This is the Official Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 which is the sequel to the popular Raspberry Pi Official Display. It's smaller than the original: a mere 5′′ but has better resolution for a compact touchscreen display for Raspberry Pi. Unlike the original, it has a much higher quality IPS TFT screen, the same kind used on tablets. That means it looks great at any angle, and it has much higher resolution too, 1280x720 rather than 800x480! It is ideal for interactive projects such as tablets, entertainment systems, and information dashboards.
Raspberry Pi OS provides touchscreen drivers with support for five-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard, giving you full functionality without the need to connect a keyboard or mouse. No coding or special drivers required, everything works out of the box if you're running the latest Pi OS.
Only two connections are required to connect the 720x1280 display to your Raspberry Pi: power from the GPIO port, and a ribbon cable that connects to the DSI port on all Raspberry Pi computers except for the Raspberry Pi Zero line. The Pi can be mounted on the back for a cute all-in-one setup.
The display can be configured for portrait or landscape mode. Check out the Installation guide for how to get started fast. No tools are required; it's plug-and-play easy!
