The OSOYOO 5" IPS DSI touch screen connects to your Raspberry Pi through the DSI port. One cable carries both the picture and the touch signal, so it uses no GPIO pins, no HDMI port and no USB port — all 40 GPIO pins stay free for your own DIY projects. It is plug and play: no driver needs to be installed.
Why DSI?
- One cable does it all: display signal and capacitive touch travel over the single DSI ribbon cable.
- No GPIO occupied: unlike SPI screens, it does not use the SPI bus or any GPIO pins.
- No HDMI needed: the same clarity as an HDMI screen, without taking the HDMI port and without any HDMI licence cost.
- Driver-free: connect the cable, power on, and the screen just works.
Features
- 5" IPS LCD with 800 × 480 physical resolution, 24-bit colour and 60 Hz refresh rate
- 5-point capacitive touch (Raspberry Pi OS supports single-point touch)
- Wide 85° viewing angle on all four sides (85/85/85/85), so colours stay consistent when viewed from an angle
- Virtual resolution adjustable from 800 × 480 up to 1920 × 1080 on Raspberry Pi Legacy OS
- Strong anti-interference, ultra-low power consumption, long-distance lossless transmission, automatic sleep
- Reserved fixing holes for mounting Raspberry Pi boards
- Supports Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, RetroPie, OctoPrint and more. Note: Raspberry Pi 5 only supports Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm.
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3B+, 3B, 3A+ and 2B
Specifications
- Display: 5" IPS LCD, capacitive touch

- Refresh rate: 60 Hz
- Touch: 5-point capacitive (1-point under Raspberry Pi OS)
- Viewing angle: 85° / 85° / 85° / 85°

- Compatible boards: Raspberry Pi 5 / 4 / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+ / 2B
What's in the box?
- 1 × 5" DSI touch LCD screen for Raspberry Pi
- 1 × 15-pin to 15-pin DSI FFC 10 cm cable for Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 (metal connectors on the same side)
- 1 × 15-pin 1 mm to 22-pin 0.5 mm DSI FPC 20 cm cable for Raspberry Pi 5 (metal connectors on opposite sides)
- 1 × cross screwdriver
- 1 × user manual
Setup in 3 steps
- Flash your OS image (Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, RetroPie, OctoPrint, and more) to a micro SD card (16 GB or larger) with Raspberry Pi Imager or Win32DiskImager.
- Connect the DSI cable: for Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 use the 15-pin to 15-pin cable (metal connectors on the same side); for Raspberry Pi 5 use the 15-pin 1 mm to 22-pin 0.5 mm cable (metal connectors on opposite sides). Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and assemble the screen.
- Power up and wait for the system to start. No driver installation is needed.
Please note
- The DSI port of the OSOYOO 5" DSI screen is different from the official Raspberry Pi 7" DSI screen, and its cable is different from the official cable. Please use the included cable and check the metal connector orientation on both sides.
- On Raspberry Pi 5, please use Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm.
- For the latest Ubuntu Desktop OS, edit
/boot/firmware/config.txt: adddisplay_auto_detect=1and comment out the linedtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d(make it#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d). - Adjusting the virtual resolution and the display rotation works on Raspberry Pi Legacy OS; on Bookworm the virtual resolution cannot be adjusted.
- Brightness can be adjusted in the system (rpi_backlight / brightnessctl), and an on-screen virtual keyboard can be added (matchbox-keyboard) if you want to type without a USB keyboard.
- Do not touch your Raspberry Pi board while power is on or when your hands carry a static charge — discharge static by touching a metal tap first.

This is an excellent product and works on the Trixie OS out of the box with no special setup required. The display is bright and crystal clear and I am proud to add it to my list of supported products for my Raspberry Pi Internet radio. See https://www.bobrathbone.com/raspberrypi/pi_internet_radio.html
It was easy to install and worked fine. My problem with it was that I couldn't properly size the screen no matter what I tried. I had to reboot several times because I would open a program and, because the screen was misized, I couldn't close it.
This is a great display and I'm using it on my BLV mgn Cube printer build. The only issue is that the cable it comes with is straight-thru as noted elsewhere and all the other RPi cables are twisted. I needed a longer cable so I cut off one end of my meter long cable and stripped off the insulation on the other side using a detail file. The backing from the cut off end is needed to make sure the new cable is thick enough to latch into the connector but other than that the modified cable works great.
Plugged it in and it immediately worked. It's awesome to have a screen that doesn't require 5 other items just to hook it up to the PI. I'm creating a custom case for the Pi and screen and this screen should work great. The brightness is good but the only way to adjust is through command but that is ok. As others mentioned the ribbon cable is the oddity in this purchase. Both connections are on the same side so using a normal cable wont work. Only thing I'd like to see are cables listed for purchase with the device. The cable that comes with it is about 4 inches long so it works but a longer cable would be nice. After seeing many replys to questions by the company I decided to message them about it. I asked how much an 8-10 in cable would cost. I received the reply they don't have any which is a big disappointment. Still works great just not good that a larger cable cannot be found anywhere.
What can I say? This is like ONE of only TWO screens in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE that runs on the pi display port. And it doesn't have a separate driver board that I have to figure out what to do with. Those were its two main selling points. It has a good enough picture, I suppose. It could be brighter. The touchscreen works flawlessly. And doesn't feel cheap like some OTHER displays. I only wish it was an IPS! Oh well.. Maybe someday... At least NOW I can fit everything inside the case, and is powered directly from the display port. I haven't had it long enough to know what kind of battery life to expect; but it's been running for roughly two hours on a 5000mA battery and has only drained a quarter of it so far. Yes I would recommend it.
