4-inch DSI touch display for Raspberry Pi

This 4-inch capacitive touch monitor connects directly to Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3A+ and Compute Module 4 or 3 boards via the DSI interface. It provides a 480×800 pixel IPS panel with a fully laminated toughened-glass surface. The display is intended for embedded projects that need a compact touchscreen without an HDMI cable.

Portrait orientation, IPS panel, five-point touch

The panel ships in portrait mode at 480×800 resolution and offers a 170° viewing angle. Five-point capacitive touch is handled through an I2C connection that requires a software driver. Backlight brightness can be adjusted in software. Note that Compute Module 3+ or 4 installations need a separate adapter board.

DSI interface limits compatibility to supported Pi

Because the display uses the Raspberry Pi DSI port, it only works with the boards listed in the specifications. Systems without a DSI connector, including most PCs and non-Pi single-board computers, cannot drive this screen. Buyers who need HDMI, USB-C or DisplayPort input should choose a different monitor.

Questions about this item

What Raspberry Pi models does the DSI interface on this 480x800 display support?

The DSI interface works with Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3A+, Compute Module 4 and Compute Module 3+. CM3+ and CM4 need an extra adapter board.

What physical mounting points does the 4inch IPS panel provide?

The fully laminated toughened-glass panel has no built-in mounting holes; it is designed to plug directly into the Raspberry Pi DSI connector and sit on the board.

How do I install the driver for 5-point capacitive touch on this screen?

Enable the DSI overlay in config.txt, install the WaveShare touch driver package, then reboot; the display defaults to portrait 480x800 so rotate in software for landscape.
