DFRobot has introduced a compact new flexible AMOLED display aimed squarely at makers, DIY builders, and anyone working with single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi 5. With a 6.67-inch panel size and a tall, phone-like 20:9 aspect ratio, it’s designed for projects where a sharp, modern-looking screen can instantly make a build feel more polished—whether that’s a wearable prototype, a smart home control panel, or an attention-grabbing demo display for events.
The panel’s resolution is 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, which should translate into crisp text and detailed UI elements at this size. The usable display area measures about 6.09 x 2.74 inches, while the overall module comes in at roughly 6.4 x 2.93 inches. It’s also notably thin at around 0.05 inches, making it easier to integrate into slim enclosures or custom housings where space is tight.
One of the standout features is flexibility. The screen can be bent without breaking, opening the door to curved installations and more experimental designs. That bendable form factor can be especially useful for wearable concepts or any project where a flat panel would feel limiting. For makers building showpiece projects—like curved information displays for a desk setup, wall-mounted smart home dashboards, or interactive exhibit elements—this flexibility can add real visual impact.
In terms of performance, the refresh rate is listed at 50Hz. That’s lower than what you’d expect from a gaming-focused display, but for typical maker projects—dashboards, status displays, control interfaces, or signage—it should be perfectly workable. Brightness is rated up to 450 nits, which is strong enough for many indoor environments and should help with readability under brighter lighting.
Compatibility is another key selling point. DFRobot states the display can be used with a range of systems, including the Raspberry Pi 5 and LattePanda. To simplify setup, the kit includes a MIPI-to-HDMI board, allowing HDMI devices to output to the panel without requiring an extra adapter. Power is supplied via 5V, which aligns well with many common hobbyist and SBC power setups.
Pricing is set at $199 directly from the manufacturer. If you’re considering it, it’s worth reviewing shipping terms and conditions before ordering, especially for international delivery, since costs and timelines can vary.
For builders looking to create a sleek custom interface, a curved display installation, or a portable project that stands out from the usual flat LCD builds, this 6.67-inch flexible AMOLED module offers an interesting mix of sharp resolution, respectable brightness, and a bendable design that can elevate how a project looks and feels.
