Will this display hdmi input without any raspi/usb connection? can i use this as a simple hdmi monitor without touch?

As long as the device outputting the signal isn't trying to do a resolution greater than 800x480, which tends to rule comfortable use of most modern OSs, but there are plenty of other applications where this is perfect. You just have to supply external power, and find some comfortable way to hold/mount the display.

can i power it with a usb battery pack? basically, i want to connect it to my DSLR as an ext monitor

How long will an external battery pack keep the screen turned on? For example, if I get an Ankey Portable Charge 3350mAh, it provides an output of 5V. How long will this last me?Thank you!

it works like a monitor?

It is a monitor. The only difference is that it is small.

Does it work with the raspberry pi 3 model b?

Yes, it could for raspberry pi 3 model b. Thanks
