Waveshare 8.8inch DSI Capacitive 10-Point Touch Display 480 1920

Description

Waveshare 8.8inch DSI Capacitive 10-Point Touch Display 480 1920 is a long-format IPS touch display designed for Raspberry Pi and Compute Module projects that need an ultra-wide vertical interface. This 8.8inch DSI LCD combines a unique 480 1920 resolution, 10-point capacitive touch, optical bonding, and 6H toughened glass for secondary displays, automotive dashboards, embedded consoles, and narrow HMI panels.

The display connects through the DSI interface and supports Raspberry Pi OS with driver-free support on newer systems. Its long 8.8-inch form factor makes it useful for status bars, monitoring screens, vertical control panels, and projects that need more display height than a conventional small LCD.

Features

• 8.8-inch IPS display with 480 1920 long-format resolution.
• 10-point capacitive touch for fluid multi-touch interaction.
• Optical bonding for clearer image quality and improved dust resistance.
• 6H toughened glass for better scratch and impact resistance.
• DSI interface for Raspberry Pi and Compute Module integration.
• Up to 60Hz refresh rate for smooth UI display.
• Software-adjustable backlight brightness for power management and viewing comfort.
• 178 wide viewing angle from the IPS panel.
• Driver-free support on newer Raspberry Pi OS versions according to the official materials.
