## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=WS-30326:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. 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-30326:1.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)

## Description

A high-definition IPS screen designed to integrate seamlessly with Raspberry Pi and embedded systems. By utilising the Display Serial Interface (DSI), this unit connects directly to your board via a flexible flat cable, providing both video signal and touch data without the need for bulky HDMI adapters or separate power supplies.

Built for durability and professional integration, the panel features toughened glass with a hardness rating of up to 6H, making it resilient enough for public-facing kiosks or workshop interfaces. With a crisp 800×1280 resolution and 10-point capacitive touch support, it offers the responsiveness and visual fidelity expected in modern tablet-like interfaces, all while maintaining a slim 11.6mm profile thanks to its integrated driver circuitry.

### Core Features

- **Streamlined DSI Connection:** Connects directly to the Raspberry Pi DSI port, eliminating the need for HDMI cables and separate power bricks, resulting in a cleaner, more compact build.
- **Superior Visual Clarity:** Uses **optical bonding** to fuse the touch panel and LCD, which significantly reduces light reflection, improves contrast, and prevents dust from getting trapped under the screen.
- **Wide Viewing Angles:** The IPS panel technology ensures consistent colour and legibility from up to 178°, making it ideal for mounted control panels or dashboards.
- **Robust Build Quality:** Features a toughened glass cover with 6H hardness, providing excellent scratch resistance and durability for interactive projects.
