3. You can also supply 5V current from the GPIO ports by directly connecting the power pins of the display. Sample picture as below:

   

To run the screen, you first need to update the packages in the Raspbian distribution and restart the device:

1. sudoapt-get update
2. sudoapt-get upgrate
3. sudoapt-get reboot

Then the image should come directly to the screen. In this case the HDMI connection is still init but. If you do not want it to do so, that is to load, you can cancel the HDMI connection with a command like:

1. display_default_lcd = 0

You must add this code at the end of /boot/config.txt.
