Description
Waveshare 11.9inch Capacitive Touch Display for Raspberry Pi 320×1480 is a long-format 11.9-inch DSI touch display designed for Raspberry Pi and vertical UI projects. It combines a 320 × 1480 IPS panel, 5-point capacitive touch, and a 6H toughened glass touch panel for dashboard-style interfaces, chassis side displays, smart control panels, and narrow embedded layouts.
This display is driven directly through the DSI interface and supports refresh rates up to 60Hz. It is portrait by default and can be switched to landscape through software configuration, making it flexible for both vertical and horizontal interface design.

- 5-point capacitive touch for interactive control.
- 6H toughened glass touch panel for improved surface durability.
- DSI interface for direct Raspberry Pi display connection.
- Up to 60Hz refresh rate for smooth UI rendering.
- Compatible with Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+ / 3A+ / CM3 / CM3+ / CM4.
- Supports Bookworm / Bullseye / Buster when used with Raspberry Pi.
- Software-controlled backlight brightness for easy adjustment.
- Portrait-first long-strip layout is ideal for vertical dashboards and side-screen applications.
- Suitable for custom touch screen projects and embedded product integration.

Other Content
The 11.9inch DSI LCD is a strong option when a project needs a long vertical display rather than a conventional rectangular screen. Its narrow format is well suited for stacked information, side controls, environmental dashboards, and space-limited front panels.
The display orientation is portrait by default and can be changed to landscape through software configuration. When used with CM3 / CM3+ / CM4, the official notes indicate that an extra adapter board is required, so compute module users should plan that part of the hardware stack in advance.
The official electrical notes also recommend a stable 5V power supply with at least 0.5A input current to avoid startup failure or abnormal display behavior.
