Raspberry Pi 5-inch IPS LCD Display – Capacitive Touch

Your fingers dance over touchscreens as well as any keyboard in this modern world of capacitive Electronics. Makers have great fun crafting various touch interface projects with Raspberry Pi boards and the numerous range of Capacitive LCD Displays. We enjoy providing all kinds of visual components and fun goodies so that you can strap a smart spy display to your arm or install an interactive shopping list onto your refrigerator. These whacky Maker shenanigans are possible with abundant imagination, a Raspberry Pi, and this handy 5-inch IPS LCD Touch Display.

The Raspberry Pi 5-inch IPS LCD is a simple light touch display, offering 800x480 resolution and an intuitive Raspberry Pi DSI interface. Supplied by Waveshare, this LCD module is designed for mounting Raspberry Pi 4 or 3B+ models to the back of your new display. Aligned pogo pins hook up to your Pi for the 5V power supply you need to see the screen flicker to life. This means you can create compact projects for wearable technology, a functional side panel for your 3D Printer, or an add-on interface to your mobile robot.

After assembling your Raspberry Pi 5-inch IPS LCD Display with your Pi board, you can enjoy tinkering with interesting software and features. With its 5-point capacitive control, you can adjust the screen’s brightness using your chosen flashed system. Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie are all compatible without the need for drivers. Just like the endless potential of Raspberry Pi devices, the 5-inch IPS LCD Touch Display is a versatile and fantastic module to help you achieve your Maker visions.
