Compact Raspberry Pi Display

The WaveShare 2.8inch IPS panel delivers a 480×640 hardware resolution in a fully laminated package. It targets Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano developers who need a small capacitive touchscreen for embedded projects or portable debugging. Five-point touch works through a driver-free USB-C link or an optional I2C connection on the Pi. The toughened glass surface rates 6H hardness for everyday handling.

Check Video And Touch Ports

Your host must provide an HDMI video signal plus either a USB-C port for touch or a free I2C header on the Raspberry Pi GPIO. Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 are supported for PC use, while Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, WIN10 IoT and Retropie cover the Pi side. Jetson Nano requires Ubuntu with USB-C touch only. Verify that your single-board computer can supply enough current for the display and touch controller combined.

Low Heat Silent Operation

The small IPS module runs cool and adds no audible fan noise to a build. Backlight brightness is adjustable, letting you reduce power draw when maximum luminance is not needed. Typical desktop or headless Pi workloads keep the panel at comfortable temperatures without active cooling. Power consumption scales with brightness level and touch activity.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.8 inch monitor come with the HDMI and USB-C cables needed to connect it to a PC?

The product is a display module with HDMI and USB-C touch interfaces; cables are not included and must be purchased separately to match your host device.

Should I use the USB-C touch port or the I2C interface for my Raspberry Pi project?

Use the USB-C touch port for driver-free operation on Raspberry Pi; the I2C interface is also available but requires adding a configuration file to enable touch input.

Will the 480×640 resolution look sharp enough for terminal work on a Raspberry Pi?

The 2.8 inch IPS panel packs 480×640 pixels into a small area, giving a high pixel density that renders text clearly for command-line and lightweight GUI tasks.
