Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is a multi-touch portrait panel for Raspberry Pi, available in 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch sizes. It is ideal for interactive projects such as tablets, entertainment systems, kiosks and information dashboards — or simply as a compact monitor for the Raspberry Pi OS desktop.
Only two connections are required: power from the GPIO header, and a ribbon cable to the DSI port. No separate power supply is needed, and Raspberry Pi OS includes the touchscreen drivers and an on-screen keyboard, so you get full functionality without a keyboard or mouse attached.
Choosing a size: the 5-inch and 7-inch panels share the same 720 × 1280 resolution and five-finger capacitive touch, and work with every Raspberry Pi computer that has a DSI connector. The 10-inch steps up to a 1200 × 1920 IPS panel with ten-finger touch.
Please note: the 10-inch model is compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi Compute Modules only. The 5-inch and 7-inch models work with all Raspberry Pi computers with a DSI port, except the Raspberry Pi Zero line. Cases and enclosures designed for the original Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display will not fit Touch Display 2. Raspberry Pi board not included.
Features:
- Three sizes: 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch portrait panels
- True multi-touch: five-finger capacitive touch on the 5-inch and 7-inch, ten-finger on the 10-inch
- Two cables only: GPIO power plus a DSI ribbon cable — no external power supply
- Driver support built in: touchscreen drivers and on-screen keyboard included in Raspberry Pi OS
- Portrait by default: rotate to landscape in software
- Anti-glare surface on the 5-inch and 7-inch panels
- Rear mounting points for a Raspberry Pi board

A great pick for tablet builds, wall-mounted dashboards, home automation panels, point-of-sale and kiosk projects, or any Raspberry Pi build that needs a touchscreen without the clutter of a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse.
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.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- 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.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- 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.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- TFT
- A thin-film transistor display is a common type of colour LCD used for graphics screens. Knowing a product is for TFTs helps you check that the driver board matches the display’s connector, resolution, backlight, and signalling method.
