Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 on sale now at $60
Way back in 2015, we launched the Raspberry Pi Touch Display, a 7″ 800×480-pixel LCD panel supporting multi-point capacitive touch. It remains one of our most popular accessories, finding a home in countless maker projects and embedded products. Today, we’re excited to announce Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, at the same low price of $60, offering both a higher 720×1280-pixel resolution and a slimmer form factor.Key features of Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 include:
Touch Display 2 is powered from your Raspberry Pi, and is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers from Raspberry Pi 1B+ onwards, except for the Raspberry Pi Zero series which lack the necessary DSI port. It attaches securely to your Raspberry Pi with four screws, and ships with power and data cables compatible with both standard and mini FPC connector formats. Unlike its predecessor, Touch Display 2 integrates the display driver PCB into the display enclosure itself, delivering a much slimmer form factor.
Like its predecessor, Touch Display 2 is fully supported by Raspberry Pi OS, which provides drivers to support five-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard. This gives you full functionality without the need for a keyboard or mouse. While it is a native portrait-format 720×1280-pixel panel, Raspberry Pi OS supports screen rotation for users who would prefer to use it in landscape orientation.
Consistent with our commitment to long product availability lifetimes, the original Touch Display will remain in production for the foreseeable future, though it is no longer recommended for new designs. Touch Display 2 will remain in production until 2030 at the earliest, allowing our embedded and industrial customers to build it into their products and installations with confidence.
We’ve never gone nine years between refreshes of a significant accessory before. But we took the time to get this one just right, and are looking forward to seeing how you use Touch Display 2 in your projects and products over the next nine years and beyond.
