Description

Waveshare 5inch DSI LCD (C) is a compact 5-inch capacitive touch display for Raspberry Pi projects. It uses a DSI interface, provides a 1024 600 hardware resolution, and supports 5-point capacitive touch, making it suitable for Raspberry Pi dashboards, embedded HMI, IoT control panels, and portable interactive devices.

This Waveshare 5inch DSI touch display is built with an IPS panel, 178 wide viewing angle, 6H toughened glass, and optical bonding for clearer images, more vivid colors, and a durable touch surface. It supports 60Hz refresh rate through the Raspberry Pi DSI interface and allows software backlight adjustment for better brightness control.

Other Content

The Waveshare 5inch DSI LCD (C) is a practical display choice when a Raspberry Pi project needs a compact screen with more workspace than many lower-resolution 5-inch modules. The 1024 600 resolution makes menus, charts, text, and touch controls easier to read, while the DSI interface keeps the display connection simple and clean.

For display integration, connect the Raspberry Pi DSI cable according to the official connection images. The Raspberry Pi boards shown in connection examples are for reference only and are not included. The included metal stand is useful for desktop testing, UI development, and prototype demos before the display is installed into an enclosure.
