Product Overview
Raspberry Pi 5’s display connector is smaller than on earlier models; this cable connects it to displays with a standard 15-way connector. It is marked “DISPLAY” to avoid confusion with camera cables.
Key Features

| Marked ‘DISPLAY’ | Not confused with the camera cable |
Applications
| Application Area | Example Projects |
|---|---|
| Touchscreens | Connecting DSI displays to a Pi 5 |
| Kiosks | Pi 5 touch terminals |
| Dashboards | Displays for status screens |
Benefits
Right connector

Why Choose This Product?
Raspberry Pi 5 needs this cable to connect DSI displays such as the official 7-inch touchscreen.
Beginner Use Cases
- Connect the 7-inch touchscreen to a Pi 5
- Build a Pi 5 photo frame
Professional Use Cases
- Pi 5 kiosk builds
- HMI panels
Please Note
- Display cable only — do not use with a camera (use the Raspberry Pi 5 Camera Cable)
Choosing a Display
- Freenove 7-inch touch screen — DSI ribbon connection, 800 × 480, fits a desk or panel build.
- 10.1-inch touch screen — larger screen for kiosks and dashboards.
- Waveshare 2.4-inch SPI LCD — small module for microcontroller projects (ESP32, Pico, Arduino).
- On Raspberry Pi 5, DSI screens need the Raspberry Pi 5 Display Cable (22-pin to 15-pin) unless the screen kit includes one.
