The best solution, and the design the Raspberry Pi foundation chose to go with, is a DPI display and an adapter that converts the Pi’s DSI output to something the display can understand. DSI displays are purpose-built for specific devices, though, and aren’t something that would or should be used in a device that will be manufactured for years to come. The new display could have used the DSI (Display Serial Interface) adapter, or the small connector on the Pi that is not the camera connector. This DPI interface is an electrical nightmare that spews RF interference everywhere it goes. The DPI (Display Parallel Interface) for the Pi, presented on the expansion header and used by the GertVGA adapter allows any Pi to drive two displays at 1920 x 1024, 60FPS. There’s even a case available, and a stand ready to be sent off to a 3D printer.Īs for why it took so long for the Raspberry Pi foundation to introduce an official display for the Pi, the answer should not be surprising for any engineer. It’s a 7-inch display, 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 24-bit color, and has 10-point multitouch. Drivers for the display are already available with a simple call of sudo apt-get update, and the display itself is available at Newark, the Pi Store (sold out) and Element14. Yes, finally, and after years of work and countless people complaining on forums, there is a proper, official display for the Raspberry Pi.
