Product Overview
The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is the successor to the original 7-inch Raspberry Pi screen, with improved clarity, wider viewing angles and a slimmer design.
Only a DSI ribbon and a GPIO power lead are needed, and Raspberry Pi OS provides the touch drivers, on-screen keyboard and adjustable backlight — perfect for dashboards, media centres and home-automation panels.
