# Introducing the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2: A Higher Resolution, Slimmer Design

By Madeleine Schappi
Published: November 04, 2024


---


Way back in 2015,&nbsp;the&nbsp;original Raspberry Pi Touch Display, a 7″ 800×480-pixel LCD launched, it quickly became one of&nbsp;the bestsellers, finding its way into a wide array of maker projects and embedded applications. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of its successor, the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, available now!! This new version boasts a higher resolution of 720×1280 pixels, a refined design, and a slimmer form factor.
Key Features of the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2:


Display Size: 7″ diagonal

Active Area: 88mm × 155mm

Resolution: 720 (RGB) × 1280 pixels

Touch Capability: True multi-touch capacitive panel, supporting up to five fingers

Compatibility: Works with all Raspberry Pi models from the Pi 1B+ onwards (excluding the Zero series)

Power Source: Powered directly from your Raspberry Pi

Setting up the Touch Display 2 is quick and easy. It attaches securely to your Raspberry Pi with four screws and includes both power and data cables compatible with standard and mini FPC connector formats. The integrated display driver PCB, built right into the display enclosure, streamlines the setup and reduces its footprint.
Raspberry Pi OS fully supports this display, allowing five-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard, so you can enjoy complete functionality without a physical keyboard or mouse. While it natively supports portrait orientation, the OS also allows screen rotation for landscape use.
We’re committed to long product availability, and the Touch Display 2 will remain in production until at least 2030, providing embedded and industrial users the confidence to build it into long-term applications. The original Touch Display will still be available, although we recommend the new model for new projects.
After nine years, we’re excited to bring you a refreshed, thoughtfully upgraded display, and we can’t wait to see the innovative ways you’ll put the Touch Display 2 to work in your own projects!
