A 12.3-inch IPS touch display with a 720×1920 portrait-mode resolution that connects directly via DSI (Display Serial Interface). The 10-point capacitive touch panel uses I2C, and the toughened glass with optical bonding provides both durability and excellent optical clarity. At 450 cd/m², the display is bright enough for well-lit indoor environments.
The DSI connection is supported on Raspberry Pi 5, CM5, and RK3576-based boards. The display defaults to portrait orientation but can be switched to landscape via software configuration. An all-metal backplate adds rigidity and aids heat dissipation.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DSI
- DSI stands for Display Serial Interface, a high-speed connection commonly used to send video data from a computer board to a display. It matters because DSI signals are not simple GPIO wires, so the cable, connector, and signal routing need to match the display interface.
- HMI
- HMI stands for Human-Machine Interface, meaning the screen, buttons, or controls a person uses to interact with a device. For this product, it suggests the display is intended for control panels, dashboards, robot faces, or other user-facing interfaces.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- IPS
- IPS is a type of LCD panel that keeps colours and contrast more consistent when viewed from an angle. This matters for small displays that may be mounted in a dashboard, handheld project, or enclosure where the viewer is not always looking straight on.
- Multi-touch
- Multi-touch means the touchscreen can detect more than one finger contact at the same time. This matters for interfaces that use gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, or on-screen controls used together.
