Description

Waveshare Zero-DISP-7A is a 7 inch touch display kit designed specifically for Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. It combines a 1024 600 IPS panel with a purpose-built expansion board that adds Mini HDMI, 100M Ethernet, USB hub ports, audio output, and USB Type-C power in one compact kit.

This kit is built to turn a Pi Zero into a compact mini computer or embedded touch terminal without messy adapter wiring. The expansion board connects directly to the Pi Zero series through its dedicated ports, which helps keep the whole assembly neat and practical for projects, demonstrations, and portable builds.

Features

• 7 inch IPS display with 1024 600 resolution.
• 5-point capacitive touch with 6H tempered glass surface.
• Designed for Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero 2W with direct Mini HDMI and Micro USB connection layout.
• 100M Ethernet RJ45 for stable wired network connectivity.
• USB 2.0 2 via onboard hub for peripherals like keyboard, mouse, and storage.
• 3.5mm headphone jack and 4-pin speaker header for audio output.
• USB Type-C 5V power input for convenient single-cable powering.
• Button board included for power control and easier physical interaction.

Other Content

The Zero-DISP-7A is more than just a 7 inch screen. Its expansion board gives the Raspberry Pi Zero family practical desktop-style connectivity, including Ethernet, USB host, and audio output, while keeping the layout compact and purpose-built.

Because the kit is tailored to the Pi Zero series, it avoids the loose adapter-cable style setup that many small-board display projects end up with. That makes it a cleaner option for demos, compact appliances, and mini-computer assemblies.
