Description Waveshare 5inch DSI Capacitive 5-Point Touch Display 720 × 1280 is a compact 5-inch DSI touch display for Raspberry Pi and embedded interface projects. It combines a high-resolution 720 × 1280 IPS panel, 5-point capacitive touch, optical bonding, and a 6H toughened glass touch panel, making it a strong choice for handheld terminals, compact dashboards, control panels, and Raspberry Pi touchscreen builds. This Waveshare 5inch DSI LCD (D) uses the Raspberry Pi DSI interface and supports refresh rates up to 60Hz. It is designed for driver-free use on newer Raspberry Pi OS releases and supports software backlight adjustment, so the display can be tuned for different lighting environments and embedded enclosure designs. Features 5-inch IPS display with 720 × 1280 hardware resolution for sharp vertical UI layouts. DSI interface for direct Raspberry Pi display connection and refresh rates up to 60Hz. 5-point capacitive touch for responsive interactive control. Optical bonding improves display clarity and helps reduce dust intrusion between layers. 6H toughened glass provides a more durable touch surface for frequent interaction. IPS panel with a wide viewing angle for control terminals and handheld displays. Software backlight adjustment supports brightness tuning through the operating system. Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, CM5, Raspberry Pi 4B, CM4, Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3A+, 3B, CM3+, and CM3 according to official compatibility information. Supports Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, Bullseye, and Buster when used with compatible Raspberry Pi boards. Compact structure for embedded HMI, portable Raspberry Pi projects, and space-limited display installations.

Product List 5inch DSI LCD (D) x1 FPC 15PIN 1.0 pitch cable 50mm (opposite sides) x1 DSI-Cable-12cm x1 FPC 15PIN 1.0 pitch cable 160mm (opposite sides) x1 PH2.0 4PIN cable ~200mm x1 Screwspack x1 Other Content The 5inch DSI LCD (D) is suitable for projects that need a small but detailed Raspberry Pi DSI display. The 720 × 1280 resolution gives more vertical workspace than many low-resolution 5-inch screens, while the capacitive touch panel makes it practical for menus, dashboards, setup screens, and local controls. For Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4B installations, connect the DSI cable as shown in the connection reference images and power the LCD through the specified 5V connection. For Compute Module projects, use the compatible IO board or carrier-board DSI interface and follow the display configuration guidance from the wiki and Raspberry Pi documentation. The Raspberry Pi boards shown in connection examples are for reference only and are not included.
