Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WS-29112:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Crisp 1280 × 800 pixels across a 7-inch IPS panel, driven straight off the Raspberry Pi's DSI connector at up to 60Hz. It is a proper desktop-grade display for projects that have outgrown a small SPI screen. Because the panel talks to the Pi over MIPI DSI rather than HDMI, the entire 40-pin GPIO header stays free for your own hardware, and there is no second USB cable needed for touch. A single ribbon carries video. The front is a 6H-hardness toughened glass cover, optically bonded to the panel so there is no air gap between glass and pixels — sharper contrast, fewer internal reflections and nowhere for dust to settle. A wide colour gamut backlight pushes chroma out to 68% NTSC. Mounting is direct: M2.5 screws hold a Raspberry Pi 5 or 4B against the back of the display, and spring-loaded pogo pins take 5V and I2C straight from the board, so no separate lead is required (but one is included for CM boards). ### Features - Stays legible from any angle — an IPS panel with a 178° viewing cone, rather than the washed-out TFT used on cheaper 7-inch screens - Richer, truer colour thanks to a wide colour gamut LED backlight rated at 68% NTSC - Optical bonding removes the air gap behind the glass, improving clarity outdoors and sealing the panel against dust - Ten-point capacitive touch over I2C, so pinch, rotate and multi-finger gestures behave as expected (the usable point count depends on your operating system) - 6H toughened glass cover stands up to daily prodding in kiosk, workshop and HMI builds - Leaves all 40 GPIO pins available — the DSI ribbon carries both video and touch - Backlight brightness is adjustable in software: the Raspberry Pi OS Screens control panel, Waveshare's brightness utility, or a single command written to `/sys/class/backlight` - Display and touch rotate together in Trixie and Bookworm, useful for portrait dashboards and instrument panels - Works with Raspberry Pi 5, CM5, 4B, CM4, 3B+, 3A+, 3B and CM3, with driver overlays supplied for both current and legacy Raspberry Pi OS releases - Ships with every cable and fastener needed for a Pi 5, a 4B or a Compute Module IO board — no separate accessory order ### Specifications | Screen size | 7 inch | |---|---| | Resolution | 1280 × 800 pixels | | Display panel | IPS | | Viewing angle | 178° | | Colour gamut | 68% NTSC | | Display interface | MIPI DSI (15-pin FPC) | | Refresh rate | Up to 60Hz | | Touch type | Capacitive, 10-point | | Touch interface | I2C (I2C0 by default, I2C1 selectable) | | Cover glass | Toughened glass, 6H hardness | | Bonding process | Optical bonding (full lamination) | | Power input | 5V via spring pogo pins, or the 4-pin PH2.0 cable | | Supported devices | Raspberry Pi 5, CM5, 4B, CM4, 3B+, 3A+, 3B, CM3 | | Operating system | Raspberry Pi OS — Trixie, Bookworm, Bullseye, Buster | | Dimensions | 170.18 × 104.20 mm, approximately 14.9 mm deep | | Weight | 290 g | ### Resources - [Waveshare wiki](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch_DSI_LCD_(E)) ### What's Included - 1x 7inch DSI LCD (E) display - 1x MIPI DSI cable, 12cm - 1x FPC 15-pin 1.0mm pitch cable, 50mm, opposite sides - 1x FPC 15-pin 1.0mm pitch cable, 160mm, opposite sides - 1x PH2.0 4-pin cable, approximately 200mm - 1x Screw pack ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/W/S/WS-29112_ecommerce_1788742334696.jpg)
