Technical overview
- IPS panel with a hardware resolution of 1280×800 pixels
- Ten-point capacitive touch input via a tempered glass touch sensor with a hardness up to 6H
- Optical bonding of the panel to improve image quality
- Connection to the DSI1 port of the Raspberry Pi using a 12 cm DSI cable on newer models or a 15-pin FPC cable on older models
- Power supply through a 4-pin header with an input voltage of 4.75–5.30 V and a minimum current of 0.5 A
- Operating temperature range from 0 °C to 60 °C; storage temperature range from −10 °C to 70 °C
- Supports the Bookworm, Bullseye, and Buster operating systems on the Raspberry Pi
- Graphical brightness adjustment via the system menu or terminal command in the /sys/class/backlight sysfs directory
- Display rotation in Trixie/Bookworm via the “Screen” → “Orientation” menu, while Bullseye/Buster may require manual rotation
- Touch functionality can be disabled by adding the line disable_touchscreen=1 to config.txt

Notes and version constraints
- Exact compatibility lists and power values must be verified before purchase or deployment.
- If the motherboard is changed, the driver must be reinstalled because Pi4 and Pi3 require different driver files.
- Synchronous rotation of display and touch is only supported on Trixie/Bookworm; on Bullseye/Buster, touch rotation must be set manually.
- System updates may overwrite previously installed driver files, requiring reinstallation.
- The wlr-randr commands apply only to Labwc and Wayfire interfaces, not to X11.
- Long-term storage in hot, humid environments should be avoided as it can damage the display.
