Hi everyone,
I’ve been experimenting with different display options for an embedded dashboard project and recently tried a square-format 8.82-inch 768×768 LVDS TFT LCD display.
Here’s the reference module I’m using:
8.82-inch LVDS Square TFT LCD Display
What caught my interest is the 1:1 aspect ratio, which feels great for compact control interfaces or status panels. It gives a clean and balanced layout compared to typical widescreen displays.
Since most of the boards I work with — like Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and Jetson Nano — mainly offer HDMI or DSI outputs, I’m currently exploring HDMI-to-LVDS driver boards to pair with this panel.
The goal is to build a simple dashboard that can show system data, gauges, and touch-based menus in a perfectly square format.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has:
-
Used LVDS displays for embedded UI or control projects
-
Tried square panels for dashboards or simulators
-
Found efficient driver boards for LVDS panels with Raspberry Pi or other SBCs
If you have any setup tips, driver suggestions, or design ideas, feel free to share — always happy to exchange notes on display integration projects!
Thanks for reading, and I’ll post an update once I’ve completed the UI layout and enclosure.
