implementation of demonstration models. In addition, it makes work on client presentations or at trade fair stands faster and a whole lot easier,” commented Manfred Sauer, Head of Sales & Marketing, Kyocera Display Europe GmbH.

The Kyocera VIP Kit has a single channel 24-bit HDMI-LVDS converter with a 15-MHz to 85-MHz pixel clock. Other features include VGA (640 x 480) to Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and users can select between Hsync, Vsync or Clock polarity. The power pack supplied provides the required voltage of 12 V/1.5 A; and the control unit for the backlight with up to a maximum of 600 mA integrated.

Available from December 2013, the Kyocera VIP Kit is offered through regular sales channels.
