DSI Touch Display 3.5″ 640 × 480 for Raspberry Pi - Waveshare 33086

Description

Waveshare 33086 is a compact DSI touchscreen display designed for use with Raspberry Pi series boards. The integrated 3.5-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels provides a 4:3 aspect ratio, wide viewing angles up to 170°, and good readability for embedded applications, user interfaces, and educational projects.

The display uses the DSI interface, allowing direct connection to the dedicated Raspberry Pi connector without occupying GPIO pins. The native screen orientation corresponds to landscape mode (640 × 480), with the option to change orientation through software configuration.

The integrated capacitive touch panel supports up to five simultaneous touch points and communicates via the I2C bus. The front surface is protected by tempered glass with hardness up to 6H, improving resistance to scratches and mechanical damage. Touch operation is supported natively under Raspberry Pi OS, ensuring full software compatibility.

The solution targets HMI interfaces, control panels, measurement systems, educational projects, and embedded devices where a compact touchscreen with classic 4:3 proportions and straightforward Raspberry Pi integration is required. The product is offered by Waveshare, a company specializing in display solutions for embedded systems.
