This is a backplate for a portable monitor designed for Raspberry Pi or as a secondary computer display. It's a 7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1024x600 and a 60Hz refresh rate. [1, 2]
Here's an explanation of the ports and buttons at the bottom of the board:
## 1. Connection and Power Ports (Bottom Ports)
* HDMI-IN: Port for connecting an HDMI cable to transmit video and audio from a Raspberry Pi, computer, or any other device that supports video output.
* DC5V POWER: Micro-USB port dedicated to supplying the monitor with the necessary electrical power to operate at 5 volts. [1, 3, 4]
## 2. Brightness Control Keys (Shortcut Buttons)
In the bottom right corner, you'll find a 3-way mechanical switch (wheel switch or scroll button) that controls the monitor's backlight:
* BACKLIGHT+: Move or press the switch towards the plus sign to increase the screen's backlight brightness.
* BACKLIGHT-: Move the switch towards the minus sign to decrease the screen's backlight brightness.
* ON/OFF BACKLIGHT: Long or medium press on the same switch to turn the backlight completely on or off (to save power without disconnecting the monitor). [1, 2, 3]
