7 inch Touch IPS LCD Display for Raspberry Pi

Good Display Modules really add personality into our Maker projects with that magical spark, and touchscreen takes it a step further with easy functionality and style. Although most Tinkerer projects are designed to be hidden away, enhancing our lives with their technological brilliance, there’s no denying the exciting payoff these more visually extravagant projects make when you can enjoy a graphical display mounted to your refrigerator or handheld device. Capacitive touch displays respond to the conductive touch of a human finger. No need for a mouse or stylises which tend to be as elusive as pens in a pinch. You can operate your Raspberry Pi device easily and on-the-go by installing one of these official Touch LCD Displays from Waveshare.

These Touch LCD Displays are reasonably simple display modules that are specially built to complement Raspberry Pi Boards. They feature mounting points that match the classic Raspberry Pi 4 and 3B+, allowing you to mount a Pi right onto the back of these displays and create compact but powerful projects. The 7inch Touch LCD Display is the perfect fit if you are looking to create a small portable device, able to fit right into a pocket, handbag, backpack or toolbox. This Touch LCD Display features 1024x600 resolution and a DSI Interface able to integrate into your operating system driver free, making it easily to use for enhancing your Electronics projects with memorable visuals.

This Touch LCD Display is 7 inches big, which means you will easily read text on your screen at a small distance that’s more beneficial to the typical portable and creative devices we Tinkerers love to create. With a screen larger than a typical smart phone’s screen, you won’t strain to see the colourful details on your new touchscreen Raspberry Pi if it is lying on a table or mounted onto a wall you walk past often. This can be improved even further when coupled with awesome Pi HATs like the LiPo Battery HAT. So, whether you want to add visual heads up displays to existing Raspberry Pi projects, want to add more visual “oomph” to otherwise plain projects, or have other cool ideas, these 7inch Touch LCD Displays are the perfect Pi-companions to help you make that happen.

Typical Applications for 7inch Touch LCD Displays:

Touch Displays like this 7inch LCD Display are great for many creative Tinkerer Projects or a way to put some visual “oomph” into your existing Raspberry Pi devices. Waveshare have also ensured their Touch Displays support a variety of other IoT Systems like Raspbian or WIN10. Whether using official Raspberry Pi or another microcontroller, there are any number of possible applications of using a 7inch display that’s larger than a typical smart phone’s screen. You won’t strain to see the colourful details on your new touchscreen Raspberry Pi if it is lying on a table or mounted onto a wall you walk past often, making these Touch LCD Displays perfect for smart home appliances, like smart fridges, custom door security monitors or digital photo frames.
