Description Waveshare 4.3inch QLED Tough Display 800×480 is a compact 4.3-inch DSI QLED touch display designed for Raspberry Pi and other supported boards. It combines an 800 × 480 QLED panel, 5-point capacitive touch, and a 6H toughened glass panel for small HMI, embedded control, portable UI, and smart display projects. This display is driven directly through the DSI interface and supports refresh rates up to 60Hz. Compared with standard LCD screens, the QLED panel offers richer color performance, longer color life, and a more vivid visual result, making it a strong option for compact premium display applications. Features 4.3-inch QLED display with 800 × 480 hardware resolution. 5-point capacitive touch for responsive UI interaction. 6H toughened glass front panel for stronger touch-surface durability. DSI interface with refresh rate up to 60Hz. Compatible with Pi 5 / 4B / CM4 / 3B+ / 3A+ / 3B / CM3 / CM3+ / 2B / B+ / A+. Official support examples also include VisionFive 2, Tinker Board 2, and Core3566. Software-controlled backlight brightness for flexible display tuning. QLED color gamut up to sRGB 92% and NTSC 78%. Long color life up to 60000 hours without color degradation according to official QLED notes. Suitable for compact embedded displays, smart control interfaces, and SBC touchscreen projects.
