Description Waveshare 7inch Capacitive 5-Point Touch Display 800×480 is a 7-inch DSI touch display designed for Raspberry Pi and other supported boards. It combines an 800 × 480 IPS panel, 5-point capacitive touch, and a 6H toughened glass touch panel for embedded control interfaces, Raspberry Pi touch projects, and compact HMI applications. This display is driven directly through the DSI interface and supports refresh rates up to 60Hz. Official support examples cover Raspberry Pi, VisionFive 2, Tinker Board 2, and Core3566 platforms, making it a flexible touchscreen option for Linux and SBC development. Features 7-inch IPS display with 800 × 480 hardware resolution. 5-point capacitive touch support for interactive control. 6H toughened glass touch panel for better surface durability. DSI interface with display refresh rates up to 60Hz. Compatible with Pi 5 / 4B / CM4 / 3B+ / 3A+ / 3B / CM3 / CM3+ / 2B / B+ / A+. Supports Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, Volumio, Retropie, and other official usage scenarios. Supports VisionFive 2, Tinker Board 2, and Core3566 in official compatibility examples. 170° IPS viewing angle for clearer off-axis visibility. Software-adjustable brightness for power and visibility tuning. Available as display-only or with case in official examples, while this SKU is the display kit content listed below.

Product List 7inch DSI LCD (B) x1 FPC 15PIN 1.0 pitch 50mm (opposite sides) x1 2PIN to PH2.0 2PIN cable 10cm x1 FPC 15PIN 1.0 pitch 160mm (opposite sides) x1 DSI-Cable-12cm x1 Screws pack x1 Other Content The 7inch DSI LCD (B) is a practical touchscreen choice when a project needs direct DSI connectivity instead of HDMI. That helps reduce cable clutter and keeps Raspberry Pi touchscreen builds more compact, especially in embedded enclosures and control systems. Official examples also show display-only and case-based arrangements, but the black and white case layouts are noted as suitable for Raspberry Pi 4B only because of connector placement. This SKU content is based on the official 7inch DSI LCD (B) kit package list shown above.
